Student Placement Guidelines
- All children who have been baptized Catholic are expected to begin formal religious education in First Grade with continuous formation through Eighth Grade in a Catholic school or parish Religious Education program.
- Parents of new students in Second Grade and above must provide transcripts showing the child’s previous and consistent participation in an Archdiocesan-approved Catholic School or parish Religious Education program beginning in First Grade.
- We place students in their grade-appropriate years and work with them and their families to prepare for the sacraments when they have completed two years of enrollment.
- Students beginning Religious Education for the first time in second grade are placed in First Year (a combined 1st and 2nd grade class). In their second year, they will be placed in Third Grade.
- Students who did not attend in Seventh Grade will begin preparation for Confirmation in the Seventh Grade program (Confirmation I), and when they are in Ninth Grade, be placed in the Eighth Grade program (Confirmation II). They will be confirmed in that year.
