Please take a moment (2:06) to view the St. Paul Parent Pulse Insight Summary video for the 2025-2026 school year. The information summarizes the feedback gathered from the second cycle of our Parent Pulse Surveys collected during the winter months of the 2025-2026 school year. The video covers two highlights, concerns for further consideration, and a summary of general satisfaction. St. Paul would like to thank all parents for taking the time to fill out the surveys. The window for completing the third survey is currently live through April 17, 2026.

St. Paul Lutheran School exceeded its goal of reading 54,000 minutes in the month of March. Students in grades preschool through 8th grade read a whopping 65,760 minutes (which is 1,096 hours) and we are celebrating with an Outdoorpalooza Celebration on Friday, April 17, 2026 from 8:15 am-11:00 am. A generous donation has allowed us to purchase fun outdoor activities for grades preschool through 8th grade, however, if families desire to loan lawn games for additional fun please send them in on Friday, April 17. More details to follow post Spring Break.

St. Paul Lutheran School was given a generous donation of $500.00 from the Gleaner Life Insurance Mid Michigan Arbor 789 on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. The money will be used to benefit the school community. We would like to thank President Matuszewski and his Arbor for their generosity.
