July, 2010
Dear Parents,
One month of summer vacation has come and gone.
July and August will pass just as quickly. Here are a few details that
you’re sure to want to know about the upcoming school year.
ü
“By the Book” theme for the year combines living by
Biblical truths of love and respect, as well as academic growth and an
emphasis on the curriculum and text books.
ü
Back-to-School parent-teacher meetings will take
place on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 17 & 18 (10 am - 7:30 pm).
All families (grades 1-8) are asked to schedule their 20
minute conferences through the following e-mail:
school@immanuellutheranfreeport.com. Please note “School
Conference” in the ‘subject’ line. Please include your name, child/ren’s
names, date and time for the conference in the e-mail. Meetings will be
confirmed by the teachers. Preschool and kindergarten families
will be contacted by their teachers; Mrs. Yarzak (3 year olds), Mrs.
Tiesman (4 year olds) and Mrs. Larson (kindergarten), to schedule their
conferences.
ü
New students must present an original
birth certificate to the office. It will be copied and returned. This
original certificate is obtained from the county clerk’s office where
your child was born.
ü
All students (K-8) and their parents or guardians
need to sign the dress code and discipline code, enclosed. The
2010-2011 Emergency Form is included. Please completely fill out
the form making sure all phone numbers and information are correct.
This information is very important if we need to get in touch with you
should your child become ill or get hurt.
ü
Tuition and fee questions are answered by Myra
Mullin, Immanuel bookkeeper (232-3511) or through Smart Tuition
(888-868-8828), our bank liaison. Immanuel operates a “Scrip” program
which allows individual families to earn money towards their tuition.
Purchase gift cards from the school or online and the profit is divided
between your tuition account and the school.
ü
New letters of insurance must be furnished to the
school showing your child’s health insurance coverage. Bring a copy
(front and back) of your insurance card, the actual card, or a letter
from your insurance company with you on conference day. A state-funded
insurance program called KidCare is available to children who might not
otherwise have insurance.
ü
Proof of physical exams are required for new
preschool students, kindergartners, and 6th graders.
Proof of dental exams are required for students in grades
kindergarten, 2nd, and 6th. Proof of an
eye exam is required for kindergarten students. All
students must be current in their immunizations by October 1st.
ü
Installation of our staff will take place during
the opening Chapel Service at 9 AM on Wednesday, August 25th
as well as at both the 8 and 10:30 church services on Sunday, August
29th at Immanuel Lutheran Church. A reception will take
place on Sunday during the Sunday School hour from 9:15 to 10:15 in the
church fellowship hall.
ü
Opening chapel takes place on the first day of
school: Wednesday, August 25th, at 9 AM.
ü
School starts on Wednesday, August 25th,
for K-8 students, with a half day, 8:45-11:45.
ü
Preschool for 3 year-olds begins on
Thursday, August 26th. Four-year olds
begin school on Friday, August 27th. Their classes
run from 8:45-11:15.
ü
Students may come to school as early as 8:15. They
will be supervised by teachers at the back door starting then. Then, at
8:35, the doors open. School starts at 8:45 a.m. Students in
grades 1 through 8 who are not in their rooms by 8:45 will be
required to get a late pass from the office. Five unexcused tardies
will result in a student detention. Excused tardies are allowed only
for a student’s medical issue/appointment or inclement weather. A late
school bus is not considered a tardy since the children are in the care
of school personnel. If the temperature is below 20 degrees or
raining, the children will be brought in as they arrive.
ü
Classroom, office, and library volunteers are
needed. Please fill out and return the enclosed form on conference
day. Mrs. Karen Gieseke will by coordinating the classroom volunteers,
and Mrs. Chris Truckenmiller will be organizing the library volunteers.
ü
Coaches are needed for fall sports. If you would
like to coach or serve as assistant soccer or volleyball coach, please
let Principal Welton know. Cheerleading coaches will be needed this
winter as well.
ü
Applications are being accepted for the position of
Athletic Director. This part-time person would coordinate the
practices and games of our sports program. Contact Mr. Welton at
232-3511 for more information and an application.
ü
Childcare is available all day to three and four
year-olds. It runs in conjunction to our preschool program. Before
school care is offered to all Immanuel students from 6:30 until 8:35
and after school care is available from 3:05 until 5:45. Mrs.
Yarzak has more information, including costs. The CCDC number is
232-3443.
ü
Dan Medler is the chairperson of the Immanuel
Lutheran School (Grades K-8) Board of Education. He has been
elected by the members of Immanuel Lutheran Church, and selects his
board, which must include the church’s pastors and the school’s
principal. Members include Ron Kohlbauer, Jamie Holman, Katherine Shaw,
and John Wichmann. A member may be from a church other than Immanuel.
If you question a school or teacher action, first see the staff members
involved, then the principal, and then the board. They meet the second
Monday of the month at 5 PM in the school library.
ü
The Board of Christian Child Development Center
(CCDC) govern preschool, daycare, and before and after school care.
That board meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in
the school library. John Wichmann chairs that board. Members

CCDC Director Stephanie Yarzak.
ü

Thursday evening worship takes place at 6:30. Outdoor services will
take place on Thursdays, July 15 and August 20th. Brats and

Playground Challenge
Dear Parents,
An Immanuel School family has made a generous offer to
all of us. Gifts given to the Immanuel Lutheran School playground totaling
up to $5000 will be matched.
Our present climber is a small wooden piece made by a
group of volunteers twenty years ago. It has served its purpose. The
company that designed the old climber intended it for home use, but it was
reinforced and constructed for use at our school. Twenty years of daily use
is about as much as anyone could have expected for a wooden apparatus such
as that. It has even been cut from its original foundation and moved when
the parking lot was re-designed five years ago. It’s time for a new
climber.
We’ve surveyed the children and the teachers about what
they would like in a new playground design. Three companies took those
ideas and designed playgrounds that fit our requests. These three companies
have also used the same construction standards. The costs are in the
$30,000 range.
Memorial gifts, special donations, and fundraisers such
as the bowling night have already raised over $10,000. This gift offer
could get us the hardest third of the funding. We could even go beyond
$10,000 with this effort.
If you would be willing to give any gift to the
“Immanuel Lutheran School Playground,” before Labor Day, it would be matched
– up to a total of $5000. Your $50 gift, for example, would be a $100
gift. This is a Summer 2010 offer only.
This playground apparatus could serve your children and
your grandchildren. The new piece would be made of galvanized steel with a
microbial paint covering. Several local parks have this type of
playgrounds, and they last for generations.
An special envelope is available for your gift for the
playground. The anonymous donor family will not know who made the donation,
nor will the staff of Immanuel Lutheran School. The Immanuel counting
committee that deposits and records all donations to the church and school
will receive your donation and it will remain anonymous.
If you prefer that a special mention and publication of
a memorial or an honor gift be shared at the dedication of the new
playground, then please indicate that on the envelope.
Thank you for considering this opportunity. Thanks on
behalf of the children of this community, and for a generation of children
yet to come.
In Christ,
Michael Welton
