“The cause of Catholic education is the cause of Jesus Christ
and His Gospel at the service of man.”
-- Pope John Paul II

Dear Prospective Parent,

As parents you know it is not enough to give your child an education, you must also provide them with a formation in values upon which to build their lives. This is what sets Catholic schools apart from others…this is how ICS makes the difference. At Immaculate Conception School your children are provided with a spiritual and academic-based education, as they are allowed to learn and live according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

What your child learns at ICS will remain with them well beyond their years at our school, as Catholic school students develop a personal spirituality that helps them respond to God’s plan for their lives. In an imperfect world, we want to give your child the tools to lead a good life. The work of our principal, teachers and staff is a ministry to your children for which they commit themselves as they provide your children with values, knowledge and skills to succeed in their journey of life.

The Immaculate Conception School Board, Father Carl, and Mr. Kish, would like to extend our appreciation to you for your interest in our school.

The application process is simple and strictly confidential. Since the application is mailed direct to the company administering the scholarship program, no one at school or in the parish sees your application. We want your child to be part of the ICS family, so please do not hesitate to apply.

What else do I need to register my child?
You are asked to submit a copy of your child's birth certificate and baptismal certificate with the registration papers.

Must a student pass a test before attending ICS.?
If you are registering for admission into Kindergarten, your child must attend Kindergarten Pre-Screening in the spring. This is an opportunity for your son/daughter to check for readiness and become familiar with the Kindergarten staff and for you to meet with the principal. This year's Pre-School Peek is January 28, at 12:15 p.m.
