ADMISSION POLICY

St. Augustine School is a Catholic elementary school providing a quality Catholic education to children of families who are registered members of St. Augustine Church.  Non-parishioners will be considered for admission as space permits.  St. Augustine School does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, creed, or ethnic background.  Admission and re-admission to St. Augustine School are on an annual school year basis.

Students will be considered for admission to St. Augustine School according to the following priorities:

1.         Active parishioners.
2.         Non-active parishioners.
3.         Active non-parishioners who are registered at other Catholic parishes that do not have a school connected with the parish.
4.         With the permission of their pastor, non-parishioners who are registered at other Catholic parishes that operate an elementary school.
5.         Non-parishioners of other faith traditions who desire a Catholic education.

Normal admission begins with kindergarten.  Students may be accepted into other grades as space permits with priority given to parishioners and those children transferring from another Catholic school due to relocation.  New students entering the school at times other than kindergarten or due to a transfer from another Catholic school may be accepted on a probationary basis and if so will be asked to have a letter of reference from the pastor/administrator of the school they are currently attending. 

Final acceptance of newly-enrolled students transferring from another school is dependent upon receipt, review and approval of records.

Continued attendance at St. Augustine School is dependent upon support of the school and parish mission, adherence to school and parish policies, and prompt payment of tuition and fees.
