Kindergarten
In February, incoming Kindergarten students participate in a readiness screening to help assess their preparedness for school. The screening includes:
- Letter and number recognition
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Social and emotional readiness
Grades 1–8
Applicants for grades 1–8 take a placement test to evaluate academic performance and determine admission eligibility. The test includes:
- Math
- Reading comprehension and language arts
- Writing
Within one to two days after screening, the school office will contact families by phone to share admission decisions.
***Space availability depends on current class size, the number of returning students, and the number of applicants. Enrollment is offered per the acceptance policy. Priority is given to siblings and then to children of active parishioners of Holy Spirit Church.
Enrollment is the last step in the admission process. Families secure their child’s spot by completing the online registration form and paying the registration fee. Eligible families may also apply for financial assistance during this time. Once registration is confirmed, families will receive registration packets, and our school’s Welcoming Committee will reach out with updates and guidance to help prepare for the upcoming school year.
