School, the development or behavioral age of the child is a strong
factor in considering acceptance. The developmental age is an
assessment at which the child is functioning as a total person:
emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. Intellectual
development and/or chronological age are not necessarily guarantees
of academic readiness. The prospective student must be able to
understand and speak English proficiently. Kindergarten: A child
must be five years of age by December 1st in order to be eligible
for entrance into the St. Monica School Kindergarten class. It is
advisable that children have pre-school experience before attending
Kindergarten. After an application has been submitted, appointments
for the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment will be scheduled, first
held on a Saturday morning in January/February. The preferred
application deadline is January 31st. Incoming 1st through 8th
Grades: Transfer students are welcome at any time. A child will be
accepted into St. Monica if he or she is assessed as being able to
perform academically at grade level. In order for this judgment to
be fairly made, a full day classroom visitation and testing for the
prospective student is provided at every grade level. We may not be
able to accommodate students applying for Grades 1st through 8th if
the student's previous school indicates that there have been
continuing problems in the areas of self-control and/or study
habits. Acceptance priorities: 1. Child is a sibling of an
enrollment student 2. Child is Catholic and parents live within the
St. Monica Parish boundaries 3. Child is a Catholic and parents do
not live within the St. Monica Parish boundaries 4. Child is not
Catholic Families of all faiths are welcome
