Welcome to our website! Below is some information you may find useful:
Registration process:
The school begins the registration process for current students in early February. New students may begin registering March 8, 2010. Items needed for registration:
- Completion of registration packet (available at school office), with the registration fee of $300 (per family),
- Student’s most recent report card,
- Scheduling of visitation day.
Upon completion of the visitation day, the student will be enrolled for next year after a review of
academic records and assessment results. If the student is not accepted for enrollment, the registration fee
will be refunded.
Waiting Lists: The school has had waiting lists for several grades in each of
the last few years. Because of our preschool, we tend to fill
our Kindergarten classes first. With respect to preference given
on waiting lists, the following order is provided:
- Siblings of current students,
- Preschool students,
- Parishioner families.
Besides the above, new families are registered on a first-come, first-served basis beginning on March 9.
A family is not considered to be on the waiting list until the registration packet with the registration
fee is submitted to the school office.
School tours:
For those families interested in visiting our campus, tours are available
by contacting the school office at 747-1027.
Visitation Day:
All prospective students should plan on spending a day at the school, with the class they
would be enrolling if registering at our school. Prospective students should wear dress code clothing
(khaki or blue pants, white or navy polo) and bring a lunch and snack.
If during the summer, the student need only come to the school to be given an assessment of
academic level. This assessment usually takes about 90 minutes.
Tuition:
Individual student tuition rates for 2010/2011 have not been announced yet, but will probably only be a modest increase from the current rates for individual students of $3200 (parishioner rate) and $3815 (non-parishioner rate). Multiple child discounts are offered. Tuition can be paid annually, semi-annually, or in ten (10) monthly installments.
Financial Aid:
There is a limited amount of financial aid available for
incoming students, available through the Catholic Tuition
Support Organization. It is available on a first come, first
served basis, and is based upon financial need as determined by
a third party organization. Application forms are available in
the school office.
Parent Communications:
The school uses Renweb, an internet-based software that allows
parents to access their student’s academic records, homework,
announcement and bulletins from their personal computers at home
or at the office. Parents can also access the school’s Hot Lunch
Program’s menu to order student lunches on Renweb.
