There are no events to display for this time period.

We are grateful that you are considering entrusting your child's education and moral development to the administration and staff of Immaculate Conception School. We hope you find all of the information needed for you to make a decision, but if you have any further questions, please contact us.

Enrollment shall not exceed 35 students in any class except when approved by the principal and the pastor.

For admission to Grade 1, a child shall be six years of age by August 31 of the school year in question. Kindergarten children must be five years of age by August 31 of the school year in question.

In advance of initial enrollment, the following certificates must be presented:

Birth certificate
Baptismal Certificate (unless baptized at Immaculate Conception Church)
Verification of Immunization as required by the State of Maryland

In considering children for initial enrollment beyond Grade 1, careful attention will be given to the child's academic record or potential, his social and emotional development, and the family's reasons for seeking Catholic School enrollment.

Children of families who have a past history of being delinquent in tuition payment will not be re-enrolled without written permission of the pastor.

In considering the re-registration of returning students and the admission of new students, the following priorities will be followed:

Siblings of children of parish families already in the school and in good standing.
Siblings of non-parish children already in the school and in good standing.
Oldest child of families active in Immaculate Conception/St. Jude entering for the first time at the Kindergarten level.
Oldest child of families active in other parishes entering school for the first time at the Kindergarten level.
Catholic students transferring from private or public schools.
Non-Catholic students transferring or entering school for the first time at the Kindergarten level.

For the 2008 - 2009 school year, the tuition rates are as follows:

Rate A:

Number of children	Per Year	Per Month
1	$3864	$322

4	$10056	$838 ($209.50/child)

For a Catholic parishioner of Immaculate Conception to qualify for Rate A tuition, the minimal expectation for eligibility is as follows:

Proper registration of the family in Immaculate Conception/St. Jude parish.
Active practice of the Catholic faith by the family as evidenced in weekly attendance at Mass, participation in the sacramental life of the parish and involvement in school and parish activities.
Financial support of the parish through the use of weekly church envelope and/or other identifiable means. (Suggested guidelines $10.00 weekly.)

Families registered in the parish who fail to fulfill the qualifications will be expected to pay rate B tuition. The parish has the right to change a family from Rate A to Rate B tuition or vice versa.

Tuition payments may be made according to one of the following schedules:

In full - Payment for the entire amount of tuition with payment due July 1.
Tuition payment program is set up and maintained by FACTS. The first payment is taken out July 1.

The parish has the responsibility to support the school financially and does so by providing a substantial subsidy to the school. Immaculate Conception School is the largest undertaking of the parish. We need and expect every family with a child in the school to support the parish through weekly offertory collection.
