Enrollment Procedures

St. Stephen School accepts children for the purposes of religious and academic formation. Provided there are openings, the school admits students in the following order of priority:

  • currently enrolled students
  • siblings of currently enrolled students
  • the children of officially registered parishioners of St. Stephen Parish with consideration given to length of time that the parishioners* are registered in St. Stephen Parish.
  • Catholic non-parishioners’ children who are not currently enrolled
  • non-Catholic children who are not currently enrolled

*Parishioners are defined as Catholic households registered in the parish, regularly worshipping at Sunday Mass, participating in parish life, and contributing to the financial support of the parish by regular use of contribution envelopes.

Children entering pre-kindergarten for 3 year olds must be three years of age on or before September 1st. Children entering pre-kindergarten for 4 year olds must be four years of age on or before September 1st. Children must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not allowed. Children entering kindergarten must be 5 years of age on or before September 1st.

  • Reading and math screenings may be administered to students, grades 2 through 8, who are new to the school. The purpose of these tests is to determine acceptance and/or class placement. A conference with the principal will be scheduled prior to acceptance.
  • All new students are on a one year probationary period.
  • Registration usually takes place at the end of January.

Each year St. Stephen School maintains a “waiting list” for admission at each grade level. Parents who wish to place their children on the school’s waiting list can do so with a non-refundable fee of $65 per family as of the first day of the new school year. This list is maintained until the last day of August. At that time the list is erased. The school does not keep a list from year to year.
