>> Welcome to St. Vincent de Paul School - Admission Policies

   

ADMISSION POLICY
 

St. Vincent de Paul School admits students of any race, color, sex, and creed, national or ethnic origin.  All students are encouraged to participate in the Catholic educational experience and to be nurtured to reach their potential.  If we accept a child with disabilities, reasonable accommodations will be made for that student at St. Vincent de Paul School.   

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

  1. Birth and baptismal certificates, immunization records, custody papers (where applicable) and a registration fee must be presented at registration.
     

  2. Kindergartners must be 5 and first graders must be 6 by September 30th, and must undergo the Early Prevention of School Failure screening at a date to be assigned at Registration.
     

  3. Registration is taken in the spring and is based on the aforementioned requirements.  Registration does not automatically mean acceptance.
     

  4. Previous discipline problems that have not been resolved shall be a determinant for re-admittance to school.
     

  5. Eighth grade students are generally not admitted without good reason.  The principal may meet with the family to determine eligibility and appropriateness of admission.
     

  6. In cases of divorce and/or custody situations, appropriate court documents are to be on file in the school office.  (Please refer to page 6 of the handbook for more specific information)
     

  7. All students registered in the school are required to attend Mass or other religious services held for St. Vincent de Paul students, as well as participate in the daily Religion classes and/or sacramental preparations.
     

  8. Students Admitted From Other Schools

    • Registration is not complete until we have seen and reviewed the records from the other school.
    • All new students are placed on probation for one year, covering both academics and behavior.
       
  9. Students who have been withdrawn from St. Vincent de Paul School may not be re-admitted except in cases of moving out of the city or state and then returning to the area

   If there are more applicants than openings, preference will be given to those with brothers/sisters in the school, those who have a longer history in the parish and those who meet all the basic requirements.

   Admission is granted on a yearly basis.  The school reserves the right to terminate the contract.  Admission to St. Vincent de Paul School and continued enrollment therein, is contingent upon adherence to policies contained in this handbook.  If parents choose to disregard policies/procedures stated in the Parent-Student Handbook, they will be asked to withdraw their children from St. Vincent de Paul School and find an environment that more closely reflects their philosophy.

 

REGISTRATION FEES
 

There is a $40.00 registration fee for each child.  This fee covers religion texts, workbooks, textbooks, paper supplies, and classroom supplies.  Registration fees are non-refundable.  When registering for the next school year, the registration fee for the first or only child must be paid with the family registration by March 1st.  Registration fees for the other children in the family must be paid by June 1st.  If all Registration fees are not paid by that date, Report Cards will be withheld.  In addition, parents run the risk of being placed on a waiting list for the next school year.

   All prior year's tuition and fees must be resolved before entering school in August or graduating in June.  All tuition and fees must be kept current for report cards to be received and transcripts to be issued.
