First Time Enrollment Priorities

Active Parish Families
Families must meet criteria for active parish families as defined by the Parish Pastoral Council and published in the Sunday bulletin. The date of parish registration and stewardship activity will normally determine the order of admission.

1. Children entering Kindergarten who are the oldest child or have a sibling presently enrolled in (or graduate of) St. Patrick School.
2. Children presently participating in the CCD/RE program.
3. Children of newly registered families who were enrolled in a Catholic school at their former address or participated in a religious education program.
4. Children enrolled in another school, but not enrolled in CCD/RE.

Non-Parish Families

1. Children of a faculty member in the Catholic School System.
2. Children with a sibling enrolled in (or graduate of) St. Patrick School.
3. Children of a Catholic family.
4. Other children at the discretion of the Principal and the Pastor.

RE-ENROLLMENT
Students maintain first priority for annual re-enrollment if all parish commitments are met and all fees are paid.

APPEALS RESOLUTION
The Pastor and the Principal are the only individuals authorized to resolve admission appeals or make exceptions to the normal priority status. Exception will only be made when:

1. Adherence is judged inadequate or unjust
2. Said exception will further minority enrollment.

St .Patrick School does not charge tuition for children of active parish families.
