FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

1. My child has been accepted, how does the enrolling process begin?

Once you have been accepted, you should confirm your acceptance by completing the online enrollment form and paying your registration fee.  To reserve your space, online enrollment must be completed by due date.

2. Will my child need a placement test?

Readiness Tests are offered in April for enrolled students entering in the fall. Testing is required for students who have taken Algebra I, Geometry, Spanish I, Latin I, or Chinese I and wishes to advance to the Honors level of the next course within the departmental curriculum.  Any student wishing to be enrolled in Pre-AP English I is required to take an English writing proficiency test.

3. Do I need to submit Immunization Records, Vision, Hearing and Scoliosis Screens?

Yes! Every student enrolled in a Catholic school in the Diocese of Austin must be immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases according to the schedule for schools adopted by the Texas Department of Health. The only acceptable exemption is for medical reasons, which must be documented by a Texas licensed physician. St. Dominic Savio will request a copy of student immunization records, vision screening, hearing screening and scoliosis screening after an enrollment space has been offered and accepted. Additional details on due date and instructions on how to upload health records will be provided upon enrollment. To preview the forms, visit the Parent Resources Tab.
