Admission Policy
Considerations for admission to Holy Rosary preschool:
- Priority will be giving to preschool applicants with siblings already enrolled in the K-8 Holy Rosary School program.
- 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.
- Admission to our pre-school 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.
