A careful review of all required information will follow. Review does not guarantee admission to St. Alban's Episcopal Day School, Inc. There will be a six-week probationary period during which the child's adjustment to St. Alban's will be closely monitored. At the end of this period, a conference will be held with the parents, the teacher, and the Head of School if deemed necessary. If the student has been unable to adjust to the academic or social environment, or to the structure and discipline of the school, the school has the prerogative to ask the parent to withdraw the student at this time.
No child shall be considered and registered until the following are on file in the school office:
1. A complete application with the registration fee.
2. A current immunization record.
3. A birth certificate for all new students.
Acceptance of an application or placement on the waiting list does not indicate acceptance for admission.
Teacher Placement
The placement of your child is a teacher decision. Please keep in mind that there are many factors that influence that decision. Please do not pressure the teachers or call the school office throughout the summer to find out which teacher your child will have in the fall. Final decisions are not made until August and are subject to the final approval of the Head of School. Please trust us to make sound educational decisions concerning your child.
