St. Lawrence School has an open, non-discriminatory admissions policy. The school will accept students based on the following priorities: first, students from families in St. Lawrence Parish; second, students from families that are members of parishes in the area; third, other students who request to be enrolled. St. Lawrence seeks a qualified, diverse student body who add to the quality of academic, religious, and social life of St. Lawrence School. The admissions deadline for returning students and new Catholic students is May 20. After this date non-Catholic students will be considered for admission. St. Lawrence School accepts students with special needs when reasonable accommodations can be made to meet their needs. St. Lawrence School reserves the right to grant or deny admission in our sole and absolute pastoral discretion.
Classroom enrollment is limited to 20 students in Grades Pre-school through Two and 25 in Grades Three through Five. Two additional spaces are left to allow enrollment for new members of the parish.
For St. Lawrence parishioners, worshipping at St. Lawrence Parish is an essential component in developing our faith life. Your attendance at Mass is an important witness, not only to your children, but to all parish children and adults that regular participation in the sacraments is essential to our way of life as Catholics. This is to be demonstrated by giving a parish envelope in the offertory basket on a weekly basis. We encourage you to engage your children in additional forms of daily family prayer as well.
ALL students admitted to St. Lawrence School must satisfy the following criteria:
- All students requesting admission to St. Lawrence School must be assessed for placement. Results will be reviewed by the principal or principal designee and classroom teacher and an admission decision will be made based on placement test scores and a review of past school records.
