CUSTODY NOTICE:  It is the responsibility of the custodial parent to furnish the school with a copy of the custody section of the divorce decree. This school abides by the provisions of the Buckley Amendment with respect to the rights of the non-custodial parent. In the absence of a court order to the contrary, the school will provide the non-custodial parent with access to the academic records and to other school-related information regarding the child. If there is a court order specifying that there is to be no information given, it is the responsibility of the custodial parent to provide the school with an official copy of the court order. This also applies to guardianship.

In the case of a student transferring from another Archdiocesan Catholic school, the principal will investigate the status (academic, financial obligations, and discipline) of the student by conferring with the previous principal, and by reviewing the report card and pertinent records.

5. Children of non-territorial parishioners of a parish without a school or no room in their territorial parish school who are deemed active by their pastor;
