Registration for the 2017-2018 school year is upon us. We would like to register all returning students by May 15, 2017 so that we have time to organize classes, order textbooks, recruit volunteers, and train staff.
Registration Day will be Monday, May 1st, from 4:00-8:00PM in the Parish Hall.
This will take place during our regular Monday class sessions for your convenience.
Registration forms will not be accepted by classroom teachers.
With the exception of new parishioners, any registration information submitted after May 15, 2017,
will be considered “late registration” and will carry an added $25.00 fee.
Preschool classes for 3yr. olds, 4yr. olds and Kindergarteners take place on Sunday mornings from 8:50-10:10AM (during the 9:00AM Mass). Children must be three years old by 12/1/17 to be eligible. Classes take place in the preschool classroom facility and will begin in late September 2017. Please consider volunteering as a biweekly teacher or aide in the preschool program.
The Elementary Program for children in Grades 1-6 takes place on Mondays and will begin in late September 2017. An afternoon session, 4:15-5:30PM, and an evening session, 6:30-7:45PM are offered. Class sizes are limited and the number of classes at each session is determined by the number of teachers who volunteer. We will try our best butcannot guarantee placement in a particularclass session. We suggest registering early if you must enroll your child in a particular session.
We typically have a three yearSacramental Program here at St. John. Upon successful completion of Grades 1 and 2 baptized children are eligible to celebrate their First Reconciliation in the spring of second grade. After completion of a third year of instruction, children are eligible to celebrate their First Eucharist in the spring of third grade. Children seven years old and above, who have not been baptized, or are behind in the usual process of sacramental preparation, should be enrolled in the Christian Initiation of Children (CIC) program. They must register for the Monday 6:30-7:45 session. CIC children will be mainstreamed into a class with their grade level peers. A series of additional family meetings will be required as well as completion of a home program. Parents of children in the Christian Initiation of Children (CIC) program must attend a mandatory Parent Orientation Meeting in Mid-September 2017.
Weekly Sunday Mass attendance, a minimum of 80% class attendance, participation in family sacramental meetings and completion of a Home Program are required of all students preparing for reception of sacraments. Exceptions will not be made for students participating in extracurricular activities so please keep that in mind when signing your children up for sports and other after school programs. Please note that families with children in Grades 2, 3, or the Christian Initiation of Children (CIC) programare asked to submit a Family Meeting fee of $35.00 in order to help defray the extra cost of their supplemental materials.
All children entering FIRST GRADE, including those baptized at St. John, must submit a copy of their BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE at the time of registration. New Second and Third grade students as well as students in the Christian Initiation of Children program who are enrolling in St. John’s Religious Education program for the first time, must also submit their Baptismal Certificate upon registration. Registration materials for all First Graders, Second and Third Graders new to the program, and new students in the Christian Initiation of Children Program, will not be accepted without a copy of their Baptismal certificate attached.
* NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.
Over the years, many parents have requested that their child be placed in the same class with a friend. We will do our best to accommodate you provided the request is written in the top margin of your registration form at the time of registration. Please limit your request to only one friend per child. We may not be able to process requests for class placements with friends after May 15, 2017.
Please be sure to fill out both sides of your registration form and sign the bottom of the emergency treatment section. Baptismal Certificate (For all First Graders, 2nd and 3rd Graders new to the program, and new Christian Initiation of Children students), completed Registration Form, completed Volunteer Sheet, Registration Fee, and Family Meeting Fee (For 2nd and 3rd Graders & CIC students only), must be turned in before your child’s class session and placement will be made
In Mid-September 2017, all registered families will receive a letter verifying their child’s registration, session time, class assignment, and location of their classroom. You will also receive a school calendar and pertinent program information at that time.
We look forward to seeing you in the Parish Hall on Registration Day – Monday - May 1st!
