OLL School Teachers and Staff Make Video for Students by Bev Caldwell Our Lady of the Lake School is striving to stay connected with our students and families. We cannot put into words how much we miss seeing all of the Falcon faces roaming the hallways. Mrs. Millett had the idea to have teachers send “miss you” notes and she compiled them into a “Miss You” video. The feedback has been nothing but positive from both the teachers and families. We miss our Falcon family!

St. John Nottingham Lutheran School exists to equip the children of the Greater Cleveland and surrounding area with integrity, creativity, academics, compassion, and spiritual maturity in a diverse, interconnected, and ever-changing world.

SJN Now Enrolling for Next School Year by David Peck “Nearly 13 decades ago, St. John Nottingham Lutheran Church established a school for the purposes of providing a distinctively Christian education to the children of the congregation. Every year since then, SJN has continued to offer this same Christ-centered education to all families in the greater Cleveland area seeking a better, faith-filled alternative.

What we offer is a strong foundation in the teachings of Christ alongside solid academics designed to give every child the tools nec- essary to excel, an environment in which every child is welcomed, safe, and provided the opportunity to learn. We feature small class sizes, highly qualified teachers, a responsive, accessible administra- tion and active participation of our Senior and Associate Pastors.

We HAVE an extended care ministry that operates from 7 AM before school until 6 PM after school, available on an as-needed basis. Additionally, we provide access to the state free and reduced lunch programs for those who qualify. There are no registration fees, and we are fully accredited to process and accept both the Cleveland (Voucher) and EdChoice Scholarships. Our school ministry runs Kindergarten (full-day) through 8th grade, with a departmentalized middle school, and athletics opportunities. Although we hope to have on-campus instruction for 2020-2021, we are prepared to provide online instruction dynamically if and when the need may arise, or a blended model of on-campus and online instruction, for however long it may be necessary
