IV. ENROLLMENT The Pastor and Principal determine admission policies in consultation with the School Commission. The Principal determines admission and appropriate placement of the students according to the child’s individual needs in relation to the programs of the school. Interested parents must have an introductory meeting with the principal prior to registration. St. Mary School exists primarily to serve those parish families who opt to provide a Catholic education for their children. Students learn and grow in a purposeful Christian atmosphere with special emphasis on parent support and participation. Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy St. Mary School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. General Regulations On a space available basis, students will be enrolled in the following order of priority: parishioners with siblings already/previously enrolled. parishioners not previously enrolled. non-parishioners (Catholic) with siblings already/previously enrolled. non-parishioners (Catholic) not previously enrolled. non-parishioners (of other faiths) not previously enrolled. A child entering Pre-3 must be 3 on or before August 31. A child entering Pre-K must be 4 on or before August 31. A child entering Kindergarten must be 5 on or before August 31. A child entering 1st grade must be 6 on or before August 31. In order to assure that the school programs are the best placement for a child and to assist teachers in meeting the needs of each child, the school reserves the right to evaluate students prior to admission. This may include written/oral testing and/or examination of records from previous schools. Students may be admitted on a probationary status due to learning and/or behavioral concerns. Probationary contracts will be in writing and will be signed by a school representative (ordinarily the Principal) and the parent/legal guardian. Exceptions to the above regulations may be considered after consultation with the Principal and the teacher.
