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.
