Registration

To register a new student in St. John School, parents must submit a copy of the child’s most recent report card, and then schedule an appointment for a grade level reading, English and math inventory of skills.

Children generally do better in the St. John School kindergarten program and in later grades if they are at least five years of age by September 1st. (The State of Michigan requires kindergarten children to be five years of age by December 1.)

Children of kindergarten age are scheduled for a kindergarten assessment, which offers information about a child’s maturational or behavioral age, separate from a child’s chronological age, achievement scores or intelligence. The developmental assessment measures specific behaviors, i.e. motor, personal-social, language and adaptive ability to learn with reasonable attention span and concentration, responsiveness to teaching, and attention to details and complexity.

The Junior Kindergarten program is designed for children of kindergarten age (five years of age by December 1st) that would benefit from a year of developmental, educational activities before entering the St. John School kindergarten program. Registration in JK is based on the recommendation of the St. John School Kindergarten Assessment Team. The Junior Kindergarten PM session is held five days per week.

When a child is approved for registration, the parent completes registration forms and returns them to the school office within one week. Registration is approved only when all required forms are completed and returned to the school office, previous St. John School accounts are paid in full, and responsible financial stewardship to the parish is ascertained.

Tuition - Parisher Tuition Requirements

Parents, who are active registered members of St. John the Evangelist Parish demonstrating responsible Christian stewardship, qualify for the parishioner tuition/fee rate for St. John School. Responsible stewardship is imperative for the life of our parish and school community.

To qualify for the parishioner tuition/fee rate, parents must:

  • Be registered members of St. John the Evangelist Parish, Fenton.
  • Regularly attend mass at St. John Parish each weekend, and form children in the Catholic faith in the home.
  • Contribute time and talents to support St. John Parish and School.
  • Support St. John Parish financially through responsible stewardship. The church fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

St. John the Evangelist Parish assists active parishioner families by subsidizing the per pupil educational cost. Inactive parishioners, and families not members of St. John Parish, pay the per pupil cost.
