It is with great sadness in our hearts that we must announce that Grace Lutheran Preschool will have no more in-person school for the rest of the school year. We will continue our learning videos on our facebook page and on the Grace Lutheran youtube channel. Please share this information with classmates you contact that may not see this. We are in the process of planning a "last day of school" drive through in the school parking lot where families (safely socially distant in their vehicles) can pick up end of year items and say goodbye to their teachers and helpers. More info on that later. We will be sharing a free to you ABCMouse link on a separate facebook link. We hope you can use it for even more learning opportunities. For those of you that have expressed an interest in supporting the preschool we would be blessed to receive a monetary donation in order to compensate the continued expenses incurred by the school. Please contact the preschool office. We will refund families by the end of April (via check in the mail) who have paid their tuition in full for the 2019-2020 school year. If you would like to donate part of that sum, please notify the preschool office. (812)-941-1912. We will be missing you all! Please keep in touch by facebook, text or phone call. We will be keeping you all in our prayers.

Our before and after services are being underutilized and that has made it necessary to make some changes. If you know that you will need before or aftercare services you will need to fill out a calendar at the beginning of each month and pre-pay for each day contracted. If you are in need of these services, please pick up a calendar in the school office. Mark the days you need care and return with pre-payment. If you need care at the last minute, you will need to call the office and ensure that we have staff available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but there is no other way we can continue to have before and aftercare. Thank you for making these changes with us as we attempt to accommodate everyone's schedule.
