Re-registration for 2021-2022

As we prepare for the 2021-2022 school year, remember to send in your re-registration. Due to the uncertainty of COVID guidelines, our class sizes may remain limited. We need your registration/commitment to secure your child's seat for the 2020/2021 school year. With your registration by 1/31/20, we can assure your child a spot. The following information is the next step to our registration process:
  • Please complete and return the re-registration form, to secure placement for next year
  • Include the non-refundable $200 per family re-registration/commitment fee. This fee is credited
to next year’s tuition.
  • Please return the form and payment to the school office on or before Sunday, January 31, 2021.
Completion and submission of this form and re-registration fee are required for your child(ren)’s
enrollment for the upcoming school year. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to
Catholic education. Open registration for new families begins on Sunday, January 31, 2021.
