CREDO

St. Stephen Lutheran Church and School exist as an extension of the home and church in response to God's command to educate His children."

ACCREDITATION

The National Lutheran School Accreditation Commission has certified that St. Stephen Lutheran School is accredited from 1 September 1999, through 31 August 2006.

Principal James Braun and the Southern Wisconsin District Superintendent display the Certificate of Accreditation presented to St. Stephen Lutheran School during the 135^th Anniversary Sunday Outdoor Worship Service on September 12,1999.

CURRICULUM In addition to the usual subjects in the elementary school the Christian religion is taught. It is taught as more than just a subject but as a way of life spreading through the total curriculum. As the child goes through our school, he/she learns more of the chief doctrines of the Missouri Synod. In order to make religion become a part of him/her, the child learns from memory the chief doctrines of the Bible, prayers, Bible verses, hymns, and the six chief parts. In some of the secular subjects, workbooks are used along with the texts. Science labs are used in the primary grades. In addition to religion, the subjects are: reading, language arts, social studies, science, health, mathematics, spelling, Spanish, physical education, art, and music. Computers and educational television are available to all grades. All subjects are taught with a Christian approach and given a Christian interpretation. We have a 3 year old pre-school, 4 year old preschool, all day Kindergarten through eighth grade, hot lunch program and a full athletic program.

TESTING PROGRAM In addition to tests in the classroom the students are tested by nationally standardized achievement and cognitive ability tests. A state mandated reading test is given to all third grade students.

LIBRARY Grades K-3 have their own classroom libraries, but use the Kruel Library for Accelerated Reader books. Grades 4-8 use the Kruel Library.

FIELD TRIPS Field trips are considered part of the curriculum of the school because they contribute directly to the teaching of the child. Children are prepared for field trips in advance and parents are informed.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical Education is part of the curriculum for all children in Pr-School through 8th grade.

SPORTS Various extramural sports are available for both boys and girls. There is only one fee regardless of the number of sports a student is participating in and will be assessed in grades 5-8 for any student in any extramural sport and cheerleading. Our extramural sports program relies heavily on volunteer coaches, referees, timers, scorekeepers, drivers, etc. As your talents permit, please volunteer your services to the athletic director. 2000 A-Volleyball Team 2000 B-Volleyball Team 2000 A-Soccer Team 2000 B-Soccer Team
