Policies:

We admit all students as required by the terms of Title IX of the Education Act of 1972, Public Law 92-318 (as amended by Public Law 93-568). 

Currently-enrolled student registration is held in the winter of each year. Open registration of students is held following the completion of the School Administration reserves the right to limit the capacity of class size. Once a quota of 26 (K-8) is reached, students are placed on a waiting list. When it is necessary to limit registration, acceptance for those qualified will be as follows: 

1. Siblings of currently-enrolled students: Applications will be considered as space is available based on the family's parish registration date (with preference set by status in the parish versus non-parishioner status). 

2. In-Parish, determined by your parish registration date, not by time spent on waitlist 

3. Out-of-Parish students: Non-parishioners are prioritized by the date of application to the school. 

4. All other students 

Upon registering, families will need to submit the most recent report card and any other pertinent information. A shadow day is strongly recommended, if feasible. 

Students entering Kindergarten will be assessed by the kindergarten teacher.  New students are given an adjustment period to adapt to our educational programs, as well as our rules and regulations. Every new student is on a probationary period for the first quarter of the school year.  

Students with disabilities will be evaluated for admission on an individual basis. Admission will be based upon the student’s needs and the school’s ability to accommodate those needs. The final decision will be made by the Pastor and Principal. 

Acceptance of the concept of a Catholic education is the main criteria for admission.  All students are expected to participate in religion classes, liturgies, retreats, prayer services, service projects and any required service hours.

• Spiritual development
