St. John’s 8th Grade Class Trip

Summer Childcare
Registration forms for summer childcare went home with those families who expressed an interest in summer childcare.  If you did not receive a form and are interested in the summer program, please see a member of the childcare staff or the school office.  Forms are due back by April 25th.

Drop off / Pickup 
The school parking lot has been, and remains a concern for many parents and the faculty. After school we need to assure that parents either park and come in to get their children or pull to the right side after the stop sign to pick up their children. The problem is that after school the children line up along that wall. We will work to keep the children on the sidewalk and we would like to make sure that you pull beyond the stop sign (as far forward as possible) and to the right before the children start to get in/out of the car. 

Thank you for your cooperation. 

Morning Matters 

Each morning from 7:30 to 7:45AM, the faculty prepares for the day and participates in daily faculty devotion. Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children until the school opens at 7:45AM. Students, who arrive before the 7:45 bell and are not supervised by their parents, are to enter at the lower level and go to early morning childcare. The cost of this program is $.75 per 15 minutes.      

Dear Friends in Christ,

Scripture repeatedly reminds us of the blessings God gives His people. Of all the blessings He has given you, your children may be your most precious. It is my privilege to work with you to bring your children up in the understanding and instruction of our Lord.

It is the hope of St. John's Lutheran School and Church that together we will (1) build a body of believers that praise God's holy name and that will (2) share His love and expectations with the world in which we live. We hope that through our instruction your child will (3) see what happens in life as part of a design our Heavenly Father has for each of us. Our school is a major part of how our congregation intends to accomplish these goals.

Through our school curriculum we teach God the Father's creation and guidance of our world. We teach Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer of our world and our children confess the Holy Spirit, working through the Gospel message, provides the loving power through which we can do all things for God's glory. Our curriculum reflects these principles as we teach the subjects of Religion, Reading, Math, History, Science, the Language Arts and the Fine Arts. Each of these subjects is presented through the eyes of Christian teachers and discussed in ways that emphasize the importance of God's commands. Each of these subjects involves the participation of students to enhance ownership of these Christian ideals.

Through our school's extra curricular activities, we teach the principles of Christian interaction on the athletic field and in academic competition. We offer opportunities of service learning, music, art and small group activities to all our students. We work to involve parents in service to church, school and God through activities for the children.

As we put into print the ways in which we aim to accomplish these goals, we want to communicate to you how we hope to share the responsibility God has given you in the person of your child. We hope you will grant us that privilege.

In the Service of God,

Scott Uecker, Principal

Childcare is separate from the school with its own director and staff. While intended to be a mission arm of the congregation, the Childcare program is planned to be self-sufficient, generating the income needed to pay its operating expenses. 

The Childcare Room is similar to the classrooms in that it provides teacher-led activities and is equipped with learning centers and educational materials. It is a place where our preschoolers can go after their morning classes or on days when they do not have class. Parents pay for this service. Our Childcare accepts children who are at least two and potty-trained, providing another opportunity to reach out with the Gospel to the unchurched in our community.

For more information contact Leigh Ann Treichel, Director, (414) 258-4214.   

The congregation and parents share the cost of operating St. John's Lutheran School. The cost per student, for the 2005-06 school year, was approximately $4300, of which 70% was paid by the congregation. We encourage you to call the school for the exact costs for your child, as there are several factors that determine your final cost, including but not limited to: church membership, number of children, preschool, etc.
