Applicants are accepted on the basis of both the
student's and the family's sincere interest in St. Mary Catholic School, a
willingness to support and cooperate with school philosophy, and the ability
to develop and thrive in the academic and spiritual environment. As a child's
primary educator, parents are required to support their child's academic
efforts and be active participants in their child's moral and social
development at school. Parental encouragement and involvement are vital to the
child's success.
St. Mary Catholic School welcomes students of all
religions and ethnic origin. In the admission process, preference is given to
siblings of students presently enrolled in Kindergarten through 7th grades and
members of all Catholic parishes including families from out-of-town parishes.
Applicants are invited to visit the school and to
meet the principal and the other members of the staff and student body.
Previous academic records are reviewed, and parents are asked to provide as
much information as possible regarding their child's educational experiences,
needs, and interests. In order to understand the child's educational
background more clearly, the administration may contact the child's previous
teachers and/or principal. Every effort is made to meet the needs of children
of all learning styles and abilities. St. Mary Catholic School is limited in
its resources to provide individual programs or staff for exceptional
students. The principal makes final decisions for admissions.
The admissions process includes registration
forms, payment of registration and book fees, and arrangement for the payment
of tuition.
