All
new students are required to have a complete physical before starting
St. Francis Cathedral School. 
Students
coming from out of state or an area of high incidence rate within the
state must have a Mantoux Test within six months of starting school.
The State of New Jersey designates these areas.
In
order to plan for the following year, every family in the school will
be required during the month of March to re-register their children
for the next school year. The registration fee per child should accompany
the registration form.
All
registration forms must be completed and returned to the School Office
in order for the student to be on a class list. Please call our offices
if you need application forms or information. The forms are also on-line
at Registration Forms.
