Saint Paul School Admissions and Marketing |
|
Kelly Esposito will be working with the Record Journal on new digital marketing - creating moving ads for the 2022-2023 school year - along with AD NOTES that will be placed in local newspapers. |
|
Open Enrollment for 2022-2023 |
Saint Paul School will begin accepting applications for the 2022-2023 school year on
October 1, 2021. This is the time for current SPS families to apply for any new enrollments from their family (not currently enrolled children).
*Due to the small size of our Pre-K3 classroom, current SPS families have first priority in applying with this program. We strongly encourage current families to apply by the end of October as we receive many applications for this class each year.
