Admissions
As a Catholic, non-public school dedicated to academic excellence within a disciplines, value-centered environment, the school actively seeks students and families who have a positive attitude toward the value of a traditional Catholic education.
Immunization Policy
Every student enrolled in a Catholic School in the State of Texas shall be immunized against vaccine preventable diseases caused by infectious agents in accordance with the immunization schedule adopted by the Texas Department of State Health Services. A student who fails to present the required evidence shall not be accepted for enrollment.
The only exception to the foregoing requirement is a medical exemption signed by a licensed physician (M.D. or D.O.) authorized to practice in the State of Texas, including the physicians license number.
Immunizations are not in conflict with the Catholic faith. Conscientious objections or waivers, which may be permissible for attendance in public schools, do not qualify as an exemption in Catholic Schools in Texas. (Texas Attorney General Opinion: GA-0420)
This policy was adopted by Texas Catholic Conference Education Department, December 2008 and voted on April 3, 2017 to keep as written with no changes by the Bishops of Texas.
Age Requirements
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School requires that a student entering the PK3 program be 3 years of age by September 1st. Students entering the PK4 program must be 4 years of age by September 1st. Students must be potty-trained. According to Texas State Law, a child must be 5 years of age by September 1st to enter Kindergarten. A child must be 6 years of age by September 1st to enter 1st grade.
Administration's Assessment
The most important qualification for acceptance into the school is the Administration's assessment that the applicant will enjoy a successful school experience. This assessment is made in consultation with the family, as well as through examination of the student's past academic and conduct records. The aforementioned records must be provided by parents prior to admission. If a child has been diagnosed with a learning difference, it is the parent's responsibility to notify the administration and submit documentation to the Learning Lab (preferably before assessment). All new students are conditionally admitted for the first nine weeks.
According to Diocesan Policy #5000, attending a Catholic school is a privilege and not a right of a student. The conduct of a student or the parent of the student may cause the student to lose the privilege of attending St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School.
Non-discriminatory Policy
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal statutes of non-discrimination in its employment and admission practices. It admits qualified students of any race, color, sex, national or ethnic origins to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students of the school.
