Our split level school was built in 1959 and remodeled in 1997.
It has two entrances. One is on the south, Jackson Street and
the west entrance is on Page Street. Our school includes an
office, 9 lower grade classrooms, 4 upper level classrooms,
a science lab and a computer lab. The school library is
currently housed in the church which is connected to the school.
Our new Early Childhood wing was completed in 1999. It houses
our Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade classes. It is
connected to our main building through the gym.
Our school playground was restored in 2000 and has been an
enjoyable addition for all our school children.
Early Childhood Wing

A tuition is charged for all pupils attending
Zion Lutheran School. Differentiation is made
for members of Zion congregation and for those
who are not members of the congregation.
Registration forms and information on payment
options is available from the school office.
Tuition and registration fees are paid
separately. Registration fees are to be paid
directly to the school at August registration.
A $50.00 deposit per child is now required in
the spring with the student's registration form.
(This is deducted from the registration fees
when they are paid in August.)

Bus riders who wish to be dropped off at a
place other than their normal drop-off must
bring a signed note from their parent to the
office and have it signed by Mr. Steltenpohl.
