NEW APPLICATION

EXISTING APPLICATION

California schools are required to check immunization records for all new student admissions at TK/Kindergarten through 12th grade and all students advancing to 7th grade before entry. Parents must show their child’s Immunization record as proof of immunization.

Immunization Requirements

STUDENTS ENTERING KINDERGARTEN

STUDENTS ENTERING first grade

STUDENTS ENTERING seventh grade

NOTE:
ALL STUDENTS FROM OUT OF STATE MUST SHOW PROOF OF VARICELLA (CHICKENPOX) IMMUNIZATION.

age requirements

Please note the specific cut-off ages for TK and Kindergarten programs:

Transitional Kindergarten: Age 4 by September 1st and independently toilet trained.
Kindergarten: Age 5 by September 1st.

This is a clear definition and one that The Diocese Office of Catholic Schools strongly upholds. With children of such a young age, even a short window of time beyond can make a difference.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

It is of utmost importance that parents agree to actively support the spiritual, academic, volunteer, and fundraising programs of the school. It is also important that parents remember that their support of the school, especially regarding prompt payment of tuition and a willingness to volunteer, is a prerequisite to re-registration and a condition for continued presence in the school. The school may deny re-admission to any family delinquent in tuition or who has not met the volunteer hours requirement. In addition, failure to support the philosophy, objectives, and policies of the school may also result in non-admission. If volunteering and/or fundraising is not possible, an additional financial assessment will be added to the tuition.
