Elementary Admissions

The Lafayette Catholic School System has a selective admissions policy in that all students applying must be approved for acceptance for admission by the designated school principal.
Applications for all elementary grades for the following school year will be accepted beginning on Kindergarten Round-up. Applications for admission are accepted in order of receipt to the school system.
While we make every effort is made to meet the school request of the parents, it is the responsibility of the school system to operate at optimum efficiency. Occasions may occur where a grade will fill to capacity at one elementary school and new students will be asked to attend the elementary school where openings exist in that grade.
