- Cans of Pork and Beans
- Canned Pasta (Ravioli, Spaghetti and Meatballs, etc.)
- Boxes of Macaroni and Cheese
- Straight Noodle Pasta
- Jars or Cans of Spaghetti Sauce

You may donate whatever you like. If there is an abundance of some items, we will put out a notice before the next month.
TUITION PAYMEMTSThis is just a reminder that tuition payments are due by the fifteenth of each month. If a monthly payment is not received by the first day of the following month, a $25.00 late fee will be assessed. For your convenience, you may bring it to the office, use the drop box outside the school office doors, or mail it to St. John Lutheran School Attn. Cindy, 509 South Mattis Ave. Champaign, IL 61821.

ARRIVING LATE TO SCHOOLIf your child arrives late to school for any reason, please sign him or her in at the office. Your child will obtain an admittance slip to give to his or her teacher.

If your child has to take prescription medication, we need parental consent and doctor’s authorization. Please bring the prescription medicine in the original container to be stored in the office.
