Academic Excellence

 

The MLS middle school students participated in an academic competition this week at Lutheran High North. Our teachers have done a wonderful job teaching these young students. Several of our students received medals and ribbons in major academic subjects and in special events. It is very clear that they are learning here at Memorial Lutheran School. Earning top honors in Science, History, Math, Grammar, Literature, Bible and Latin is certainly impressive.

 

We are all very proud of our students' accomplishments and we are proud to have a dedicated faculty who teach these children every day.

Re-Enrollment for 2013-2014

 

  Re-enrollment information was sent to our MLS families this week via email through Renweb. If you did not get your email about online re-enrollment, please let the office know.  The email provided instructions on accessing your ParentsWeb account or how to set one up if you do not have one. 

 

We really like this feature of RenWeb. Enrolling online is efficient and it makes the office more efficient as well. All information will be automatically updated when you complete the re-enrollment packet.

 

We thank all families who already have completed their re-enrollment packet this week.  It is important to complete the process by March 1 to secure your child's space in the class. We have waiting families in many grade levels and acceptance letters will go out to those students the first week in March.

 

We look forward to having you back with us for the 2013-2014 school year.
