Admission Policy

Considerations for admission to Holy Rosary preschool:

  1. Priority will be given to preschool applicants with siblings already enrolled in the K-8 Holy Rosary School program.
  2. Admission to our preschool program will be one factor adding weight to admission into Holy Rosary elementary school. Other factors we consider for admittance to HRS kindergarten include but are not limited to: academic and developmental readiness; applicants with siblings already in the school; and participation in parish life.
  3. Although active participation in Holy Rosary Parish is a consideration in the admission process, we encourage the participation of non-Catholic and/or out-of-parish families.
