Immanuel Lutheran
School
Our mission is to prepare students for life here and in eternity.
Our Vision Statement “Eternal Salvation, through faith in Jesus Christ, is God’s goal for all people”
ABOUT
We prepare pre-school through eighth-grade students for life here through our excellent, high-quality education.
This can be seen in our consistently high standardized test results. Accredited through the National Lutheran School Accreditation, and State Recognized, we have met rigorous standards and continue to achieve our goals of constant improvement. Biblical principles are taught, caught, and reinforced daily to nurture our students in their faith and in their relationships. Preparing students for eternity is a big part of the Immanuel experience. Integration of the faith in all subjects, having weekly worship services, daily devotions and Bible study set this school apart from secular education. The small class sizes lend themselves to a family atmosphere and close community experience. Even as the name of our school implies, God is with us.

ENROLLMENT
Registration occurs before the end of the school year allowing Immanuel to know how many students we will have for the next school year. This allows us to purchase materials and books at a lower price, we will also hold another registration and open house before the start of the new school year. Students may enroll at any time, but it is preferred to enroll during formal registration times. Registration will be advertised in the Washington County News, on our Facebook page and in the church bulletin and newsletter.

PARENT TEACHER LEAGUE
Immanuel's Parent-Teacher League (PTL) was formed in 1962 with the theme of promoting a One-ness in Christ. This policy was stated as follows:
A One-ness in Christ in our children! All children of Immanuel Lutheran School daily experience the love and forgiveness that God has given to them through the Savior Jesus Christ. Promote that One-ness with Christ by discussing the school day with your children and by having family devotions to highlight their learning day.
A One-ness in Christ in our parents! All parents of Immanuel Lutheran School have a One-ness in Christ through the fact that they are using our educational facility for the purpose of helping their children learn about God's plan of salvation. This One-ness can be promoted by including all parents in activities through the PTL. You must be there to help promote the One-ness throughout the year.
A One-ness in Christ is our faculty! Obviously, the members of our faculty have dedicated themselves to the purpose of giving your children a better understanding of their Savior. Let us keep this purpose in mind as we struggle with the everyday problems of training up our children in the way they should go. Keep Christ in sight as the ultimate goal for all of our efforts.
The PTL goals are to help parents and school staff work together in the Christian training of the children. To this end, the PTL has presented topics at meetings dealing with how children learn not only from teachers, but also from everyone else around them, how children's minds develop between kindergarten and the eighth grade, and how parents and teachers must keep children from getting involved with drugs and alcohol.
Many different fundraisers are held during the years, including the PTL Breakfast in March and the Kabob Stand at the Wheat Festival.
