Evaluation will be conducted in the core subjects of reading, writing, and math, as well as observations on student interactions in the classroom.

   4. All prospective parents will have an interview with the principal so the principal may get to know you, address any questions arising from the visit or application and to answer any questions you might have about the Nativity School.

Acceptance:

After the school’s re-enrollment deadline in January, a decision is usually made within 1-2 weeks. The school will notify the family regarding acceptance. As a Catholic school, it is our practice to give priority to siblings of current school families, students from our own parish, and then Catholics from other parishes that do not have a parish school.

Enrollment:

Once you confirm your child’s acceptance you will receive an email from SchoolSpeak with login information and a password so you can complete the enrollment process. Upon receipt of all agreements and fees your child will be officially enrolled.
