ADMISSION POLICY

To be admitted the student and his/her parent must subscribe to the school's philosophy and agree to abide by the educational policies and regulations of the school and the Diocese.
A Tuition and Policy Agreement must be signed before being admitted. Birth and baptismal certificates are required, as are immunization records.
All students will be screened academically. No one will be admitted who, in the judgment of the administration, will not have his/her needs met at Sacred Heart Academy. All students will be screened for behavior patterns and attitudes. No student will be admitted who in the judgment of the administration, demonstrates severe grade level deficiencies or behavioral problems.
Students are admitted in the following order of priority for grades K-8:
1. Students presently enrolled.
2. Parishioners
3. Siblings of students presently enrolled.
4. Non-parishioner Catholics
5. Non-Catholics
Kindergarten students must be five years of age by September 1st of the school year. The applicant student must demonstrate age-appropriate developmental maturity on the Brigance Readiness Test. An original copy of the Birth and Baptismal Certificates are also required.
First grade students must be six years of age by September 1st of the school year.
All new students are placed on academic and conduct probation for at least a nine week period. It is of utmost importance that parents constantly seek to remind themselves that their support of the school, especially in regards to prompt payment of tuition and a willingness to volunteer in school projects, does operate as a prerequisite to re-registration and a condition for continued presence in school.
The administration and faculty of Sacred Heart Academy wish to remind every family that this school is not geared to accommodate those students who demonstrate severe grade level deficiencies or behavioral problems. We do all in our power to recommend and/or schedule specialized testing where academic deficiencies may be caused by specific learning disabilities, and will assist in referrals for alternate school placement if we can not meet the student's needs through a learning prescription.
Any parent whose child has been diagnosed as having a learning disability should set up a conference with the principal and the child's teacher to write a learning prescription for the child. Parents are responsible for having IEP's updated every year.
