The parents and guardians of incoming prospective kindergarten students are invited to the Emmanuel-Faith Lutheran School Kindergarten Round-Up. The Round-Up will be held on Tuesday, January 31st. We will be scheduling specific times for families to meet Mrs. Stutzman, our kindergarten teacher, in the classroom; you will also have an opportunity to talk with Mr. Wellmann, our principal, and tour the school.
To RSVP for the event, please contact the school office at 402-362-6575. We have time slots available from 3:30 to 6:30 pm, so sign up early to get your desired time. When you call, we will ask for:
- Parents’ Names
- A Contact Email
- Student’s Name
Once we have your contact email, we will send a video that includes Mr. Wellmann providing an overview of the school and information about the registration process and Mrs. Stutzman giving you information about the kindergarten curriculum and answering questions that many parents have about school procedures. We will send you the video link a few days before the Round-Up, so you can ask us any follow up questions during your visit or review the information later, when you aren’t experiencing “information overload.”
On the day of Kindergarten Round-Up, please park in the east parking lot (near the playground) and enter the east doors of the building, which are located under the large overhang. There will be a welcome table inside these doors where our staff will greet you, gather some information, provide an information packet for the parents, and give a special gift to our potential new students. There will also be basketball games happening at the same time, so there will be additional vehicles in the parking lot.
Even if you have already registered with another school system, you are still invited to attend our Round-Up.
In order for the kindergarteners to best interact with you at the school, we ask that you do not bring their younger siblings to the event. If this is not possible, please let the school know ahead of time.
Nebraska statute states that your child must be five years old on or before July 31, 2023, to be eligible for the 2023–2024 Kindergarten class. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the school office at (402) 362-6575.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
God’s Blessings,
Brad Wellmann, Principal
and
Ashley Stutzman, Kindergarten Teacher
