St. Pius X Regional School exists to supplement the efforts of Catholic parents in the raising and formation of their children according to the message and teaching of Jesus Christ, as proposed by the Church. The School's chief value, therefore, and its primary obligation, is to parents whose commitment to this philosophy is evidenced by their being registered, practicing and contributing members of their local parish. Hence, In our admission policy, while no child is barred from admission, preferential consideration will, nevertheless, be given to members of the four supporting parishes (Ascension, Sacred Heart, St. Edward's and St.Pius X). Members, as defined by the Pastors of these four parishes, will be given first preference in admission to the School. Should there be insufficient space to enroll all members of the supporting parishes desiring admission, admission and continuing enrollment win be determined in the following manner:
- Students already enrolled in St. Pius X Regional School (K-8) from the previous year whose parents are known to be registered, practicing and regular, consistent, contributing members of their local parish by their use of weekly or monthly envelopes
- Children from participating parishes who have brothers or sisters in the school (K-8), whose parents are known to be registered, practicing and regular, consistent, contributing members of their local parish by their use of weekly or monthly envelopes
- Other children from participating parishes whose parents are known to be registered, practicing and regular, consistent, contributing members of their local parish through their use of weekly or monthly envelopes
- Children, with the recommendation of their Pastor, who are from outside the participating four parishes who have brothers or sisters enrolled in the school
- Other children, with the recommendation of their Pastor, who are from other parishes within the diocese
- Other children, with the recommendation of their pastor who are from parishes outside the Washington Archdiocese
- Non-Catholic children who have brothers or sisters already attending the school
- Non-Catholic children

While children of Regional parishioners and their siblings are given every consideration, other factors including, but not limited to, behavior, academic assessments and records influence admission. |
