The Glance

There is something special about seeing the Hilltop come back to life. The energy of our students filling the hallways, teachers welcoming children into their classrooms, and families reconnecting reminds us that St. Luke’s is much more than a school—it is a community built on relationships, shared experiences, and the promise that every child who walks through our doors will be known, loved, and challenged.

As we begin the 2026–27 school year, I am incredibly grateful for how far St. Luke’s has come and genuinely energized by where we are headed. There is a wonderful sense of momentum across our school, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead for our students, faculty, and community.

I look forward to sharing more with you at our State of the School Parent Coffee on Thursday, August 20, immediately following Chapel. We’ll celebrate the momentum we’ve built together, share some of the exciting work underway across our school, and look ahead to where we are going.

Whether this is your first year at St. Luke’s or you have been part of our community for many years, thank you for choosing St. Luke’s and for entrusting us with your children. It is a tremendous privilege to partner with you in their education and formation.

It’s going to be a great year on the Hilltop. I look forward to experiencing it together!

We're welcoming families for our Parent Partnership Meetings, starting today! These 10-minute conversations are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, ask questions, share insights, and begin building a strong partnership for the year ahead.

Meetings continue Monday and Tuesday, and we’d love to see you on the Hilltop! Thank you for making time to connect with your child’s teacher and partner with us in supporting their success.

Stay connected to all things St. Luke’s! Our St. Luke’s App is a user-friendly, one-stop resource for school news, calendars, grade-level and division groups, resources, and more—all in one place.

All parents are encouraged to register and download the app before Tiger Tracks so you’re ready to stay connected from day one. If you haven’t signed up yet, now is the time!

At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, learning and growth doesn't stop when the final bell rings.

We offer a well-rounded after-school program designed to support your family’s schedule and your child’s needs. Our three distinct options allow families to customize an experience that best suits their unique needs through:

Afterschool Care

Learning Lab

Reading Lab

Math Lab

Enrichment Classes

Whether your child needs time to unwind and play, focus on academics, or explore new interests, we have an option that fits. With supervision available from 7:30 a.m. (early care drop-off) to 6:00 p.m., families can count on St. Luke’s for a safe and enriching environment from morning to evening.

We’re excited to add Chess Wizards to our Fall Enrichment lineup. Whether your child is brand new to chess or already knows how to play, Chess Wizards makes learning chess fun, engaging, and exciting while helping students build problem-solving, strategy, focus, and critical-thinking skills.

Get ready to show your Tiger spirit and start your Fridays with a warm welcome! Throughout the year, students will have opportunities to participate in Spirit Days, when they can trade their regular uniform for a St. Luke’s T-shirt paired with jeans or uniform bottoms. On special event days, students may also wear the designated event T-shirt.

And dads, we’d love to see you at Door Dads! This is a fun and easy way to get involved in our school community while helping welcome students to campus on Friday's . Door Dads greet our Tigers during morning carpool from 7:30–8:00 a.m. in the North Loop on their designated Friday.

We are so excited to invite you to Grandparents and Special Friends Lunch at St. Luke's Episcopal School! This is a wonderful way to experience your student's day and see our vibrant school community firsthand.

To make sure everyone has a great time, please review these quick details:

• Sign-up required: Space is limited for each grade.
• Limit one visit: Please sign up only once per student this fall semester so every family gets a turn.
• No outside food: Due to severe food allergies, please do not bring outside food or drinks.

We look forward to sharing a wonderful lunch with you!

The Tiger Terrace, at the entrance of St. Luke's, is the home of our Legacy Bricks. This is a permanent way to recognize students for significant achievements and families who want to always be remembered at SLES. This lasting legacy can celebrate graduation, honor a loved one, pay tribute to a favorite teacher, colleague or a project / program that impacted your life!

All students planning to participate in middle school athletics (5th-8th) at St. Luke's must have a current, cleared sports physical on file before they are permitted to participate in any athletic activities.

Sports physicals help ensure students are medically cleared to safely participate in practices, training sessions, and competitions. Below, you will find the medical forms packet used by St. Luke's for athletic documentation. Please take these forms with you to your student's appointment and have the physician complete the required sections.

Please note that Page 3 (Medical History Form) must be completed and signed annually by both the parent/guardian and student. This page is required for athletic participation and must be submitted along with the physical examination pages.

Once completed, all forms should be uploaded directly to Magnus Health. Forms submitted to the Athletics Department cannot be accepted and must be reviewed and cleared through Magnus.

A sport physical must be turned in before your child may participate in practice.

Looking for the latest athletics news, team updates, schedules, registration information, camps, clinics, and more? Be sure to request to join your child's athletic team groups on the new St. Luke's app!

Mark your calendars for our fall Backpack Blessing on Sunday, August 16, at both our 9:00 am and 11:00 am services. All students and teachers are invited to bring their backpacks or work bags to church. We will offer a special blessing and prayer for a safe and wonderful new school year. Students can also pick up their new backpack tags for the school year that morning.
