THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS

At St. James Preschool, we have streamlined the enrollment process to give parents a quick turnaround on space availability for your child.  We guarantee a prompt response once you have submitted your application during our two enrollment weeks.

Priority Applications

January 23 – 27, 2012

As a courtesy, we provide Priority registration to returning St. James Preschool students, children of active members of St James Church and siblings of current or former students..  A non-refundable application fee of $40.00 must accompany the application and we will begin accepting applications on January 23. Priority applicants will be notified of acceptance by February 1, 2012. If we receive a Priority application after January 28, 2011, it will go into the general application pool.

General Applications

For those who don’t fall into the above category, you may submit a General application during the week beginning January 30, 2012.  Applications may be submitted in person or by mail to the school or church office.  A non-refundable application fee of $40.00 must accompany the application.  General applicants will be notified of status no later than February 10, 2012. Final acceptances and schedules will be confirmed by mail. For the Multi-age program, a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 will be due within 5 days of notification to secure enrollment.  The non-refundable deposit for all Four Year Old classes is $1000.00.  Every attempt will be made to accommodate scheduling requests.
