23-24 School Year Registration for Current Families

2023-24 School Year Registration

for Current Families

Dear Current Families,

We are less than a month away from the new year! And with the coming of the new year, comes the time for current families to register for the 2023-2024 School Year!

TK - Grade 7 Registration for Current Families

To ensure priority enrollment, all currently enrolled, TK - Grade 7 families are required to complete 2023-2024 Registration (1 per student) in FACTS. This will secure your spot for the 2023-24 school year. This priority enrollment period for our current families is from January 2, 2023 through February 3, 2023. After this period, St. Serra will begin accepting new applicants for any unsecured spots in each grade level. We have over 200 new students eagerly waiting to join our school. To make the registration process quick and easy, most of the fields are prepopulated with your current information, you will simply be asked to update the information with any changes.

A non-refundable registration/enrollment fee of $800 per student is required for your registration to be considered complete and your spot secured. An email with detailed instructions will be sent out when 2023-24 Registration opens at 10 a.m. on January 2.

Preschool Registration for Current Families

Currently enrolled Preschool students will also be required to complete 2023-24 Registration (1 per student) in FACTS. This will secure your spot for the 2023-24 school year. This priority enrollment for our current Preschool families is from January 2, 2023 through February 28, 2023. After this period, St. Serra will begin accepting new applicants for any open spots in each program level. If you have questions regarding placement for your child next school year, please be sure to consult your child's teacher. Once this discussion has occurred, Mrs. Reiss will notify Admissions of your child’s placement so we can ensure the correct registration packet is ready for you to complete come January 2, 2023. To make the registration process quick and easy, most of the fields are prepopulated with your current information, you will simply be asked to update the information with any changes. A non-refundable registration/enrollment fee of $400 per student is required for your registration to be considered complete and your spot secured. An email with detailed instructions will be sent out when 2023-24 Registration opens at 10 a.m. on January 2.

Currently Enrolled Preschool Students Placement by Birthdate

Please consult your child’s current teacher if you have questions about placement:

Young 4’s: Turn 4-years-old between September 1 - December 30, 2023
Pre-K: Turn 4-years-old between January 1 - August 31, 2023
TK: Turn 5-years-old between Sep 1 - December 30, 2023 (Note: TK is NOT part of Preschool, the $800 non-refundable deposit applies to TK- Grade 8)

Applying for a Sibling

Current families who are interested in enrolling siblings in Preschool through Grade 8 for next school year can apply on January 2, 2023 when applications open to "Priority Families."

To help you plan and consider your family budget, we are anticipating a tuition increase for the 2023-2024 school year to be between 3% and 5%. Actual tuition rates will be announced in the spring of 2023.

Priority of admission shall be given first to practicing members of our four Catholic Parish communities: Holy Trinity, San Francisco Solano, Santiago de Compostela and St. Kilian. Parents must subscribe to the school’s philosophy and agree to abide by the educational policies and regulations of the school. St. Junipero Serra Catholic Preschool will consider applications from outside our parish communities. Siblings of current students are given priority in admissions. Re-admission is not automatic. Active family participation is evaluated by school annually.

Tuition Assistance Timeline

January 2, 2023 – Tuition Assistance Applications Open
March 3, 2023 – Tuition Assistance Applications Close (No Exceptions)
Week of April 3, 2023 - Award Notifications will be Emailed from FACTS

All interested families must complete a new application for assistance each year. If you have another student at a different school that also uses FACTS for Tuition Assistance, simply add your St. Serra student to the same application. Additional information may be required for the additional student. FACTS Grant & Aid conducts the financial analysis (independent of St. Serra) to determine a family’s financial need. Assistance is awarded to those who qualify and is based on funds available. To be considered for assistance, each student must have a completed application submitted and deposit paid for the 2023-24 school year.
