ST. CATHERINE LABOURÉ SCHOOL GENERAL ADMISSION POLICY

All incoming students for grades 2-8 are academically tested and will, upon satisfactory performance, be admitted as follows:

1. Students whose families are registered and active parishioners in St. Catherine Labouré parish will have preference.
2. If room is available, transferring Catholic School students whose families register in the parish and become active will be accepted.
3. If room is available, other students who live within parish boundaries and who by their behavior and attitude demonstrate an acceptance of the St. Catherine Labouré School philosophy will be admitted.
4. If room is available, other students who live outside of parish boundaries and who by their behavior and attitude demonstrate an acceptance of the St. Catherine Labouré School philosophy will be admitted.

Transferring students must have average grades or above in academic subjects as well as conduct and effort grades (A-C). Baptismal certificates, the child's current report card and copies of standardized test results (when available) must be presented before a student will be tested.

Parents are asked to agree to actively support the spiritual, academic and disciplinary standards of St. Catherine Labouré School.  Final approval of the principal is necessary before admission. All new students are placed on academic and conduct probation for at least one term during which time school staff, student and parents will work towards a successful adjustment to St. Catherine's school life and standards.

ADMISSION TO KINDERGARTEN, FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GRADES

Admission to kindergarten, first, second and third grades will be determined by two factors along with those outlined under "General Admission Policy." The applicant student should be five years of age for kindergarten, six years of age for first grade, seven years of age for second grade and eight years of age for third grade before September 1st of the academic year for which they are seeking admission. For kindergarten and first grade, the applicant must demonstrate age-appropriate developmental maturity as determined by data compiled as a result of school readiness screening.

RE-ADMISSION POLICY

Re-registration/Re-Admission of students currently enrolled is based on grades, conduct, parental support of St. Catherine Labouré School philosophy, academic and disciplinary policies, financial responsibility, and approval by the principal.
