Enrollment and Registration
Enrollment Process and Form
Children who enroll in Trinity must meet age requirements set by the State of Illinois. Currently, September 1 is the date set for determining this requirement for entry into Kindergarten or below. Enrollment in Trinity is considered in the following order:
- Members of Trinity Lutheran Church
- Current families enrolled in school
- Community
Students with special education needs that cannot be served in the school's regular program may be referred to other schools that are designed to meet such needs.
Prior to accepting a student transferring from another school, all transcripts, health records, etc. must be received from the school previously attended. Students applying for enrollment in 7th and 8th grade must receive Board approval prior to acceptance. This provision does not apply to students who have moved into the area and are transferring from another Lutheran school or a dependent of a called or contract worker employed by Trinity Lutheran Church and School.
All new applicants to Trinity Lutheran School will have a conference between parents, student, teacher (if available) and school principal before applications are processed and accepted. Placement in a grade will be based on the previous school's recommendation.
If a student is transferring from a tuition-based institution, all financial obligations to that institution must be satisfied. As a new student to Trinity, the transcript of grades and test scores will be thoroughly examined. Any deficiencies will be noted and disclosed to the teacher. In keeping with a goal of helping each student toward an effective education experience, faculty and parents must work to alleviate the situation if a student experienced difficult in academics or behavior. If any student continually exhibits unsatisfactory performance, enrollment may be terminated.
