STEP 4 - SIGN CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT
Saints Simon and Jude School utilizes a "Continuous Enrollment" concept for students enrolled in our school. Continuous Enrollment assumes that once enrolled, a child will continue their education until graduation from eighth grade. Since most of our families remain year after year, this streamlines the enrollment process by reducing time and paperwork for parents and the school staff.
