We believe in fostering active parent/teacher relationships by providing daily opportunities for parent/teacher interaction. We believe that it is important for parents to keep current of happenings at school. We’d like you to work closely with the teachers in order to make your child’s experience here the best possible. Please:

1. Check your child’s cubby and folder daily
2. Check the Parent Board for new information
3. Sign your child in and out every day. This is done with the Brightwheel app.
4. Let the teachers know when something at home may affect your child’s behavior at school
5. Watch for field trip flyers
6. Watch for special occasion sign-up sheets
7. Call in before 8:00am if your child won’t be at school that day
8. Make tuition payments on time. You will be billed through FACTS, our online billing system.
9. Keep all information up-to-date in your child’s files

Parents are encouraged to participate as volunteers in the following areas:

1. Assist in class activities and field trips
2. Donate quality toys and books that are no longer used.
3. Use your talents to improve our program and facility.
4. Help maintain the facility.
5. Donate art materials: Paper towel tubes, paper plates, buttons, tacky glue, yarn, egg cartons, lunch size paper bags, Ziploc bags
6. Cutting out lamination or materials for projects
7. Reading to the kids from time-to-time
8. Driving for field trips
9. Planning classroom parties
10. Helping wash and disinfect classroom toys on a regular basis
11. Using your areas of expertise to come into the classroom and do a mini lesson with the children (example: woodworking, leather, sewing, etc.)

Dear Parents,

Our children are very precious gifts given to us by our loving Father in Heaven. Thank you for entrusting Reformation Lutheran Church, School, and Preschool with this gift. It is our honor to work with you to train your child to know the love of their Savior, Jesus Christ. The faculty of Reformation Lutheran School along with the pastors, staff, and members of Reformation are dedicated to bringing you and your family God’s Word in its truth and purity.

Since 1970, Reformation Lutheran Church, School, and Preschool has been reaching out to the people of our community with God’s word. We provide a safe place where you as parents can send your children and know that they are being well taken care of and instructed in the Light of God’s Word each and every day. We are grateful to the Lord for the many blessings he has given us through you and through the children that we serve. We do not take this lightly or for granted. We know that your children mean the world to you, and as precious children of God, they mean the world to us as well.

We are honored to have you consider our Preschool for your child. Know that Reformation is a family and from Preschool through 8th grade, we all take care of each other. The bond that the preschoolers have with the other children on campus is a unique one. You can genuinely see the love they have for each other and the sense of brotherly, sisterly care. We would personally like to welcome you to our family! Please feel free to come in and visit our family when you are able. Please an appointment if you can, but if you are in the neighborhood and want to drop in, feel free as well. If neither of those options works for you, please feel free to call us with any questions you might have.
