Wait List Process

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of class openings, a waiting list will be established. Following registration, positions on the waiting list will be assigned using the same ranking criteria stated below.

  • Families offered an admission have 24 hours to respond.
  • If a family is offered an admission prior to the beginning of the school year and does not accept, they will be given a choice to either go to the bottom of the current list or be removed all together.
  • If a family is offered an admission during the school year but does not accept, they will be given a choice to either register for the beginning of the next school year or be removed. Special circumstances for not accepting admission (such as illness) will be given separate consideration by the school administration.
  • A new waiting list will be established for each school year. Participation in annual registration will be necessary to be considered for the next school year even if you are on the current waiting list.

Registrations for admission will be ranked according to the following priorities:

  1. Children from families registered at and actively involved* in St Brigid Parish
    • a. Children with siblings currently/previously enrolled in K-8 (in good standing)
    • b. Children of current St. Brigid Staff (active at St. Brigid Parish or in their home parish)
    • c. Children of St. Brigid Alumni
    • d. Children now reaching school age
    • e. Children of families newly moved and registered into St. Brigid whose children have been in Catholic schools where such were available.
      *Active involvement ranked by date of registration at the parish, as well as regular contributions and involvement in the parish
  2. Children from Non-Parishioners with siblings currently enrolled in K-8
  3. Children whose families are active, practicing members of other Eastern Rite Catholic Churches that are in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church
  4. Children enrolling or transferring from other Catholic Parishes
    a. with parish schools that are closing
    b. who do not offer K-8 programs
    c. with parish school with a wait list
  5. Children of other, non-Catholic Faith traditions.
