About Seton Primary School

ENROLLMENT
Seton Catholic School welcomes and serves students of all faiths in the Richmond area. Students of other faiths who wish to participate in our school program may apply and (as long as adequate room is available) may be admitted to Seton Catholic School regardless of race, creed, or national origin. Catholic schools have not been, nor shall they become, havens for those wishing to avoid social problems confronting them in the public sector. Grievance procedures for violation of any article of Part 86, Rules & Regulations, Title IX, Federal Education Amendments of 1972 are on file in the principal's office.

Kindergarten students must: (1) be five years old by August 1(Seton Rule); (2) present a birth certificate, immunization and health record completed by a physician, and baptismal record prior to the first day of school. (Non-Catholic students are not required to present a baptismal certificate.)

Registration for the upcoming school year is conducted each spring.

In order to serve our school families better, Preschool and After-School Care are additional programs available to the parents of 3 and 4-year-old Seton students.

Preschool is an additional extended day program for Seton 4 year old students.
Parents may enroll their 4-year-olds in this program if space is available. Class times and days will be determined by enrollment. The activities in Preschool are geared to the natural developmental stages of growth in the preschool aged child. Additional information, registration materials, and a fee schedule are available at the administrative office.
