Admission
Immanuel Lutheran School admits, as class size allows, students of
any race, color, ethnic origin, or religion. Entrance requirements are
those
of the State of Missouri. A child entering Kindergarten must be five by
August 1. All students must have proper immunizations as established by
the State.
Application for admission is accepted according to the following
order: children in families currently attending the school, children of
members, children with no church affiliation, children of members of
sister Lutheran churches, and children affiliated with other Christian
Churches as class
size permits.
Philosophy and
Purposes
All who have been brought to faith in Jesus Christ are commissioned
by Him to preserve and extend the kingdom of God. It is no less true
for children and for a Christian Day School. It becomes a corporate
responsibility when Christians gather as a Lutheran School.
Christian education - applying God's Law and Gospel to all aspects
of life and learning - is a vital component of Immanuel Lutheran
Church's ministry. As a Lutheran Church body, we believe that "the most
effective education
agencies available to the church for equipping children and youth for
ministry
are the full-time Lutheran preschool, elementary, and secondary
schools."
(1983 Convention Proceedings, Res. 1-17.) Immanuel Lutheran School
works
to accomplish five basic purposes.
1. Education occurs daily in all subjects to prepare
children
to serve God and People through their lives. The student's faith in
Christ
is nurtured by the Holy Spirit through God's Word.
2. Worship in Immanuel Lutheran School is not confined to
the
daily classroom devotion or to chapel worship experiences, but occurs
throughout the day. Students are helped to grow in their prayer lives,
learning to
pray privately and corporately, whenever the needs or opportunities
arise.
3. Evangelism is always present for and through the
students who attend Immanuel. Students learn to witness naturally and
effectively as they observe their teachers and other staff members.
Through their Christian lives, students bear testimony to each other
and to their community. Students of unchurched families hear the Good
News of Jesus' love and share it with their families and friends.
4. Fellowship is enjoyed by all members of the school
community. Students and staff accept one another as fellow members of
the Body of Christ. They play together, support, encourage, and witness
to one another. Each
person's uniqueness is recognized, and individuals are helped to
achieve
their full potential.
5. Service becomes a natural part of school life. The
school community is led to help others not only in school but also in
the community and the world. Teachers and staff encourage Christ-like
compassion and love for all people. As opportunity permits, teachers,
students, and parents volunteer to serve others together and separately.
Immanuel Lutheran School serves families in a variety of ways
and
also helps Parents carry out their parental responsibilities in
Christian
education.
Attendance
In accordance with the laws of the State, all pupils are held to
regular, punctual attendance. Students and parents of our school are
also encouraged to be faithful in Church and Sunday school attendance.
Attendance records are kept for school, church, and Sunday school.
Accreditation and
Certification
Immanuel Lutheran School is accredited by the National Lutheran
School Accreditation Agency and the Missouri Chapter of Non-Public
School State
Accrediting Associations, both recognized by the State of Missouri.
All teachers on our staff have degrees in education and are
certified by the State of Missouri. Many have advanced degrees.
Curriculum &
Instruction
We recognize each student as a unique child of God with special
talents and abilities. We encourage each student to reach his or her
potential.
Our curriculum includes religion, reading, English, art, social
studies,
math, science, physical education, and music as well as choir.
Newsnotes (Hotstuff)
The principal, Mr. Clements, writes weekly Newsnotes (entitled
"Hotstuff") that are sent home each Friday. The informational bulletin
informs students and parents of events and other school issues. Weekly
notes, and sometimes notes even more frequent than that, are written to
keep parents informed
of the activities at the school.
Computer Education
Computer instruction is provided throughout the grades. A primary
and an upper grade computer lab exists. This computer lab was upgraded
to Pentium Processors in 1997.
Library
The school operates its own library. Volunteers serve as
librarians.
Books are checked out for one week in Kindergarten through Grade 2 and
a
two-week period in grades 3 through 8. Library day is Tuesday.
Field Trips
The students of Immanuel school participate in educational
experiences outside the classroom throughout the school year.
Lunch
Hot lunches and milk are served daily and meet Federal guidelines.
Science Lab
A science lab has been developed to house science equipment,
videos,
and other teaching aids.
Chapel Services
A chapel service is scheduled once a week for students, teachers,
and guests. The service is generally held Wednesday mornings at 8:00.
All parents and members of the community are invited to attend. Chapel
offerings are
given to needy projects on a yearly basis.
Music
Three student choirs exist within the school, the primary (grades
1-3), junior (grades 4-6) and youth (grades 7-8) choirs. The choirs
sing regularly in chapel services and Sunday worship services. Upper
grade students also learn to play the tone chimes. School operettas are
also presented.
Physical Education
All students have regularly scheduled physical education classes.
All students in grades 5-8 wear Immanuel P.E. uniforms for all gym
classes.
Grades 1-6 also participate in an annual field day in Rolla, Missouri,
the
first Friday in May.
Athletics
Girls in grades 5-8 may play on a school volleyball team. Girls in
grades 7 and 8 can be on the cheerleading squad or pom-pon squad. The
girls in
grades 7 and 8 can also play Girl's Basketball. Boys in grades 5-8 have
the
opportunity to become members of a basketball team.
Students may not participate in extra curricular events unless they
maintain acceptable conduct and a "C" average. A schedule of games and
events is published. Parents and Friends are invited to attend these
events and all practices.
