If your child is applying for Kindergarten, they must be five years old by September 1st and have a pre-school recommendation. Students who turn five between September 1, 2012 and December 1, 2012 will need to apply to our Transitional Kindergarten Program. In early March, all TK and Kindergarten students will be screened for readiness.


1st - 8th Grades

Also, in early March, we will give assessments for students applying to 1st - 8th grades. After receiving your completed application packet, we will contact you regarding the testing date and time. After your application and assessment are reviewed, our Principal will personally meet with you and your student. These interviews will take place by the end of March.


Enrollment Priority

St. Francis Elementary School gives enrollment priority to siblings of current students, registered parishioners from St. Francis Parish, students transferring from other Catholic schools, and Catholic families who are registered in other parishes.



Thank you, again, for your interest in our school community. We look forward to working with you and your family!

The Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is doubt, faith;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
As to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
