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:
-
-
-
STEP 1:The first priority is given to those students already enrolled at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School who are continuing to the next grade level.
-
STEP 2:If there is room left, then priority will be given to those who apply during the priority window and whose families are registered in the parish that have siblings attending the school. Priority in this step is given based on the length of time a family has been registered in the parish.
-
STEP 3:If there is room left, the next priority will be given to those children whose applications were received during the priority window that do not have siblings already attending the school. Priority in this step is given based on the length of time a family has been registered in the parish.
-
STEP 4:If there is room left, the next priority is given to those children whose applications were received outside of the priority window. Priority in this step is also given based on the length of time a family has been registered with the parish.
If there is no room, the children are placed on a waiting list. Families on the waiting list must re-apply each year to remain on the waiting list.
-
-
-
School and/or Parish personnel will maintain the records and waiting lists that may be needed to administer this policy. At the time the application 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, as long as the family re-applies for the student within the priority 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.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
-
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.
