NON-DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT
In line with the Diocesan Non-Discriminatory Policy, Saint Anne School regards every person as a child of God, regardless of race, condition, or age, who has equal dignity and an inalienable right to an education. Therefore, no qualified student will be denied admission to Saint Anne School on the basis of sex, race, color, or national origin.
ADMISSION POLICY
The process for acceptance to Saint Anne School includes the following:
1. All new students are evaluated and interviewed before acceptance. 2. All candidates for admission must present the most recent standardized test scores and report card as part of the evaluation. 3. New students are on academic probation for one year. 4. Pre-School students must be three years of age by September first. 5. Pre-Kindergarten students must be four years of age by September first. 6. Kindergarten students must be five years of age by September first. 7. First-grade students must be six years of age by September first. 8. Parents agree to actively support the spiritual, academic, and financial standards of the school as well as all school rules and regulations. 9. All forms and fees received at registration must be completed and signed before admission is final. The registration and re-registration fees are non-refundable. 10. Final approval by the principal is required for admission. 11. Immunization records must be complete and up-to-date. 12. A physical examination report on file is mandatory for all incoming first-grade students.
Before enrolling their children in a parish school, parents should carefully consider the financial responsibility and commitment they are making for their children. Each month the school is responsible for paying the teachers’ salaries, in addition to considerable operating expenses. In order to meet these obligations, each family is expected to pay tuition, daycare, lunch cards, sports fees, etc. when they are due.
CONDITIONS FOR ENROLLMENT (for new and returning families)
Christian Conduct Covering Student and Parents/Guardians
Saint Anne School adopts the following statement, issued by the Diocese of Orange, as its policy and procedures regarding Christian conduct for all new and returning families:
The students’ interest in receiving a quality, morally based education can be served if students, parents, and school officials work together. Normally, differences among these individuals can be resolved. In some rare instances, however, the school may find it necessary, at its discretion, to require parents/guardians to withdraw their child.
It shall be an express condition of enrollment that the students behave in a manner, both on and off campus, that is consistent with the Christian principles of the school as determined by the school in its discretion. These principles include, but are not limited to, any policies, principles, or procedures set forth in any Student/Parent Handbook of the school.
These Christian principles further include, but are not limited to, are the following:
1. Parents/guardians are expected to work courteously and cooperatively with the school to assist the student in meeting the academic, moral and behavioral expectations of the school. 2. Students and parents/guardians may respectfully express their concerns about the school operation and its personnel. However, they may not do so in a manner that is discourteous, scandalous, rumor driven, disruptive, threatening, hostile, or divisive. 3. These expectations for students and parents/guardians include, but are not limited to, all school- sponsored programs and events (e.g. extended care, athletics, field trips, etc.).
The school reserves the right to determine, in its discretion, which actions fall short of meeting the Christian principles of the school. Failure to follow these principles will normally result in a verbal or written warning to the students and/or parent/guardian and normally will first result in disciplinary action short of a requirement to withdraw from the school (e.g. suspension of student or suspension of parent/guardian’s privilege to come on the campus grounds and/or participate in school activities, volunteer work, etc.)
The school reserves the right to determine, in its discretion, when conduct is of such a severe nature as to warrant immediate action without a warning and/or without an intermediate step, short of a withdrawal.”
RECEPTION OF SACRAMENTS
It is the obligation and responsibility of the parents to ensure that their child/children receive the sacraments. Saint Anne School will provide the instruction required for the administration of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist, and the parents will be notified when the child is prepared to receive these sacraments and will be given the information necessary to coordinate with the Church.
Christian parents must continue to shepherd their child/children by ensuring regular attendance at Mass, frequent reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Eucharist, and by providing a good example of a truly Christian lifestyle. TUITION
Tuition, registration, and fees are re-evaluated yearly and may be subject to increase. Review is done by the School Board upon final approval by the Principal and Pastor.
Tuition is due by 10th of the month, and is delinquent after the 10th. Two payments are made by September (first and last month), and one each month thereafter, October through May. Fees are paid at registration time in the Spring. If for some just and reasonable cause you are unable to make a payment on time, you must contact the principal before the 10th of the month to explain the reason for your delinquency, in order to forego the late fee of $15.00. There is also a $15.00 fee for returned checks. The school has the right to withhold the student's report card if tuition is not paid by the time that report cards are distributed.
If tuition and/or fees are not paid by the end of the school year, the debt is turned over to a collection agency. We use this measure as a last resort since this affects credit standing.
REGISTRATION AND FEES
Registration and re-registrations are held in the spring of every year. A re-registration packet is sent home with the oldest student and should be returned with the registration fee. Registration fees are non-refundable.
