Students in good standing from another school will be considered for transfer admission after the following has been accomplished:

  1. Inquiry/Application forms are completed.

  2. A conference with the principal, parents and student has been held to discuss the goals, religious mission and expectations of the School Ministry.

  3. If requested, the parents have provided a written statement indicating their reasons for seeking enrollment for their child in the School Ministry.

  4. Previous educational records have been supplied to the School Ministry including, if available and applicable: current grade transcript or report card, most recent standardized testing results, Individualized Education Plan (IEP), Service Plan, Section 504 Plan or Individual Catholic Education Plan (ICEP).

  5. If appropriate records are not available or if there are other educational concerns, the principal may require entrance testing of the child and direct consultation with the previous school to determine appropriate educational placement before admission is granted.

  6. Updated immunization records have been received.

  7. Applicants for admission to grades 6, 7 and 8 are generally more closely reviewed than applicants for lower grades. Educational preparation and disciplinary records are essential for the transfer students’ overall success.

NOTE: Catholic schools support the disciplinary decisions of other schools. Therefore, a student expelled from another parochial, private or public school may not be considered for enrollment until one year after the expulsion date, or a formal assessment has been completed that indicates the student will be successful, and then only at the discretion of the Principal in consultation with the Pastor.

The student may be admitted either on a probationary basis or without restriction under the following conditions: if the Principal determines through the above procedures that the family and student have philosophies, goals and levels of preparation compatible with the religious mission and educational programs offered by the School Ministry, the student is likely to be successful in a Catholic educational setting, and an opening exists. Prioritization of placement of transfer applicants will occur in the same order and by the same criteria as defined in the Enrollment Prioritization structure defined above.
