Christ Our Savior Catholic School does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, or national or ethnic origin in administration or hiring practices, educational policies, admission policies, loan programs, athletics, or other school administered policies.

Schools operating under the auspices of the Catholic Bishop of Chicago, a corporation sole, in the Archdiocese of Chicago, admit students of any race, color, sex, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students in these schools. Archdiocesan schools do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, or national ethnic origins in administration of school-administered programs.

Age Requirement

The law in Illinois mandates that students must reach the required age for the grade they are entering on or before September 1st. This cut-off date is observed with no exceptions.

Children entering school for the first time must present:

  1. An official copy of the birth certificate.
  2. The baptismal record (if applicable).
  3. A record of compliance with local and State of Illinois health,dental and eye exam requirements.
  4. New students moving into the area may register at any time during the school year as space allows.

Admission of Transfer Students

For admission of transfer students, parents or guardians must present the proper transfer, the previous year's report card or the current report card if the student is transferring midyear, a copy of the most current standardized test scores, and be interviewed along with the child or children by the Campus Principal. Upon written request, all records from the previous school, including health and dental records, are transferred.

New students entering the school will be accepted on probation until all records have been received from the previous school. Transfer students are not ordinarily accepted for Grade 8. Exceptions will be made at the discretion of the Campus Principal. Students expelled from another school are not ordinarily accepted.

Priority of Acceptance

Priority of admission to Pre-School through Grade 8 is as follows:

  1. Baptized children of Active parishioners with children already enrolled.
  2. Baptized children of Active parishioners now reaching school age.
  3. Transfer students from the local public schools whose parents or guardians are Active parishioners.
  4. Children of Non-Active parishioners.
  5. Transfer students from other Catholic schools or
  6. from schools that are merging or consolidating
  7. or from schools not offering full programs or parishes with no schools.
  8. Transfer students who are new to the area whose parents or guardians join the parish.
  9. Transfer students who are new to the area whose parents or guardians wish to remain Non-Active, Non Parishioner or are Non-Catholic.

Registration

Registration begins in February for all students currently enrolled at the East and West campuses. The numbers compiled from the registration forms are used in knowing how many new students may be accepted and for ordering books and supplies for the next year.

A child will not be accepted for the new school year or a registration taken if tuition, fees or fundraising from the previous year are not current. New students and their families may begin the registration process at the beginning of March. The Campus Principal must interview all new families before registration and acceptance are granted. At the interview families must submit original birth certificates, current report cards (and a previous year's report card if available), and any standardized test scores.
