                Conditional Acceptance

                All newly accepted students are probationary for the first year. St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic School is a religious, private non-profit school and abides by all rules and requirements to which it is subject in that status. While every entering child is viewed as a valued child of God St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic School may not be able to serve all needs of every child as well as would an alternative placement. Students must demonstrate academic and behavioral success in their placement at St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic School. New students who do not maintain acceptable grades, attendance, or behavior may be asked to leave as soon as a below-average pattern appears established within the first trimester or at the end of either of the final two trimesters. Continued enrollment for struggling new students is dependent upon multiple factors including the effort of the child and the parents, placement options elsewhere, and likelihood for success in the future here. Final decisions are made at the discretion of the Principal.

                Continued Enrollment of All Students

                Acceptance for any continuing student for the following year may be granted if:
                1. The student receives passing grades in all major subjects.
                2. The student maintains a C average in Conduct and Effort grades.
                3. All financial debts are cleared (such as tuition, fees, after-school care bills).*
                4. There is evidence of parental support and cooperation with the school.
                5. The student is clearly benefiting from placement at St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic School.
                6. The school is benefiting from its relationship with the student and the family.

                *Please remember that as good Christian stewards, our budget is tight and your payment of debts owed is very important to our school’s proper functioning for everyone. Note that failure to maintain prompt payment of outstanding bills could result in suspension from academic participation in class (including all final testing) and therefore withholding of final grading until the program can be completed (resulting in Incomplete grades on the child’s transcript).

                Student and Parent Philosophy of Educational Accountability

                When parents register their children with St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic School, all children are accepted with the understanding that this school is the most appropriate placement for each, and that the student intends to complete his/her education in earnest and integrity in this Catholic environment. A student and his parents will, therefore, exhibit effort and conduct that bears out this presumption at all times. Failure to make proper use of the opportunities given to succeed appropriately in academic progress or in conduct at St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic School should lead to consequences which include curtailment or withdrawal of any or all privileges of enrollment here. Each student and parent/guardian commit to familiarizing themselves with the parent handbook and to adhere to all rules and requirements contained in it. All will adhere to any regulations adopted and announced by the Administration of the school in the course of the school year as having the same force as those printed in this handbook (and supersede it). All commit themselves to positive engagement of disputes. Recourse to any dispute resolution shall be first with the teacher, then the principal and then the pastor of the parish, and done in the context of Christian charity.

                International Students
