Prospective Students - Registration

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
