About Holy Redeemer Catholic School

Admissions Process for New Students
Holy Redeemer School Welcomes New Students.
Application/registration packets are available NOW for the coming school year. This year we are in the process of having the forms online that can be filled out, printed, signed and returned to Holy Redeemer School. For now you may request an application packet directly from the school. 503-283-5197

Families are asked to complete the forms, and return them to the school office, along with the application fee. Once the application has been submitted, families with students entering first through eighth grade will be contacted to schedule a visit for a half day or whole day, depending on the age of the student. During that visit students are assessed in math, reading, vocabulary and writing to determine placement. They will also be interviewed briefly by a classroom teacher. Upon completion of an assessment, families will receive a written acceptance or regrets letter from the school.

Prospective kindergarten families will receive a letter once students are accepted. Your child will spend half a day with the kindergarten teacher and half of the incoming class so that the teacher can learn what skills the students have in place as they enter kindergarten. These dates are determined in May.

Prekindergarten students are not assessed before the school year begins. Families will receive an acceptance letter from the school once the application is complete.

The Order for Accepting Students, K through 8:
Current Holy Redeemer School Families
Holy Redeemer Parish Families
Catholic Families not from Holy Redeemer Parish
Families from the Community
Prekindergarten Students
Acceptance is based on available spaces

Once a class is full, your child will be placed on a wait list.
