acceptance/enrollment policy

ENROLLMENT PRIORTY POLICY
Saint Peter's School is a parochial school supported by the people of Saint Peter's Parish.  It primarily serves the children of parishioners, within the capacity and resources available to the school. Therefore, we must give first preference and consideration to our in-house families and parishioners, based on timely registration. The order in which children will be considered for admission is as follows: 
Children who have siblings currently enrolled in Saint Peter's School and who are current with all financial obligations. If the number of parishioner sibling applicants exceeds the number of spaces available, consideration for acceptance will be based on all three of the following conditions:

1. Length of time parents/guardians have been registered in Saint Peter's Parish.
2. Amount of talent invested by a family through involvement in parish activities.
3. Regular identifiable contributions of treasure to support Saint Peter's Parish.

Children of registered members of Saint Peter's Parish. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces available, consideration for acceptance will be based on the conditions of time, talent, and treasure as stated in #1 above.
Catholic children of families registered in other parishes without a parochial school. Non-Catholic students whose parents desire a Catholic education for them.                        * Saint Peter's School maintains a racially non-discriminatory policy.
Enrollment in Saint Peter's School will then be based on:

1. Space availability
2. Age of child
3. Successful completion of admissions screening
4. Review of current and previous academic records 

•  We ask the families of students who have special educational needs to consult with us about those needs in order to be certain that our school can adequately serve them. .

*Saint Peter’s School does not discriminate on the basis of sex, creed, color, or national origin.
