How to Register

Bishop Baraga Catholic School is dedicated to ensuring a quality education for all
families willing to enter into a partnership to develop each child to his or her fullest
spiritual and academic potential. By enrolling in Bishop Baraga School, students and
their parents or guardians accept and agree to abide by the requirements, policies, and
regulations of Bishop Baraga Catholic School and the Diocese of Gaylord. Bishop
Baraga Catholic School is open to students whose needs can be met by our school staff
without jeopardizing the education of other students.

Bishop Baraga Catholic School does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender,
national origin, age (in accordance with the law), or special needs condition (if, with
reasonable accommodation on the part of the school, the person could be
accommodated), in compliance with all requirements and regulations of the U.S.
Department of Education and Federal Regulations. Our school will also not deny
admission to students because of a demonstrated financial need.
The primary factor considered for families enrolling their children in Bishop Baraga
Catholic School will be the presence of other siblings within the school. These
families will be allowed to register first during In-school Registration. Registration
fees are nonrefundable.

Open Registration will follow the specific day set aside for In-School Registration.
All registration dates will be advertised in our church bulletin and bulletins of other
Catholic churches, the
Baraga Buzz, local newspapers and by means of an
advertising sign placed in front of the school. Letters are also enclosed in the
second quarter report cards, or mailed to all identified parishioners of 3, 4 and
5-year-olds for preschool registration.

Bishop Baraga Preschool is a separate program from the elementary school and
operates on a first-come, first-served basis during both the In-School and Open
Registration periods. Registration forms are numbered for this purpose. The
registration fee is nonrefundable.

Each family is required to pay a $25.00 Technology fee, due at the time of
registration for K-6.

Nonrefundable registration fees are $35.00 per child, due at the time of
registration.

Children being registered for kindergarten must be 5 years old by December 1st
and must have the following at the time of registration:
- Official State Birth Certificate with Seal (available from County Clerk’s Office)
- Baptismal Certificate (if applicable)
- Up-to-date Immunization Record
