ADMISSIONS PROCESS 

Admission to St. Anthony Catholic School involves an application process.  The application process at St. Anthony involves several steps.  Before you consider applying, please be sure that your child is the appropriate age for the grade you want him or her to enter. Children entering Kindergarten must be five years old by September 30th.  Children entering first grade must be six by September 30th of the entry year.  Documentation of proof of age is required. 
           
Step I- Apply online using TADS, our Enrollment and Admissions service.
Step II-  Submit the $50.00 non-refundable application fee online.
Submit required documentation:

• Birth certificate and immunization record
• Baptismal certificate (if Catholic)
• Report Cards- current and past 2 school years
• Standardized Testing- most current and any previous scores
• Sign the Parent/Guardian Authorization Form and return it to Mrs. Bond, School Secretary.  St. Anthony Catholic School will then mail the Teacher Recommendation Form to your child’s current teacher.  Once this form is completed, your child’s current school should mail it directly to us.  Please follow up with your child’s current teacher to ensure that this has been mailed.  
• Any other pertinent information on your child’s behalf.

Please Note: No action will be taken on your application until all required information has been received.
The Review Committee will evaluate all the requested documentation/materials provided.  The school will make an evaluation upon the completion of Step II to determine if a student will be considered for admission.  If so, the student will move on to Step III, which is the Admission Screening.
Students not being considered for admissions will be notified at the completion of Step II.
 
Step III- Admission Screening

• Admission Screening is used to determine the level of performance in the language, auditory, and visual perception skills.  Screening is also used to determine placement and to confirm the student’s ability to be successful in a particular grade. 

Step IV- Student and/or Parent/Guardian Interview

• The principal/committee may elect to schedule an interview with the student and/or parent/guardian prior to final acceptance.  This may also include the student spending time in a particular classroom.

Step V- Acceptance

• Once your child has been accepted into the St. Anthony Catholic School Community you will receive an Acceptance Letter via mail.
• In order to finalize this process and continue to hold a place for your child you must pay $100.00 non-refundable registration fee (check or money order only).  If we do not receive them within ten days, we will assume that you have made other plans and offer your child’s place to another student.
• Complete and sign the Tuition Agreement Form
• Additional documentation may be requested in order to finalize your child’s placement for the school year.
• If we do not receive items within ten days, we will assume that you have made other plans and offer your child’s place to another student.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR ALL ARCHIDOCESAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

• Registrations are not complete until all tuition and school fees are paid, in full, at the school where students are currently enrolled.
• No records may be transferred to a second school, unless all payments are up to date.
