Applications must be completed online. <insert link here> The completed application and the non-refundable application fee are required before applications can be considered.
Application Information
Applicants for grades 1-8 must also provide the most recent report card and test scores. Catholic students entering 1st grade must present an original copy of their baptismal certificate. All applicants in grades 1-8 will be tested for grade suitability.
There is no specific deadline. When a class is full and we do not expect to accept any more students, we will accept applications only for the waiting list. Depending on the circumstances, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten applications received after mid-February, will likely be placed on the waiting list.
Application Status When will we be notified about the status of our application(s) to other grades?
After students have been evaluated and tested by classroom teachers, applicants in grades 1st-8th will be notified of their status within two weeks of the test date.
What happens if I receive a letter of acceptance?
You will be given a deadline, approximately two weeks, to submit the appropriate fees to hold your child’s seat. These fees are non-refundable even if you change your mind and do not send your child to the school for any reason. If the office does not receive the fees to hold your child’s spot by the stated deadline, the seat may be offered to another applicant.
What if my child has been put on the waiting list?
Because of the number of applicants, some children may be wait listed. Certainly there will be many wonderful families and children put on the waiting list at least initially. Our experience has been that openings develop even up to the beginning of the school year. When that happens, we reconsider all the applicants on our waiting list. The waiting list is not ranked and we will choose the best applicant from those available. We do not know when those vacancies will occur or how many we may have during this process. We only know that we will have some changes and additions.
*Children who enroll in kindergarten must be 5 years old by September 1st. We also offer a transitional kindergarten (TK)program for children if they turn 5 years old between September 2 and February 2. In the upcoming 2023-24 school year, children are eligible for TK if they turn 5 years old between September 2 and April 2.
