Admission and Enrollment Policies

Admissions:
SS. Cyril & Methodius School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin. Admission takes place through formal registration and evidence of birth, Baptism, parish membership, and childhood immunizations. Early screening is required for entry into Kindergarten and First Grade.

Enrollment/Re-enrollment is renewed each year, usually during February-March. Acceptance is contingent upon financial requirements being met and evidence of acceptable behavior with our school philosophy. The school reserves the right in some cases not to invite the family back to school or deny re-registration due to unresolved discipline problems, failure to follow rules, refusal to complete assignments, tuition that is outstanding, financial obligations have not been met or cleared, or if philosophy and/or policies cannot be observed.

Transfer students must present records from previous school along with a written reason from the pastor indicating reason of transfer. Transfer students will be admitted for a probationary period of nine weeks. Students will be observed for successful experiences, both academically and behaviorally.

Withdrawal Policy:
Parents/Guardians deciding to withdraw their child(ren) for any reason need to contact in writing, the school office to process a record transfer. Registration fees will not be reimbursed. Students records will not be released until ALL school bills are paid and all forms have been completed and signed by the parents/guardians and principal.

Change of Address/Pertinent Information:
Any changes in information must be provided in writing by the parent/guardian to the school office. It is critical that information remain current in a case of illness, medical emergencies or an accident.

Child Custody:
In case of separation, divorce, or shared custody, the school requires the custodial parent to provide a certified copy of the court order, and/or complete divorce decree with the judge’s signature. The school will not act as a liaison between parents.


Prior to the first day of school the following forms must be submitted:

  • Physical Examination Record (Early Childhood & New students)
  • Emergency Medical Authorization Form
  • Authorized Pick-Up List (Early Childhood & Extended Homework Lab students)
  • Federal Lunch Program Form
