Admissions
NON-DISCRIMINATION IN ADMISSION POLICIES
No student shall be refused admission to Catholic Schools on the basis of race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin. Registration for the following school year is held during second semester. There is a limited number of students allowed per classroom as determined by the School Committee. New student registration requires a $250 non-refundable fee. This fee is applied to the book fees at the beginning of the year. Should a class be filled, the child will be placed on a waiting list for the classroom. This still requires the $250 registration fee, which is refundable only if the child is not admitted to the school.
All students that are admitted to the school are automatically on a six-month probationary period. Students who transfer from other schools must be in solid standing. Saint Mark reserves the right to deny admission to students who have been expelled from other schools, are being retained, or who are facing disciplinary action.
