A Christ-centered community providing excellence in education to meet the needs of the whole child.
Dear Potential OLMC School Family,
It is a blessing you've found your way to us, we thank you for your interest in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School. OLMC is committed to partnering with parents to provide a quality education for the children whose academic, moral, and spiritual formation are entrusted to our care. Admission to the school is limited to families registered with Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish. The definition of a 'school family,' is a family with current school children or graduates who have remained continuously active members of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish. If that sounds like you, or something your family is interested in becoming, we welcome your application and hope to greet you as a new family in our OLMC School community.
Eternally grateful,
Our Lady of Mount Carmel School
PRIORITY ADMISSION POLICY GUIDELINES:
In situations where there are more applications for admission than there is room available in a class, the following priorities will be used to determine those who are admitted:
School and/or Parish personnel will maintain the records and waiting lists that may be needed to administer this policy. At the time the applicaiton process begins for a new school year, students who are already on a waiting list for a grade will automatically be given first priority on the waiting list for the next grade, if the family re-applies for the student within the application window. The school office will try to contact such families to make sure the student still wants to be admitted to the school.
The school administration will have the final decision on any admission matters, whether or not covered by this policy.
Admission to Our Lady of Mount Carmel School is limited to families who are registered in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish and are raising their children in the Catholic Faith. Our Lady of Mount Carmel School adheres to a policy of non-discrimination and shall admit students of any race, sex, color, or national or ethnic origin.
Applicants for Kindergarten must be five years old on or before August 1.
Applicants for grades 1-8* are accepted into the grade in which they are promoted by their previous school, providing there is an opening in the appropriate grade level (see Priority List above). Such acceptance is probationary and is made final only upon receipt of proper transfer of records from the former school and successful performance at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School.
* An interview is required of those students seeking entrance to grades 6-8. Acceptance of students transferring to these grade levels is rare and is discerned on an individual basis.
