In an effort to make our enrollment as fair and accessible as possible, Saint Kilian Parish School registration takes place entirely online that generally takes place in late January / early February.
Once your application is completed, tuition deposits are non-refundable. Parent refund requests will not be considered. Saint Kilian Parish School only refunds the tuition deposit if the requested grade level is full and we cannot accommodate your child or if Saint Kilian Parish School declines acceptance to your child.
Registration opens at 7:00am SKPS time on the first morning of each phase specified below and closes at 11:59pm on the scheduled phase end date specified below. Forms cannot be submitted without payment verification. Please note that we do not offer paper registration forms or accept cash or checks for tuition deposits. Payment must be made online at the time of form submission via Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover. Forms cannot be submitted without verified payment.
Applicants who do not receive a confirmed spot will be placed on the waitlist in the order of which their original application request was received. There is no charge to waitlist a child; therefore, any paid tuition deposit(s) will be refunded within 30 days.
Saint Kilian Parish School is a ministry of Saint Kilian Parish. The resources to sustain the school are provided by:
The mission of Saint Kilian Parish School is to provide a quality education in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the tradition of the Catholic Church. Saint Kilian Parish School achieves this mission in direct collaboration with every other ministry of Saint Kilian Parish as well as the mission of goals of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.
In light of that mission, Saint Kilian Parish School has established an Admissions and Enrollment policy which seeks to:
While Saint Kilian Parish School accepts students from any background or faith tradition, it does so in the light of the above provisions. This means that while as far as possible acceptance into the school is based on objectivity and fairness, the school reserves the right to make decisions regarding admissions and enrollment that best reflects its mission and the provisions above.
Saint Kilian Parish School does not discriminate on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin in the administration of our educational policies, admission policies, athletic or other school administered programs. All students have the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to all students formally accepted into the school. Students in grades 1 – 8 are not formally accepted until completing a probationary period equivalent to two report periods. Children who are not Catholic are expected to participate in religion classes and to respectfully attend all religious functions of the school.
If you have questions regarding this policy, please contact Mrs. Wioskowski, School Office Manager, or Father Bober, Pastor.
NEW STUDENTS
RETURNING STUDENTS
Registration details are as follows:
Phase 1: Re-Enrollment
Currently enrolled Saint Kilian Parish School students in good standing.
Re-enrollment opens at 7:00am and closes on 11:59pm.
Current families will login to the Parent Portal where a re-enrollment link will be posted both on the main page and on the Student Dashboard page, to direct the family to the re-enrollment form. Families will need to submit a re-enrollment form for each student who is currently a student at the school.
A non-refundable tuition deposit of $150 per student is required to re-enroll. This tuition deposit will be deducted from the student’s tuition for the 2020 - 21 school year. If the student chooses not to attend Saint Kilian Parish School, the tuition deposit is not refundable.
After you complete the re-enrollment form, you will receive an 'Acknowledgement' email message letting you know your form has been received. As long as you meet all of the following requirements by the due date specified, then your student's seat for next year will be confirmed:
Seats that are not confirmed will be offered to waiting list families.
Additionally, confirmed students will NOT be allowed to start school if the following documents are not provided by August 15 of the upcoming school year:
Phase 2: General Registration
Registration for new students begins at 7:00am. All students who are not currently attending Saint Kilian Parish School are invited to register online. Families will need to submit a registration form for each student. A $150 non-refundable tuition deposit per student is required to submit the registration form.
Registration Confirmation and Waitlists
All new students who registered will receive either an Acknowlegment Letter (indicating that the student has a reserved seat at Saint Kilian Parish School for the upcoming school year) or a Waitlist Letter indicating that the student has been put on a waitlist for the upcoming school year.
Acknowledgment Letter Information
Families receiving an Acknowledgment letters will have 2 weeks to return required documentation to secure their child's seat for the upcoming school year. Required documentation information and forms will accompany the Acknowledgment Letter (see Required Documentation lists above on this webpage). Once ALL the required documentation and forms have been received and reviewed, your child will receive a confirmed seat for the school year and you will receive a formal Confirmation letter. Failure to return ALL the required documentation and forms by the due date will result in forfeiture of your child's reserved seat as well as the $150 non-refundable tuition deposit for the upcoming school year.
Waitlist Letter Information
If a student has been waitlisted, the $150 non-refundable tuition deposit will be refunded within 30 days.
While it is our desire to accommodate all families and students, once a grade levels capacity is full, registration for that grade will close and parents trying to register their child will be redirected to the waitlist for that grade. We only take 20 prospective students per waitlist. Once 20 prospects have waitlisted, the waitlist will be closed entirely. There is no fee to add your name to the waitlist.
Should you register a child during our registration period and receive a letter that your child has been waitlisted, your registration fee will be refunded within 30 days.
If your child is on a waitlist, please understand this is because our enrollment is full. There is no guarantee a spot will open and we encourage you to make other arrangements for the school year. A spot would only become available to a waitlisted child if an enrolled child forfeited their confirmed seat. While this does happen from time to time as people move, etc., there is no guarantee and we cannot speculate on this matter.
Waitlisted families need not contact our office to check in as we will be unable to provide information regarding where you are on the waitlist, how many people are ahead of you on a waitlist, or provide speculation as to whether we feel a spot will open for you. We are committed to contact you the second a spot becomes available.
Should your child be placed on our waitlist, we invite you to explore the many other wonderful Catholic schools the Diocese of Pittsburgh has to offer. Please click here for area school listings in our Diocese.
