| 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.
