St. Pius X School Application and Admissions Policy The Open Enrollment period, in which new families can apply for admission into the school, begins on January 1 and extends to March 31. During this time, applications will be accepted for children entering grades 1-8 in the fall of the upcoming school year and for students entering kindergarten in the fall of the following school year (in order to be granted admission into kindergarten, students must be five years of age prior to August 1 of the year they are entering the school). For example, during the Open Enrollment period constituting January 1-March 31, 2008, students entering 1-8th grade in August 2008 and students entering kindergarten in August 2009 are invited to apply. Families of students in grades 1-8 are notified of their acceptance into the school or status on the waiting list in the early spring. Admissions and waiting list notifications for families of kindergarten students are distributed no later than one year prior to the first day of school. Families are invited to apply after the Open Enrollment period, however the child's admission status will be based on whether open positions are still available. Applications can be picked up in the school office or found online at www.spxparish.org (click on "SPX School"). Completed applications should be sent to the school office (Attn: School Enrollment) and include the per child application fee. Receipt of the application fee ensures that the application will be processed, however this cannot guarantee that every child will be accepted to the school. Once a child has been accepted to the school, a registration packet will be sent out which contains tuition payment information, a list of pertinent school policies and procedures and forms to be completed. As is often the case, more students apply to the school than we can accommodate. In such cases, the school develops an ordered waiting list to draw upon should an opening become available. Children of current families with active parishioner status at St. Pius X are given first priority for admission (to be considered an active parishioner at the school, a family must have completed and returned a current stewardship pledge card to the parish office). The number of children seeking admission and the date the family registered in the parish are further considerations in cases where multiple children of active parishioners are applying for a select number of openings. The children of non-parishioners will be accepted to the school when both of the following conditions are met: 1) there are available positions in the respective grade and 2) no children of active parishioners reside on the waiting list at the time the application is received. The pastor and principal are given the discretion to make determinations regarding which students will be admitted into the school. No student applying to the school will be discriminated against on the basis of race, gender or national origin. |
