Procedures

1. 1.On January 19, 2012 at 7:00 pm in the school gym, parents of prospective Kindergarten students will get all the information they need. At the same time, they will be asked to complete a request form for an interview with the Principal.

3. 3.Registration forms must be returned between March 5 and March 9, 2012. If any package is not returned within that week, the space is given to another family.
   

4. 4.Once all registrations have been received along with the payable fees and tuitions, parents will be notified by letter with further information such as a New Parent meeting, uniforms, supplies and so on.
   

Students in Higher Grades

Call or email us with your enquiry to be placed on a waiting list. When all registrations for current students have been returned, the office will know how many openings the various grades will have for the following year. Waiting lists are shredded each year, so parents need to call each year to confirm your continued interest.

If there’s an opening, families will be contacted for an interview that includes parents and child. Bring your child’s most recent report card. Once the interview is completed successfully, parents will receive registration forms, which must be completed and returned within a week to hold the place.

We base all student acceptance on the following order of priorities:

1. 1.Registered Catholics who support
   St. Augustine's Parish
   

2. 2.Catholics from other parishes
   

3. 3.Siblings of St. Augustine's students
   

4. 4.Children of other religious backgrounds
   

Children can enter Kindergarten in September of the calendar year they turn five. The Kindergarten program runs during school hours 8:40 to 3:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; and 8:40 to 2:00 on Wednesdays. Before being accepted, prospective students and their parents will meet with the principal to discuss school policies, expectations and philosophy. Parents will need to sign a school document that states your agreement to support school sponsored activities and religious programs and liturgies.
