Admission Guidelines Admission is offered to anyone wishing a
Catholic education. No student will be denied admission because of
race or sex. All families entering the school system must register
at the school office or during spring registration. A physical exam
including vision, hearing, speech and dental is encouraged for all
children entering a Kansas school for the first time. A record of
immunization on an official form must be presented by all students
entering a Kansas school for the first time. Kansas law requires
that a child be six years of age on or before the first day of
September in order to enter first grade. All non-Catholic students
will be admitted upon the condition that parents of the applicant
are willing to pay tuition, and that the principal has determined
that there is enough classroom space available in the applicant's
grade.
