Applications for new students are accepted beginning in January of each year.
After an application is received, the school secretary will set up the appropriate assessments (if necessary) and an interview with the principal. Once approved for admission, a non-refundable enrollment fee is required to hold a place for a student.
If we have more students interested in attending than we have spots in the classroom, we will open a waiting list. Students from the waiting list are accepted as vacancies occur within the current year.
Children are eligible for admission into the St. Norbert Catholic School Children's Center if they have reached the age of three (Preschool) or four (Pre-Kindergarten) years on or before September 1. Students must turn five by September 1 for Kindergarten enrollment and demonstrate academic, social and emotional readiness for their respective grade. Children are eligible for admission into first grade if they have reached the age of six years on or before September 1 or have successfully completed an accredited Kindergarten program.

Transfer students will be admitted on a probationary period of 8-10 weeks. If a student shows, during that period, that he/she cannot adjust in our school or meet the academic standards required for that particular grade, he/she will not be enrolled. All new students are evaluated and/or interviewed before acceptance. Copies of their most recent report card and achievement testing are required for transferring students. With regard to health, California immunization requirements must be met before admission. The Parent Agreement and all forms received at registration must be completed and all required fees paid before students are officially accepted.
