Admissions
Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child in Our Lady of Grace Catholic School. We are very excited about the quality and direction of our programs and look forward to having you join the Our Lady of Grace family. The following provides information on our school and its admission policies.
Application Procedures
All students seeking admission to Our Lady of Grace School must apply for enrollment. There is a one-time, non-refundable application fee. The completed application form and fee are required to process the application. In addition, an appointment with Mr. Gary Gelo, Principal, or Mrs. Shirley Kinlaw, Assistant Principal, is required. A tour of the school may be arranged at the time of the appointment.
In all cases involving Catholic students, their pastor must certify with a Parish Voucher that the parent(s) are active parishioners in good standing. An “active” parishioner is one who is baptized Catholic, registered in a parish, attends Mass weekly, supports the parish according to one’s means by using offertory envelopes, and offers one’s time and talents, to the extent possible, in service of the parish. Transfer families must provide a Parish Voucher from their former pastor stating that they were active parishioners. All applications will be reviewed and active parishioner status will be verified.
A pre-admission screening is performed by ABC Educational Services, Inc. The purpose of the screening is to determine a child's educational and emotional maturity, and readiness for the grade for which they are applying. Placement decisions are also based on previous school and teacher evaluations.
