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.

A Message from the Principal

Zion Lion Families...

Only 2 1⁄2 weeks left of the first quarter of our 2023-2024 school year! We have certainly had a fantastic first quarter here...it’s been incredibly busy, but the progress the students

have made in just a few short weeks has been astounding! By now, everyone is settling in well to their new classrooms, their new routines, and getting down to the business of learning. We anticipate a wonderful learning experience for all of our students.

October is always a fun month at school...we’ll be diving into all things Fall as we gear up to the busy holiday season and I can’t wait to see you all at our Trunk or Treat on

Sunday, October 15th! October is also Red Ribbon Month. Red Ribbon Week activities are organized each October by tens of thousands of schools, government agencies, and social service

organizations. The main purpose of Red Ribbon Week is to celebrate and promote positive choices and healthy, drug-free lifestyles for young people and adults in the United States. Our student council has coordinated a few things in recognition of Red Ribbon Week, which will be celebrated the last week of this month.

In addition to all of our regular school events and activities, we also have our school re-accreditation this year. Our visiting committee will be here this Spring, so we are working hard to prepare for our school accreditation with WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and NLSA (National Lutheran Schools Accreditation). Thank you to all who are serving on our focus groups!



Blessings on your week!

Mrs. Lyles

Parent Participation Hours

Your support is important to us. Families not choosing to participate in the 30 hours will be charged $10.00 for each non-served hour. Fees will be charged at the end of each semester. Eighth-grade parents will be charged at the end of the first semester and at the beginning of May. It is not the primary intent of this program to charge families with fees, but rather to see families involved in the programs and activities.

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!!
