ADMISSION POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND REGISTRATION
Non - Discrimination Policy
St. Joseph School in the Diocese of Orange, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students of any race, color, and national and / or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

St. Joseph School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, and national and / or ethnic origin in administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Likewise St. Joseph School does not discriminate against any applicant for employment on the basis of sex, handicap, race, color and national and / or ethnic origin.

Admission Policies

Priority is to be given to children of registered members of St. Joseph Parish. ("Member" denotes a person who participates regularly in the Sunday liturgies and life of the parish, and who contributes both personally and financially to the parish.)

Children of families with siblings already attending
St. Joseph School would be given next priority, followed by families who are active members of a Catholic parish other than St. Joseph and then families who are not members of any Catholic parish.

All students applying for admission will be screened for readiness prior to admission. The results of the screening will help determine acceptance and placement.

Kindergarten students are to be 5 years of age before September 1st of the year they begin Kindergarten.

Any requirements for special needs to assist the student's learning will be discussed and reviewed to determine whether
St. Joseph School has the facilities and expertise to provide the needed special assistance.

Students transferring from another school must produce the previous year's report card and a letter of recommendation from their pastor, principal, or teacher, if asked to do so. Students transferring from another school must be in good academic standing and have good marks in conduct to be considered for admission. Where there is a question, students may be admitted on a probationary basis with dates and criteria of evaluation clearly established in writing. Parents/guardians are to be aware of the terms of the probation.

At the time of the student screening a brief interview with the prospective parent or guardian will be conducted.

In order to facilitate academic achievement, proper grade level placement is important. No student shall be placed at another grade level without parent, teacher, and administration being in agreement. Admission may be denied if consensus cannot be reached.

To ensure proper placement, all grade level placements for new students at
St. Joseph School are probationary for a period of six weeks

Other Requirements
Parents agree to actively support the spiritual and academic standards of the school.
Parents agree to support all regulations and policies of the school.
Parents agree to make tuition and any other payments owed the school on time, complete the required service hours, and participate in the scrip program and other necessary fund raisers.
Prior to entering Kindergarten or 1st grade, students need to have a physical examination. Record of this will be kept on file in the school office.
All forms received at registration must be completed and signed before admission is final. (This includes: immunization and health records; Sacramental certificates; latest report cards.)

Registration
Registration for the following school year is sent out to our current families in the spring. Enrollment forms and the non-refundable registration fee are to be returned by the designed date to ensure your student a place for next year.

Kindergarten and new student registration begins in the spring. After the class reaches capacity (32 students), applicants will be placed on a waiting list.

Screening for kindergarten and new student applicants takes place in March, but can be done earlier upon request.

Written notification of acceptance or non-acceptance and placement will be sent out within two weeks of screening. (The non-refundable registration fee must be paid at this time.)

The annual registration day for
St. Joseph School takes place in July. At this time, all forms pertaining to the school year are to be completed and turned in along with payment of the remainder of the school fees. (A complete packet of these forms and financial agreement will be mailed to each family in July prior to the registration day.)

All forms and payment of all fees must be completed and recorded in the school office before admission.
