About CLS

Welcome to Christ Lutheran School! Here you will find small class sizes with lots of one-on-one attention, and summer programming. We look forward to meeting you and your students!

Christ Lutheran School Building

Morning Arrival

The 8:10am bell tells Early In to clean up. The bell at 8:15am is for letting everyone down the hallway to their classroom. The next bell at 8:25am is a 5 minute warning bell for school to begin. The last bell rings at 8:30am, after which students will be marked as tardy.

Chapel

We gather for chapel on Wednesday mornings at 8:30am. This is our time to worship together, and our chapels are led by pastors of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. Guests are always welcome to join the students during chapel!

Communication

Parents have the option to receive the Eagle’s Nest, sports and booster events, lunch and Early-In-Late-Out billing, and more by email or the Big Brown Envelope (BBE). The BBEs are distributed each Tuesday and are to be returned each week empty. Community fliers are available in the annex.

Board of Directors

The school is governed by a board of directors that consist of parents, community members and a pastoral advisor. The monthly meeting times are noted in the school calendar. If you want to communicate with the Board of Directors, you may notify the school administrator, and she/he will bring it to the board in open forum that occurs at the beginning of each meeting.

Boosters

The Boosters organization is our parent organization whose sole purpose is to help keep tuition costs down. Boosters helps to promote fellowship and school spirit throughout the community. Booster bylaws are available by clicking the More Information button below.

CLS Thrift Shop

CLS Thrift Shop is located at 607 First Ave. , Rock Falls. Christ Lutheran School operates a donation thrift shop that raises over $75,000 a year for the school.
