Holy Trinity School gives preference
to siblings of current students, children of faculty and
staff, and parishioners of Holy Trinity Parish.
Parents of students enrolling for the first
time shall provide birth, baptismal, and medical records,
which indicate the completion of a physical and the necessary
immunization required for school entrance.
Parents shall complete an application form
and state any medical, physical, emotional, or academic
needs, which may require special attention. An emergency
card must be completed. Truth in reporting is important
to enrollment and continued acceptance.
Students entering from another school must
bring their last report card or some other indication of
their placement in their present school. More extensive
records may be obtained later. The parent should fill out
a record release form to initiate the transfer process.
Please realize all acceptances are conditional
and rooted in the student’s ability to adhere to rules
and regulations as outlined in the student handbook. Further
condition is dependent upon the school’s ability to
provide the proper academic program suited for the needs
of each child. The principal shall make final decisions
in all matters regarding discernment.
Parents of a student entering Holy Trinity
for the first time shall provide the student’s health
records, which indicate the completion of a recent physical
examination and the necessary immunization(s) required for
school entrance.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health
requires specific immunizations for students at particular
grade levels. The Department of Education shall keep a current
listing of the required immunizations, and the head of school
shall be familiar with those requirements.
Physical examinations are also required at
three or four-year intervals after a student’s physical
examination upon entrance into a school. (For example, during
kindergarten, fourth grade and seventh grade) Where appropriate,
the principal should follow the guidelines governing the
public school district in which the school is located to
identify grade levels in which student physical examinations
should be conducted.
AGE FOR SCHOOL ENTRANCE
School entrance age shall be the same as
that determined by the public school district in which the
Catholic school resides. Ages of students in other grades
shall be determined in the same way. Submission of a last
report card is necessary. The parent shall sign a Release
of Records Form at either school to initiate the transfer
process.
Physical exams are also required upon entering
kindergarten, fourth grade and seventh grade. Students entering
the seventh grade must receive the MMR Booster #2 (Measles,
Mumps, and Rubella) before the first day of school.
Students from non-traditional or alternative
educational programs; i.e., home schooling may be admitted
when parents have provided a written certification of the
child’s entry level readiness from their local school
superintendent. Assessment of program readiness shall be
made by Holy Trinity School.
