PREPARATIONS FOR THE START OF A NEW SCHOOL YEAR
At the beginning of each year we require students bring the following items to school. These are due the first day of school. In addition, we provide families with the School's Handbook that describe many of the workings of the school.. Once the handbook is published it is assumed that every family reads it, abides by its rules and honors the commitments outlined.

Additionally, Summer reading lists are provided at the end of the previous year so they may be immediately discussed when the new school year begins. Make sure you get your books here, or find them in the local libraries so your child is prepared for the ongoing discussions.

The intent of this guideline is to assist the principal in accepting students for enrollment in the event of the school receiving more applications than available space. The guideline recognizes that Saint Patrick School's purpose is to provide Catholic education. It recognizes the considerable support, financial and otherwise provided by Saint Patrick Parish to the school. It also recognizes the demonstrated commitment to catholic grade school education by families already enrolled in the school.
