ADMISSIONS
Enrollment
Students are accepted at CPRS on the basis of an interview with each family and the administration. All prospective students must be present during the interview.
Final acceptance is based on the interview, previous records, testing results, administrative approval, and financial approval. Students who have been expelled from any school must wait a minimum of one semester after expulsion before CPRS will consider enrollment. The family will be notified as to acceptance of the student. The parents and students must agree to uphold the programs of the school and show support for school policies.
Preschool enrollment usually starts at the beginning of March each year. Class size is limited to 10 students. Classes will be a choice between full or half-days on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Kindergarten enrollment takes place in mid to late April for the following school year. Beginning in late February, parents may schedule an appointment for the KIDS test (Kindergarten Inventory Development Skills). This test is given to all potential kindergarten students to measure gross and fine motor skills as well as other general kindergarten readiness factors. Children must be 5 years old on or before July 31 of the school year. To enter 1st grade, a student must be 6 years old on or before July 31 of the school year.
Re-enrollment begins mid to late April each year. Students who are currently enrolled at CPRS have a few week time frame during which they may re-enroll. Accounts must be paid current to re-enroll. If any student has 25 or more demerits, 10 or more tardies or absences for the year, and/or a GPA below 2.0, admission will be determined by the School Administrator.
Open Enrollment begins after the few week re-enrollment period ends – usually around the first week of May.
Students may enroll at CPRS for the current year at any time during the school year. If a class has reached capacity, new enrollment applicants will be considered by the administration on a case-by-case basis.
Application Process
Individuals wishing to enroll a student should contact the CPRS school office for information or to schedule an appointment for an interview and visit.
