2023/2024 School Year
We are now accepting applications for our 2023/2024. Apply using the link below.

** Please Note: Our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program is now FULL for the 23-24 school year. Additional applicants will be wait-listed and notified if a space opens.**

We are now accepting applications for new students. Once your application is reviewed and your child has been accepted, our office will send you an enrollment packet to complete. Your student’s spot in our school will be reserved once we receive the completed enrollment packet and enrollment fee of $200. For your reference, these are the Priority Factors for enrollment:

After the general and admission requirements set forth are met, priority for admission will be determined in the following order:

  • Students currently enrolled in the school (Early preschool through seventh grade).
  • Siblings of students at SSM.
  • Children of faculty.
  • Involvement in volunteer efforts in the parish and school.
  • Length of registered membership in SSM, as determined by census card (with the greatest length being given priority).
  • Families with children previously enrolled in the school must pay enrollment fees by February 22nd, or make payment arrangements with the school Principal or their place in the school may be given to a child on the waiting list.

The Pastor, based on the factors set forth above, will determine a waiting list for admissions. SSM reserves the right to exclude any student demonstrating he or she is unwilling or unable to handle the school’s academic, religious, and discipline expectations or requirements. The decision on whether to exclude a student will be made by the Pastor and Principal.

The below 2023/2024 school year tuition rates were approved by the Parish Finance Council on Jan. 26, 2023. A $200, non-refundable enrollment fee per student is required at the time of enrollment to reserve their spot.
