After submitting an application, the next step in the process is for your child to attend a Kindergarten Readiness Session (KRS) for prospective students. During this session, parents will be invited to attend a meet and greet with our principal. Once your application has been received, you will receive more information regarding these sessions.
Kindergarten admissions decisions are generally communicated in early January for the following school year. Please note that this timeline is subject to change.
Applications for Grades 1-8 are accepted on a rolling basis and may be submitted at anytime before the start of the desired school year. Early submission is encouraged, as spots are limited.
Please note that our re-enrollment process for current families is typically completed by March 1. Until this process is finalized, all classes are likely to remain at capacity, and the number of available seats for the upcoming school year may not be known.
If you are interested in applying for Grade 7 or 8, please contact Mary Claire McGlinn (mmcglinn@saintmarys.us) before submitting an application.
In addition to the completed application, the following documents must also be uploaded or submitted:
- Most recent report card

Once the application and required documentation are received, the Admissions Office will schedule:
- Parent and student interview with the Principal

Admissions decisions for Grades 1-8 are communicated in the late spring.
