Greetings from your Principal
Welcome to the Emmaus Lutheran School website. This website is both for our current families and for our prospective families. Emmaus Lutheran School has existed since 1941, celebrating 79 years of quality education to the San Gabriel Valley community. With qualified teachers, a long-standing and well established academic program, a large and successful alumni, several programs to enhance and promote a well-rounded education, and a beautiful, six plus acre campus, Emmaus gives students a solid spiritual, academic and confident foundation that will help them become life-long learners and successful Christian adults in the 21st Century. Having two children myself, I understand the value of finding the right school for your child. I hope that you find that Emmaus Lutheran will exceed your every expectation. I would love to personally show you around our campus, and have an opportunity to tell you more about our programs. Emmaus Lutheran is large enough to allow students choices, but small enough to know our students and meet our students’ individual academic, social, physical and spiritual needs. Please call me to schedule an appointment or allow me to answer your questions. khittinger@emmausalhambra.org or 626) 289-3664 X105. We have translators available if needed.
Mrs. Kit Hittinger, Principal
COVID-19 Response
In response to our world situation, Emmaus Lutheran School continues to follow all state and local guidelines, particularly those of the Los Angeles County Department of Health. Student and staff safety is our number one concern, and we continue to teach our students in a full-day, remote program that meets the needs of the students’ academic requirements. We are currently awaiting approval to bring our Kindergarten through grade 2 students back on campus. A full safety and health conscious plan has been established so that all regulations are met for COVID-19 protection. Social distancing, handwashing, masks, temperature checks and desk shields are all currently being used to provide a safe environment for those families who choose to bring their students back to campus. We will continue to offer remote learning for those families who wish to have students learn from home, until the end of the pandemic. If interested, you may view our COVID-19 safety plans here:
PARENT GUIDELINES FOR REOPENING IN FALL 2020
Our prayer is that all will be able to return to schools safely, and that this pandemic end soon. We know that God has a plan for our world, and we believe His timing is perfect, so in the meantime, we serve him in unique, creative and different ways.
We are still happy to talk to you about placement for your child for this school year or for the 2021-2022 school year. We have availability for Kindergarten through grade 8 at this time. Our preschool is currently closed, but we anticipate the reopening of it as soon as possible. Please contact me if you are interested in either the day school or preschool experience.
Mrs. Hittinger
