Principal's Weekly Letter

March 7th, 2025

In the Classroom

It was a busy four day week at week ELS…. 

The sounds of preparation for an upcoming band contest were heard throughout the campus.  Middle school students got to visit with local business owners and entrepreneurs from the community.  I saw younger students enjoying their reading groups with older classes.  We celebrated Ash Wednesday together, remembering the sacrifice that is made for us. I have been impressed with the growth I’ve heard this year.  We had a tremendous accreditation visit on Tuesday.  The visiting team provided some helpful information for our next visit.  They were also very complimentary of many of the things they saw at our school.  Thank you to the students and parents who were able to take some time to share with the team.  Thank you to our staff for welcoming them and showing them what it’s like to spend a day at Emmanuel Lutheran.  Lastly, basketball practices have started and games begin tomorrow!  One more week until Spring Break!

Re-Enroll ASAP for 2025-2026 School Year

We have sent numerous enrollment applications to new families these past few weeks.  Many classes have filled up for next year.  If you did not complete your enrollment but would still like to do so, please contact Mrs. Cambra.  If we do not hear from you and class fills up, you will be placed on the waitlist.  

SPACE AVAILABLE

Kindergarten Testing will take place on March 31st.  We still have testing spaces available for kindergarten.  Please share with families that may be interested in Kindergarten for next year.  While a number of our preschool families choose to attend ELS for kindergarten, we still need new families to fill our kindergarten class.  New families that list current families as a reference is so helpful to us!  

Chapel Offerings

One more week!  We will be sending over $4000 to the Pacific Southwest District.
