ADMISSION POLICY

An application, fees, and necessary documents are due to the school office.  All students, Kindergarten through 8th Grade, applying for admission to the school are required to take an entrance test.  The principal reviews the results of the tests and the documents.  No application is considered unless/until all required documents have been submitted and the entrance test has been taken.  Parents are notified by letter and/or telephone as to the acceptance or denial of their child's application.  It is recommended that applicants to Kindergarten be five years of age by October 1st.  Students entering 1st Grade must be six years of age by October 1st.

Enrollment/Registration:   Once a child has been accepted into Mary Star of the Sea Elementary School, parents must pay the fees, return the registration form, the fundraising and Christian Service agreement, and the SMART Financial Management form.  Failure to return any form does not excuse parents from their obligations.  A child's enrollment status may be revoked if all documents are not submitted to the school.  All new students to the school are placed on probation for the first year.

Enrollment/Re-registration:  In the spring, parents receive an application to re-register their child/ren for the new school year.  The form and registration fees must be returned to the office by the deadline date.  A child's place is not given consideration unless/until the required forms and fees have been returned to the main office.  Final acceptance of a child's acceptance to register for the new school year depends upon the following -

• Students - supporting the philosophy, policies, and regulations of the school, achieving satisfactory grades in academics, conduct and effort per subject for each trimester report card.
  
• Parents - supporting the philosophy, policies, and regulations of the school, abiding by the parent agreement, meeting their financial obligations, and fulfilling the Fundraising and Christian Service Agreement.
  

If one or more of the above criteria are not met, the child/ren's registration may be denied.  In the event that an application is denied, the registration fee will be refunded.  The principal makes the final decision regarding a student's enrollment status.

Once an application has been accepted, fees are non-refundable.  The only exceptions made will be for transfers of families in the Armed Forces.
