Re-enrollment & Sibling Application
Beginning in November, current RLS families with students in good standing are invited to re-enroll for the following school year. RLS siblings are invited to apply at this time.
*If a student is not meeting basic benchmarks for their grade, re-enrollment may be denied.
Junior Kindergarten & Kindergarten Application
Resurrection will offers a full-day junior kindergarten for children turning 4 by August 31. A formal assessment is NOT required for junior kindergarten placement, however; we would request that your child’s current teacher (or parent if child is not in school) submit a reference form on their behalf. Additionally, we will arrange a “Meet the Teacher” prior to enrollment. Contact Admissions@rlscary.org to learn more!
Resurrection is accepting applications for full-day junior kindergarten (4 by August 31) and kindergarten (5 by August 31). Space is limited!
NEW Student APPLICATION PROCESS
Step One – In-Person Tour
Families are welcome to come in for an in-person tour that can be scheduled online here.
Step Two – Apply & Student Records
After the tour, families will be given the application process. Applicants provide current records of academic performance. These records should include a birth certificate, immunization records, report card or progress report and any achievement or standardized testing to include writing sample, IEP, 504, educational testing, and/or early intervention recommendations. All documents are required prior to student assessment.
Step Three – Academic Testing
Students will be assessed to make certain that they are meeting the academic benchmarks for their grade. Academic testing will be administered by the Admissions Director or classroom teacher.
Step Four – Student References
Applicants are required to submit emails for two academic references as part of the application process. Preschool directors or teachers may complete a reference for applicants entering junior kindergarten or kindergarten. School principals, directors or classroom teachers may submit a reference on behalf of applicants in Grades 1 – 8. Rising kindergarteners will be assessed for readiness by the classroom teacher.
Step Five – Student "Shadow Day"
Once the student file is complete and the application is reviewed, a classroom visit may be scheduled. The student will be expected to stay for the entire school day and participate in all classroom activities of the day. (Modifications may be made for summer admissions. Does not apply to junior kindergarten or kindergarten.)
Step Six – Pastoral Visit
RLS is an important mission of Resurrection Lutheran Church. In order to provide families with a personal connection to the church, we will provide an opportunity for you to meet with one of our pastors and/or a member of the ministry staff during the application process.
Step Seven – Application Review
Once the entire application process has been completed, each applicant will be reviewed individually. It is our desire to admit applicants who meet all of our requirements and share the philosophy of Resurrection Lutheran School. Notification of the decision will be sent by email to parents as soon as the review process has been completed. Parents will have two weeks to notify RLS of their decision to accept or decline admission.
Step Eight – Application Review Committee
If during the application process academic or social concerns are revealed, the application will come “under review”. (Any student with an IEP, 504, behavioral concerns or who is not meeting benchmarks for their grade in ALL subject areas will automatically go through the committee review process.) The committee will be responsible for reviewing the complete student file and will put forth a recommendation to the administration.
Accepting applications in all grades!
