ADMISSIONS

Saint Joseph School welcomes all children to the school who desire to obtain a Catholic school education and whose needs the school can meet. To determine if the child and the school are a “good match”, the following procedures are helpful; a visit to the school, and appointment with the principal and undertaking a screening process, if necessary.

Kindergarten Screening

Prior to acceptance into the Saint Joseph Kindergarten program, each child in screened. This screening evaluates a child’s basic readiness for Kindergarten, his/her speech and language patterns, and basic health. The screening process is a tool used for parents/guardians and the school to determine the child’s readiness for kindergarten.

Kindergarten Admission Policy

Admission to available spaces in the Kindergarten at Saint Joseph School will be determined based on the following criteria:

• Children of practicing parishioners have first priority to available spaces.
• Practicing parishioners’ children with siblings currently attending St. Joseph School have first priority.
• Practicing parishioners’ children that attend our Pre-K program have next priority.
• Practicing parishioners’ children have next priority.
• If space permits, we welcome children whose families are practicing parishioners at other Catholic parishes.
• If space permits, we welcome children whose families are not affiliated with any Catholic parish.

Final determination of admission is at the Principal’s discretion.
