ENROLLMENT

The basic purpose of Catholic schools is to assure that Catholic truths and values are fully integrated with the students’ life and academic program. Students should not apply unless they desire and intend to participate as fully as possible in the religious program of the school.

NON-DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT

St. Rose School recruits and admits student of any race, color, gender or ethnicity to all its rights, privileges, programs, and activities. In addition the school will not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, English proficiency or disability in the administration of its educational programs and extra curricular activities. Furthermore, the school is not intended to be an alternative to court or administrative agency ordered, or public school initiated desegregation. The school is open to students of families who sincerely seek the religious nature of our program. While preference is given to parish members, others are welcome as space allows. New admissions are subject to the approval of the Principal who will exercise discretion so as to assure enrollment for good and proper reasons, consistent with the school’s philosophy and mission. St. Rose School will not enroll a student for whom financial obligations to this or other schools of the Diocese remain unpaid.

NON-CATHOLIC FAMILIES

St. Rose School welcomes non-Catholics who express a desire for a Catholic school program and environment. Since the Catholic school is defined by its religious character, enrollment assumes involvement in the religious life of the school (e.g. religion classes, liturgical services, and service programs). However, this participation will not compromise the fundamental principle of an individual’s freedom and dignity.

REGISTRATION

The registration of new students takes place in the school office. Registrants must visit the school in person to complete the registration process. Health forms for each new student are provided in the packet given at the time of registration. These forms must be completed and returned to the school office within the first week of school.

All custodial forms, in the case of guardianship, separation, or divorce must be supplied by the registrant and forwarded to the school office within the first week of school

EMERGENCY FORMS FOR ALL STUDENTS MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE BY THE SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL.

GUIDELINES REGISTRATION FOR KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS

Registration for Kindergarten takes place with the school secretary or Principal. Registrants must provide copies of the student’s Baptismal Certificate (for Catholics) and birth certificate to the school office at the time of registration.

NOTE : A child must be five years of age by August 1 to begin Kindergarten that year.

Each prospective student must participate in a Kindergarten screening to assess the child’s readiness for our program. This screening is scheduled in March or April of the preceding school year. For late registrations, a screening is given in August, before the start of the school year. All applicants for Kindergarten are required to take a readiness test. A readiness test will be given by a team including the Principal, the kindergarten teacher, the speech/language teacher and the physical education teacher. The nurse will test vision and hearing. The Kindergarten teacher will review test results with parents. If doubt exists on a child’s readiness, the Kindergarten teacher will consult with the child’s preschool teacher.

ADMISSION FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS

Registration for transfer students begins with an interview with the school Principal and/or Pastor. The parents must bring a copy of the child’s last report card. Registration will be a temporary acceptance until all records have been transferred to St. Rose School.

For students transferring into Grades 1-8, previous records and the sending principal’s recommendations will be received prior to acceptance. The principal will consult with the sending school from the Columbus Diocese as to the status of tuition payments. All students transferring into Grade 1 must have first attended Kindergarten.

Although St. Rose School does its best to accommodate the learning disabled student, St. Rose School does not have a learning disabilities program nor does it have a teacher licensed to teach learning disabled children.
