Trinity Lutheran School admits students of any race, color, national
and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities
generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and
ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission
policies, and athletic and other school administered programs.
Enrollment at Trinity is on an annual basis. An application for
enrollment must be filed each year, signed by both parents/guardians
and accompanied by the registration fee. The registration fee is
non-refundable. Application for enrollment does not constitute
acceptance. The Christian Day School Board will endeavor to provide
room for all of Trinity's member children interested in enrolling
who are not currently attending. In order to accomplish this goal,
the following procedures will be used:
1. Application forms are made available in the late winter.
2. Trinity member families must enroll by the date set and published
in church and school newsletters to be eligible for priority admittance.
After the set date, Trinity member children will be accepted by
date of application as room permits.
Other criteria
for admission:
1. All applications are to be submitted to the school office.
2. Applicant parents/guardians and pupil meet with the principal.
3. The child's prospective teacher may interview and/or test
the child and make a
recommendation for placement level.
4. Proof of immunizations required by the State of California
Department of Health must be presented to the office within ten
(10) days of enrollment or the student will not be allowed to attend
classes until such proof is brought to the office. If parents do
not wish their child immunized because of their personal beliefs
or a doctor feels the child should not be immunized due to medical
reasons a letter stating this fact must be given to the school
to be put in the students permanent record.
5. No child in Grades 1-8 will be admitted whose records indicate
previous disruptive behavior.
All new students are on probationary status for three months and
until previous school records are received.
6. A child with special educational needs will be admitted by
the Board only if it is felt that the problem can be handled by
our regular staff and/or an approved tutor provided by the parents
or guardians. Trinity Lutheran School is not equipped to handle
most special education situations.
7. A child whose fifth birthday occurs on or before September 1st may enter Kindergarten in September of the same year.
8. A child whose sixth birthday occurs on or before September
1st may enter first grade
in September of the same year.
9. All pupils enrolling in Kindergarten and new students entering
first grade must present a birth certificate as verification of
age.
10. The Board acts upon principal and teacher recommendations.
