Waiting List and Refunds
If a grade is full, students with completed

are placed on a waiting list based on the admissions
priority criteria (see Admissions Policy). If an opening
becomes available before the beginning of school, or
during the school year up to November 1, 2006, and the
parent chooses not to enroll their child, the registration
fee is non-refundable. If the child is not placed in
a class by November 1, 2007, the fee is refunded.
Special Assistance
St. John Regional Catholic School offers quality education
to all who seek it; however, some students may need
special assistance. A conference with the principal
will be held to determine the best solution for all
students to succeed.
