K8 Admissions Policy & Timeline

ICD Catholic School Policy of Admission for Kindergarten through 8th grade. Approved by School Board 2018:

Priority of acceptance and enrollment of students expressing interest in attending ICD's K8 School will be offered based on the following stipulations, in the order they are listed. 

  1. Active Parishioner families with children already attending Immaculate Conception Catholic School, preschool through 8th
  2. Parishioners of Immaculate Conception, Dardenne
  3. Non-parishioner Catholic with written permission from their pastor.
  4. Non-Catholics. Parents of non-Catholic students must agree to their children’s religious education and participation in religious activities.
    1. Acceptance of non-Catholic students may not be confirmed until August 1st of the coming school year. 
 
If you require clarification on any of these policies, please contact the ICD School Office.
For students transferring to ICD K8 School from another school, either at the beginning of the year or mid-year, initial acceptance can be offered based on grade level availability.
 
Final acceptance is based on the following:
  • A review of academic records. For students joining ICD at the beginning of an academic year, ICD will not request records from the previous school until the prior year is concluded.
  • A successful shadow-day experience with a current ICD student.
  • A family meeting with our Principal.
 
If final acceptance to a transferring middle school student is offered after this records review, shadow day, and meeting, it is offered on a 90-school-day probationary basis, which would begin with the first day of school attendance. Periodic reviews of this status are facilitated through evaluations of academic performance, conduct and behavior, and adjustment and acclimation to our school and culture.
 
If you require clarification on any of these policies, please contact the ICD School Office.
