Thank you for considering St. Andrew the Apostle Early Education Center and Catholic School to educate your child.  We hope to partner with you in the academic and spiritual formation of your child.  We follow the Diocesan, state and federal guidelines for admission of students.  We admit students of any sex, race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities accorded to any students of the school.  

PRESCHOOL REQUIREMENTS

• Completed application for St. Andrew the Apostle Early Childhood Center
• Up-to-date payments
• Meet state and federal law guidelines
• Current on all age-appropriate immunizations
• Self-sufficient when using the restroom.  All children who enroll must be fully potty trained.   

NOTE:  If you are thinking of sending your preschooler on to Kindergarten and want to come in as a nontuition family, you must be registered in the parish and have a recordable record of giving to the parish for at least one year.  Please do not come to registration and state that you give cash in the basket as we cannot count this and you will have to come in as a tuition family until a record can be established.

K-8TH REQUIREMENTS

• Students must be 5 years old before August 1 in order to be enrolled in kindergarten. 
• No student will be admitted if he/she owes money to another school and/or parish.
• All students must have a current immunization record and birth certificate.  If baptized, we need a baptismal certificate on file. The information must be on file before the student will be admitted to the classroom.
• It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to inform the school of any special needs (academic, medical, etc.) or accommodation required by their child.
• Students may be tested prior to placement.
• St. Andrew the Apostle reserves all placement rights relating to the grade level of the student. 

TUITION vs. SACRIFICIAL GIVING

• If you are a registered parishioner of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish with a recordable record of giving, you can join our school as a non-tuition family.  If you do not have a recordable record of giving, you will need to join as a tuition family.

• If you are new to St. Andrew the Apostle and have been registered at another parish and have a recordable record of giving to that parish, you can join our school as a non-tuition family.  All we need is a letter from your former parish stating that you supported your parish and were a member in good standing.  You will need to register in our parish and fill out a pledge card.  Father asks three things from our school families: 

a) You attend Mass each Sunday and every Holy Day of Obligation
b) You make a pledge to the parish and keep that pledge and
c) If you encounter a financial difficulty you notify us.

• If you have not been registered at another parish and/or do not have a recordable record of giving, you will have to come into the school as a tuition family and establish a record of giving to St. Andrew’s Parish.  To register in our parish, click here.
