Sommerville Community:

Our primary goal in the admission process is twofold.  First, can the prospective student's needs be properly met.  Second, will the student be a good fit with the school's values, rigorous academic program, and behavioural standards.  The determination of this goal is made via the following process:

• Comprehensive tour of the school facility

• Interview with parent and child by the Principal and/or Vice Principal.

• Important information needs to be collected: student information and health history, family contact information, emergency contact information, consent forms, copy of birth certificate, immunization records, etc.

• Application for admission submitted - all paperwork to be completed

• Review of relevant materials (report cards, psycho-educational assessments, IEP or other educational issues) will be completed by Sommerville administrators

• Student assessment visit whereby the student attends regular classes with Sommerville students for one or two days. This presents many opportunities to assess the child within the environment in which they will be learning if their application is accepted, it also offers an opportunity to the child to discover more about Sommerville

• In the higher grades the student will complete an entrance assessment to determine capability in Language Arts and Mathematics. In order to be considered for admission to Sommerville, the student's language proficiency must be fluent and age appropriate as we do not offer any ESL programs.

• Students applying for admission to the higher grades will need to have their current school complete a Confidential School Report form which is mailed directly to Sommerville from the student's current school.

• An application fee of $50 must be submitted with the application for each family to cover the cost of processing the application.

Once we have affirmed the primary goal, then the student is offered a place in the school if there are available places at the required grade level.  If no places are available, the child's name can be added to a waiting list for that grade.

Registration

Once a child has been offered a place, the registration process begins:

• Official records from your child's previous school need to be obtained

• Uniform order form (or order online) which needs to be given directly to Beatties.

• You will be given a parent handbook and the behaviour management plan booklet

• $1000 non-refundable deposit that will be applied toward school fees

Once the student begins attending the school, it is important during this transition process that parents and school staff remain in close contact.  Any concerns, questions, or successes should be communicated and addressed in a timely manner.
