Admissions

Our School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all of the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to its students.  The School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, its admission policy, or in any school-administered program.
The School endeavors to accommodate students with special needs, as the School’s resources and capabilities reasonably permit.  The School reserves the right to decline admission or impose reasonable conditions of attendance where indicated under the circumstances.
Immaculate Conception follows the local public school district’s age requirements for admission.  In the case of children coming from different public school districts, the School administration determines the admission date.  For Example:  A student who is 6 years old by September 1st is eligible for first grade.  The age for admission to kindergarten should be one year less than that of the first grade. 

The necessary forms and certificates for admission are:

1. Birth Certificate
2. Baptismal certificate (if not baptized at Immaculate Conception)
3. A certificate of immunization that must be updated and available for confirmation.

Admission of Non-Catholics

Our school serves a variety of purposes, including the academic, social and physical development of the students.  However, the primary purpose of our school is religious.  We exist for the purpose of evangelization and catechesis, that is, the proclamation of the Gospel and formation of the entire school community of Faith.  Our school offers a complete Catholic religious education program and makes every effort to develop the Faith in all the students so that they may live a full Christian life.

Non-Catholic students may be admitted to our school under the following conditions:

• The permission of the Pastor is obtained.
• Adequate facilities and space are available, without denying the admission of eligible Catholic Students.
• The parents/guardians agree in writing to permit their child(ren) to attend Religion classes and Religious functions that are offered as part of the school program.
