BUS SERVICE

Morning Routes
  • The first ride on Wednesday morning will be complimentary. A bus pass will be required beginning Wednesday afternoon.
  • A ten-ride pass may be purchased in the office or online for $42.50. The student then brings this card to be punched for each ride. If a card is forgotten or has not been purchased, the ride will be charged to the family account.
  • The pickup/dropoff point will be in the parking lot at Pilgrim (Mesa) and at Emmanuel (Tempe).
  • The pickup point for Grace (Glendale) will be in the parking lot to the south of church at Palmaire and 56th Avenue while the dropoff will be in the school parking lot off Myrtle.
Afternoon Routes
  • A pass will be needed starting August 12.
  • Students simply go to the bus departure point right after school. Buses depart at 3:10pm.
  • Time of arrival at the dropoff is traffic dependent.
  • The north route will go only to Grace at this point (please let me know immediately if a need to go to Emmaus exists).
  • The east route will stop first at Emmanuel and then go on to Pilgrim if riders need that leg.

OPENING SERVICE

Join us for Opening Service on Wednesday, August 12 at 9:10am in the gym. 

We begin our 49th school year with the theme, Courageous in Christ, based on 1 Corinthians 16:13: "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong." New International Version





GIFTS FOR NEW STAFF — WILLING TO DONATE?

Volunteering is one of the best ways to connect with others at AZ Lutheran! With that in mind, all parents are encouraged to volunteer in 1 or 2 ways each season. (Nope, it's not required, but it's good for your Coyote health!) Volunteering is a great way to meet people, and we can't wait to see you on campus!

  • 1st: Check out the opportunities to give a gift to our 2 new staff members on the first day.
  • 2nd: We have a plethora of volunteer activities ... pick one!
