ADMISSION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

POLICY OF NON-DISCRIMINATION

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. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.

ADMISSION PRIORITY

Students shall be admitted to Trinity Lutheran School based on the following priorities:

1. CURRENTLY ENROLLED STUDENTS are given first priority for re-enrollment, but MUST pre-enroll during the re-enrollment period (late February or early March). The enrollment fee must be paid to secure each re-enrolling student's place.

2. MEMBERS OF TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH OR SISTER LCMS CONGREGATIONS* Qualifying families must make their intent known to the school office prior to open enrollment to the community to secure this priority.

3. NEW STUDENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY*

*Following the re-enrollment period for currently enrolled students, enrollment will be opened to the community on a first come-first served basis.

ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE

Obtain an Enrollment Packet from the School Office.
Complete all forms required in the Enrollment Packet, including the following:

	The Enrollment Form
	The Probationary Form
	Emergency Care Release Form
	Request for Records Form (New students only)
	The Student Contract form stating that the parent or guardian agrees to be responsible for enrollment and book fees upon enrollment and has read, understands, and agrees to all rules, regulations, and policies of Trinity Lutheran School.
	Include a copy of each child's current inoculation records.

Return completed forms to the school office and pay the annual enrollment fee. A student's place cannot be held without payment of the enrollment fee. All forms must be signed and turned in before 1st day of school or your child cannot attend.

Waiting List: If a particular class is filled, parents wishing to be placed on the waiting list must first complete and submit all forms in the Enrollment Packet. When an opening exists, parents will be notified and will need to pay the annual enrollment fee prior to final admission.

STUDENT GRADE PLACEMENT

Chronological Age Requirements: The following age requirements coincide with the Norman Public School's cut-off dates and are strictly observed at Trinity Lutheran School:

	Pre-K 3 - must be 3 before September 1st and completely bathroom trained.
	Pre-K 4 - must be 4 before September 1st and completely bathroom trained.
	Kindergarten - must be 5 before September 1st.
	Grade 1 - must be 6 before September 1st.
	Grades 2-6 - Children who have been advanced a grade above the chronological ages at previously attended schools must provide documentation of successful completion of the last grade, as well as recommendation for placement in the next grade level.

Other factors considered in grade placement include each child's intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development.

Trinity Lutheran School reserves the right to determine the final grade placement of enrolled students.

PROBATION PERIOD

Trinity Lutheran School maintains a fine and gifted faculty. Yet, our teachers are not expected to handle students with exceptional developmental and/or other special needs. Every student enrolled at Trinity Lutheran School will be admitted on a probationary basis of one (1) month. During this period, each student will be assessed for continued enrollment according to the following criteria:

	Ability to perform at grade level
	Acceptable classroom, playground and field trip behavior
	Proper respect for peers, teachers, and other adults
	Interruption of school routine

Parents will be notified at the end of the probation period if their child has demonstrated unsatisfactory progress. The child may either have the probation period extended upon acceptance of specific guidelines, or be removed from enrollment at Trinity Lutheran School. If a child is removed from enrollment, no fees or tuitions will be refunded.
