Admissions Policy for New Families Grades K-8

Children of parishioners living within the territorial boundaries of Our Lady of Lourdes will be given first priority.

A.     The residence of the custodial parent determines “within the territorial boundaries.”  Official custodial papers must be provided.

B.     Should the number of students living in the territorial boundaries of Our Lady of Lourdes exceed the number of classroom spaces available, the following process will be implemented:

·        children who have older siblings already enrolled in Our Lady of Lourdes School.

·        additional children from families who have attended Our Lady of Lourdes School.

Children of parishioners outside the territorial boundaries but whose families have been registered in the parish for at least two years prior to registration (mid-February, 2008) are considered active priority.

Students who are not of the Catholic faith may be accepted only if space is available and on a full-tuition cost rate to be established annually.

Registration is held mid-February each year.

It is the practice of Our Lady of Lourdes to screen all incoming students.
