  • If room is available, students who otherwise qualify and whose families are registered and active parishioners in St. Bruno Parish will be accorded the next level of preference.
  • If room is available, transferring students who qualify and whose families registered in the parish and become active will be accorded the next level of preference.
  • If room is available, qualifying students from neighboring Catholic parishes without a parish school will be accorded the next level of preference.

ST. BRUNO SCHOOL STUDENT NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single sex schools.

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

All students and parents are required to abide by the Code of Christian Conduct.
