Parent(s) are registered members of St. John Parish.

• The parent(s) contributes time and talent to St. John Parish, when able.
  
• The parent(s) supports St. John Parish financially through responsible stewardship and the use of the weekly church envelope. (Consideration will be given to Catholic families new to the area who provide documentation of active parish support from their previous parish and who register in St. John Parish.)

St. John School Waiting List Process

Names on the waiting list are catalogued and prioritized in the following manner.

1. School Families with a sibling to attend St. John School

2. Active Parishioners, as defined in the Admissions Policy

3. Inactive Parishioners

4. Catholics from other parishes

5. Non-Catholic families

The waiting list is prioritized by the date that the active parish member contacts the school office to put the child’s name on the list. When registration begins, and/or an opening occurs, the parent(s) is contacted, according to the prioritized list, to begin the registration process.

If a non-parishioner parent(s) registers in St. John Parish and fulfills the requirements of active parishioner status, as defined in the Admissions Policy, the child’s name is placed on the Active Parishioner Waiting List using the date of registration in the parish as the new date in the priority listing.

If an inactive parishioner parent(s) fulfills the requirements of active parishioner status for a minimum of six months, as defined in the Admissions Policy, the parent may contact the school office to have the child’s name placed on the Active Parishioner Waiting List.
