Timeline for 2023-24 School Year Application
1st Step -- Completing the Application
Applying is free. Applications are done online on TADS, the school's admissions-enrollment management system. Applications are unnecessary for children already enrolled in the school.
School Records Release Form -- Complete, sign, and upload the Release of Information Form 19, which is part of the application on TADS. We send the completed form to your child's school with a request for school records. It takes about a week for the records to arrive. The release form is required for admissions, except in preschool.
Birth Certificate -- This must be uploaded on the TADS application.
Applications are reviewed after application requirements are met. Some application notices may begin to go out in December. Applications for grades 1-8 may begin to go out in February.
2nd Step -- After Acceptance -- Registration
The acceptance notice from TADS will include instructions on paying a registration fee and enrolling your child for the school year. Please complete the enrollment information carefully. If you have more than one child, you must enroll each child one at a time. Please also complete the parish verification form if you request a lower tuition rate for your child as a member of a parish in the Archdiocese of Washington. During enrollment, parents will be asked to upload immunization forms.
3rd Step -- Tuition Agreement
Tuition payment plans are sent by TADS email to registered families starting on April 3. Those who haven't received payment plans by April 14 should contact Kathleen Brown at kbrown@sjbssparish.org. The tuition payment options can also be accessed directly through your TADS account. Select a tuition payment plan and submit it on TADS by Monday, May 8. There's a fee if the agreement is submitted late.
Enrollment is complete when the tuition payment agreement has been submitted.
If your child was accepted after February...
... there will be a two-week period for paying the registration fee and selecting a tuition plan from the acceptance date.
