School Admission Policy:
Corpus Christi School admits
students of any sex, race, color or racial or ethnic origin to all the
rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made
available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate
on the bases of sex, race, color, racial or ethnic origin in
administration of its education policies.
The competition to enter
children into Corpus Christi School and kindergarten over the past
several years motivates us to clarify two points of interest to all
parishioners and school families. First, active parishioners will be
given preferred consideration for acceptance. Naturally, several
factors enter into admission but, other things being equal, loyal
parishioners deserve preference.
Secondly, a clear understanding
of what constitutes being an active parishioner should help. For this
purpose, an active parishioner is one who:
- has registered in the parish
at the time the family moved into the parish.
- participates regularly at
weekend Mass in the parish.
- has a record of using
donation envelopes consistently.
Additional weight in the
acceptance decision will be given to the following factors:
- length of time the family has
a history of active participation in the parish.
- dependable participation in
some parish program or project, e.g. parish committees (liturgy,
spirituality, social, service, education and resources), the parish
renewal program (called Renew) or the religious education programs for
youth, (pre-school, religious education programs and Confirmation).
However, new parishioners do
have an opportunity because parents with children currently enrolled
are required to maintain the status described above for re-acceptance
of their children each year.
Corpus Christi School is an
integral part of the parish program and an extraordinary educational
bargain. This explanation is an attempt to set an equitable policy and
to make explicit the relationship between the parish and the school. We
value your support, and we want the school to serve our loyal
parishioners to the best of our ability.
