Dear Parents,

Re: Admission Policy

Thank you for applying at Cloverdale Catholic School.

The Board of Directors of the Catholic Independent Schools of the Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA) has determined the priorities for admission to our schools. With the incredible interest in Catholic education and the growth of the Cloverdale area we are experiencing greater demand for the few spots that are available at Cloverdale Catholic School. More than ever, we want to make sure that we give top priority to those families who have already indicated by their faithful living that it is the Catholicity of the school that is most important.

We, therefore, ask you to make careful note of the Admission Priorities Policy, listed below:

Priorities for admittance into elementary schools shall be:

1)Children presently enrolled in the school (Kindergarten to Grade 7) if they and their families meet the expectations of the school (as outlined in the Parent Commitment Form
2) Siblings of children already in the school, whose families are practicing Catholics active in the parish.
3) Children whose families are practicing Catholics active in the parish.
4) Siblings of children already in the school, whose families are practicing Catholics active in other parishes.
5) Children whose families are practicing Catholics coming into the parish, who have been attending Catholic school elsewhere.
6) Children whose families are practicing Catholics active in other parishes.
7) Children whose families are either not practicing Catholics or not active in their parishes.
8) Non-Catholics.

For purposes of this policy, "presently enrolled in the school" does not apply to preschool; "practicing Catholics" shall mean those individuals who are registered in a parish and attend Sunday Mass regularly; "active in a parish" shall mean those who support the parish by using envelopes (no minimum amount specified) and participate in the work activities required of them.

You will be asked to sign a Parent Commitment Form (which can be viewed online in our Parent Handbook) each year upon acceptance into C.C.S.

To assist the Pastor in determining who will qualify for acceptance to Cloverdale Catholic School, an admissions Committee has been formed composed of the Pastor, the Chairperson of the P.E.C. (or delegate), and the principal.

If you have any questions or concerns about the information outlined above, please feel free to talk to the principal or any member of the Parish Education Committee.

Yours in Christ,

Please take your time with this application and make sure that it is complete and legible.

Parish Subsidy:

Parish schools within the Archdiocese service the parish to which the school is affiliated. Each year, the parish subsidizes the school financially to balance the school's budget.

Government School Grant: In order for Cloverdale Catholic School to receive the Provincial Government School Grant, government regulations require that a pupil be in attendance in one school for a minimum of 135 days between September and May 15. Partial grants are allowed if children transfer from one Catholic school to another Catholic school. Families, whose children do not attend Cloverdale Catholic School for 135 days by May 15, except in the case of illness, will be required to reimburse Cloverdale Catholic School for an amount equal to the Government Grant.

Upon applying for our children to attend Cloverdale Catholic School, we do so with the understanding that we will comply with the policies set down by the school regarding the Religion program, tuition fees, discipline, parental participation, the school dress code and the school grant regulations.
