NON-DISCRIMINATION CLAUSE |
Saint Henry School admits students of any
race, color, sex, and national origin to all
rights, privileges, programs, and
activities. It does not discriminate
on the basis of race, color, sex, or
national origin in the administration of
educational policies, admission policies,
loan programs, athletic, or other school
administered programs. This policy
does not preclude the ability of the school
to undertake and/or enforce appropriate
actions with respect to students who
advocate on school property or at school
functions any practices or doctrines, which
are inconsistent with religious tenets of
the Catholic faith. |
|
ADMISSION
POLICY |
|
Saint Henry School is a parish elementary school supported
by tuition and the contributions of the members of the
parish. The primary purpose of the school is the development
of the spiritual, intellectual, social, moral, and physical
potential of the children of Saint Henry Parish. Registered,
contributing parishioners and currently registered students
will be given priority over other applicants for admission.
A contributing member is one who is registered,
participating, and financially supporting the parish by
using the envelope system on a regular basis. Applicants for
admission will be given priority in the following manner:
-
Current registered
students who continue to meet school standards and
siblings
-
Registered,
contributing parishioners of Saint Henry Parish.
-
Registered,
contributing parishioners from other parishes.
-
Non-participating or
Non-Catholic students.
Ordinarily, all children of
Saint Henry parishioners will be admitted to school after
completing the registration required by the school office.
However, some general conditions for admission include, but
are not limited to, current class size, academic history,
behavioral history, and special learning needs. All records
must be submitted before final approval of acceptance is
given. The administration holds the right to require
assessment for entrance into its academic program. All
students must meet school standards.

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS
|
|
The following
ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS are required for admission:
-
Presentation of an original, official birth certificate
-
Baptismal certificate
-
Academic and all other pertinent school records. The family must provide evidence that the student is in good
standing at his/her prior school, showing satisfactory achievement in conduct, effort and the academic subjects. It is the
responsibility of the principal to make decisions concerning the acceptance of applicants.
-
Immunization and other health records
-
Psychological evaluations and/or Special Education records
-
Confirmation of Parish Registration and a signed
Subsidy Card for all Catholic applicants
 If class size requires a
waiting list to be established, the list will be generated
for each grade on a first come - first served basis, based
on those families meeting the Admission Policy criteria. The
waiting list is generated each academic year and is not
carried over from one academic year to the next. This policy
gives equal opportunity to all parishioners...
Although Saint Henry School attempts to meet the needs of
its students, it is not equipped to serve students with
severe learning disabilities. Parents are asked to supply
all pertinent information having impact on the school’s
ability to provide for the child’s needs. Special academic
and/or psychological evaluation may be required.
All admissions are subject to the approval of the Principal
and are based on such criteria as:
-
Active/contributing
parish membership
-
School records
- Academic
- Psychological
- Attendance
- Conduct
-
Reason (when
applicable) for not previously attending Saint Henry
School
-
Predetermined class
size.
Incoming students in grades 1-8 and parents of these
students will be required to schedule a conference with
the Principal prior to final acceptance and admission.
The student will also be asked to spend the day in the
classroom at Saint Henry School. Kindergarten students
who transfer to Saint Henry School during the school
year will follow the same procedure.
Children who reach the age of five years by September 30
may be admitted to a kindergarten program. Readiness
testing is used to determine the developmentally
appropriate placement in the kindergarten program.
The admissions policy for Saint Henry School adheres to
the laws of the State of Tennessee and the Department of
Catholic Education, which determines the age for
admittance as well as health and academic records
required for admittance.

TUITION |
|
As a parish school, we have a vital relationship with
Saint Henry Parish. The school exists as a ministry of
the Parish – we would not be here without the church.
Parish financial support of the school represents 14% of
the school budget. Families that participate in parish
life receive a reduced tuition rate. Tuition rates are
approved by the finance committee in February.

PARISH SUBSIDY
CARD SYSTEM
|
|
 As part of Saint Henry School’s Tuition Policy and Schedule, we initiated the “Card System.” Almost all diocesan schools are presently using a “Card System.” This system can be very effective for the viability of our mission and management of the school. The card system is used by Catholic families who wish to qualify for the reduced tuition rate.
What is a “Card System?”
By definition, the card system is an administrative procedure to ensure that our students and parents understand their
responsibility to be active in their Parish. The card system requires that each family complete a card pledging to comply
with simple, yet very important, expectations:
-
To attend Mass faithfully in their Parish.
-
To actively support their Parish community to the best of their ability.
-
To use their Parish envelope system on a regular basis.
The
Subsidy card must be signed by your Pastor, or delegate. The completed and signed card qualifies the family for the
Participating/Contributing Tuition Rate. This procedure is required each year for the upcoming academic year for both
new families and families currently enrolled.
Without the card signed and returned, the family will be charged according to the non-participating tuition rate. The signed subsidy card also verifies the family’s parish membership and support of the Parish/School by participation in their activities.
The subsidy card should be filled out, signed and delivered to the parish office at the same time as you register your
children for school. Signed cards will be sent to the school office. If there are any questions with your subsidy, you will
be contacted by the Subsidy Review Committee.
If you are a member of another parish, please have your pastor sign your card and then bring it to the St. Henry Parish
Office or the school office as soon as possible.
If you are a NEW MEMBER OF ST. HENRY PARISH or just moving into this area, please register at the Church office
(fill out a census card available in the Parish Office) and have your previous pastor write a letter of introduction stating
that you were an active/contributing member of the Parish. This letter should be addressed to Sister
Ann Hyacinth, O.P.,
Principal, or Rev. Michael Johnston, Pastor.
