Dear Parent/Guardian,

It is the policy of St. Mary School that all Catholic children have a right to attend St. Mary School regardless of the religion of the parents, or the race or national origin of the child. It is further the policy of St. Mary that children be admitted to the school on the space available basis according to the following priorities:

1. Children of Catholic Parishioners

2. Children of Catholic non-Parishioners

3. Children of non-Catholics

          a. whose families already have children enrolled
          b. who are just now reaching school age
          c. who have attended another school

The registration for the 2008 - 09 school year will be as follows:

February - Students of families presently attending St. Mary School, including siblings  new to Kindergarten.

March - New students, all grades, parishioners

April - New students, all grades, non-parishioners

Waiting lists are also established using the above criteria.

No student will be allowed to enroll if any prior tuition remains unpaid.

Physical and dental forms will be given to all current fourth grade students. All Kindergarten families will receive forms after registration. Please return these forms to the school office by/during final registration in August. No student will be allowed to begin the 2008 - 09 school year unless all physicals and immunizations are up to date.

The non-refundable registration fee is $75.00 per family.  This fee is due with the registration form in order to hold a space for your child. There will be a $50.00 late fee for any registration fee paid after
June 1.

I hope that all procedures are clear to everyone. In the event a problem arises, please feel free to call the school.

                                                                             Sincerely,

                                                                             Mr. John J. Prevost

                                                                              Principal
