PROCESS OF ACCEPTANCE

Admission of New Students [Diocesan Policy] From out-of-state

Children seeking admission to pre-k, kindergarten, or grade 1 and are under-age according to admission requirements
 may not be admitted to the respective grade unless
 • The student has moved from a state where the age requirement differs from that listed above.
 • The student has completed the respective grade in that out-of-state Catholic or accredited school.

ADMISSION OF NEW STUDENTS

Upon receipt of the records and results of a recent standardized test, the principal decides the acceptance and grade placement of the new student for a trial period of 4 to 6 weeks. Parents are informed of this arrangement. No later than the fourth week of the student's enrollment, the principal and the teacher discuss the progress of the student. If performance indicates that a change of grade would be beneficial for the student, the parents must be called in for a conference to explain the reasons for a grade change. A change of grade after six weeks is extraordinary.
 
 All students are put on a waiting list or probation until the academic records from the previous school have been requested and received by the principal. Academic records brought by the registering students are not acceptable. Copies of the original birth certificate issued by the Department of Health and the baptismal certificate must be seen. Notation is made on the school registration form and the certificate(s) are returned to the parent.

The principal is responsible to see that only students with proper credentials are admitted.
