Zion’s School Mission: “Teaching Christ and Serving Families.” The school shares Christ by teaching students about Christ and changes lives by serving the school families.
Our vision is that all students will experience God’s love and forgiveness and learn to show that same forgiveness to others. Students will be safe, responsible, and respectful to themselves and others, and achieve academically to the best of their ability.

Zion Lutheran School Theme
"On Fire for Christ"
‘For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

A Message from the Principal |
|
Welcome back to a new school year. I pray that everyone is healthy, safe, and excited to be back at school!
Zion Lutheran School exists to show children the way to salvation through Jesus Christ, teach the will of God as revealed in the Bible, create an atmosphere for Christian fellowship and the development of Christian character, equip each student to become a more responsible Christian citizen, encourage students to develop individual and social Christian maturity, and provide opportunities for the child to develop skills necessary to share the Word of God with others.
Zion’s School mission is “Teaching Christ, Serving Families.” The school
shares Christ by teaching students about Christ and changing lives by
serving the school families.
Our vision is that all students will experience God’s love and forgiveness
and learn to show that same forgiveness to others. Students will be safe,
responsible, respect themselves and others, and achieve academically to
the best of their ability.
As we begin a new school year, we are eager to learn and grow together!
"On Fire for Christ"
2 Timothy 6-7
‘For this reason, I remind you to fan into
flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.’

Eighth-grade parents will be charged at the end of the first semester and at the beginning of May.

Dear Families,
We would like to thank all the families who participated in the Scrip program this past year. You benefited Zion as a whole and received a tuition rebate as well. (When you signed up for the rebate program.) We invite all families to purchase Scrip and enjoy the benefits.
Scrip means “substitute money” when you purchase Scrip you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. By purchasing Scrip you help benefit Zion Lutheran Church and Schools.
Receive Tuition Rebate! For every $100 in Scrip you purchase, Zion will hold $2.00 in your tuition account. On your child's May tuition bill we will subtract the amount in your Scrip rebate account from your bill. For example, if your May payment is normally $450.00 and you have accumulated $200.00 in SCRIP rebates, then your actual May payment will be $250.00. The rebate period runs from May 2023– April 2024.
This past school year one family earned $382.20, and another family earned 363.81.
To get started use the attached Scrip order form and start ordering Scrip today and accumulating your rebate. Just drop your order with payment attached in any tuition box located in the School office, SAC lobby, ECEC office, or Church office. Make checks payable to “Zion Scrip” and mark rebate designation, if no designation is marked then it will be applied to Zion's general fund. You may also purchase Scrip on Sunday mornings between church services. We also are participating in the Scrip Now program. Families will be able to purchase scrip themselves, online, attached is the flyer that explains this program, how it works, and Zion's enrollment code. Shop with Scrip now offers you to use a credit card to purchase your scrip.
Create the Scrip habit by purchasing Scrip weekly for gas and groceries. One of the great things about Scrip is that it does not cost you one penny more than you normally spend on regular purchases! Remember the Scrip program when making big purchases, like flooring, paint, furniture, appliances, and home repairs. You can also have your family, friends, and co-workers purchase Scrip. Use Scrip for birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas gifts.
Join the Scrip program today!
Thank you for your support!!
