CURRICULUM All students receive instruction in the core subjects: Reading/Literature, Mathematics, Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science. In addition students attend classes in Religion, Music, Physical Education, Health, and Art. Text books and materials are chosen from those approved by the State of California Department of Education. Computer-based instruction is evident throughout the curriculum. Children become familiar with the proper use of computers, specifically the iPad and PC. The Religion curriculum provides an overview of the Bible and teaches of the love and salvation found in Jesus Christ. The principles of Christian faith are the foundation for all instruction. Trinity Lutheran School has established School-Wide Expectations and Procedures for acceptable behavior in all areas of the school. They include behavior guidelines for classrooms, walkways, restrooms, playground areas, lunch areas, assemblies, chapel and after school programs. These expectations are explicitly taught, supervised and reinforced, and consequences for infractions are enforced. Positive reinforcement strategies are integral to this discipline program. Trinity Lutheran School does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of educational policies, admission policies, financial policies, employment practices, or other school administered programs. Clothing needs to be appropriate for the school environment. The basic uniform consists of blue or khaki pants or skirts with a blue or white collared shirt. A Trinity Lutheran School logo shirt is to be worn on field trips and chapel days. On “free-dress” days, clothing should reflect what is considered in good taste. This means that it should be comfortable, neat and not offensive to others. The administrator reserves the right to rule certain clothing as inappropriate, such as faddish style of hair, clothing, jewelry or makeup. Students in grades 1 through 8 are tested in the spring using a nationally standardized test. Overall Trinity Lutheran School students score in the 60th percentile or higher. This means that students score better than 60% of the students taking the test. A Before and After School Program is available on school days, holidays, and some days when school is not in session. Please refer to the School Calendar for days when BASP is not available. The program includes homework assistance, arts and crafts, games and other experiences.
