OLW School Early Childhood Registration Guidelines, 2021-2022 School Year

A $150 non-refundable registration fee is required for all students at the time of registration. Without the registration fee, the child will not be put on any class list. The registration fee is only refundable if you move out of the school district.

Parents registering new students to OLW School will need to bring to registration:

• a LEGAL birth certificate (not the hospital copy), and
• a baptismal certificate (even if baptized at OLW) Originals will be returned after copies are made in the office.

Since class size is limited, the following order will be considered when taking registrations:

1. Currently enrolled OLW School students
2. Brothers or sisters of currently enrolled OLW students
3. Children of OLW Parishioners registered before December 1, 2020
4. Children of Catholic families registered at parishes other than OLW
5. Children of non-Catholic families

• Jan 4 – 22:            Early Childhood Enrollment for current OLW preschoolers and siblings**
• Jan 4 – Feb 5:      Open enrollment for families thru Catholic Schools Week
• Feb 9:                   Registrations filled on a first-come, first-served basis

** The school office will be open on Mon – Thurs from 8am-12pm during the planned remote learning period of January 4-15.

Registration for parishioners and other new families will be accepted up to and including Catholic Schools Week. Parishioner registrations will be processed by lottery before non-parishioner registrations. Any registrations submitted February 9^th and later will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
