Admissions Procedures
Applicants will comply with Kansas Law, which states that child must be five years of age on or before August 31 to enter kindergarten, six years of age on or before August 31 to enter grade one. All kindergartners must be evaluated before the first day of school and meet reasonable academic requirements. The student and the parents must be willing and able to abide by all policies and regulations as stated in the current Student/Parent Handbook. All children must present a state issued birth certificate and a baptismal certificate upon entering St. Agnes Catholic School for the first time. A record of immunizations on the official Kansas Certification of Immunization form must be presented by all students upon entering any Kansas School for the first time. The students are also required to have a physical examination. All students are required by the State to be vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and pertusis (DPT). Admittance Prioritization for the coming School Year:
Children who apply for admission to St. Agnes Catholic School by transfer from non-public schools or from public schools, will be placed initially on the grade level they would have reached pending evaluation by classroom teachers, guidance personnel and the school Principal. After such evaluations have been completed, the Principal will determine the final grade placement of the child. Children who apply for admission to St. Agnes who have been homeschooled will be evaluated by the school for placement. The Principal will make the final decision based upon an interview, student portfolio, achievement tests or any other informal curriculum assessments administered by the school. Contact Information: Call the school office at 913-262-1686 to request additional information, to set up a visit, or to arrange for your student to spend a day at St. Agnes School. |
