• Accept baptized Catholic brothers/sisters of students currently enrolled at St. Gabriel Parish.
• Accept baptized Catholic brothers/sisters of students formerly enrolled at St. Gabriel whose parents are registered parish members.
• Accept baptized Catholic students based on length of parents’ active participation in the parish.
• Accept students from Catholic parishes that do not have any affiliation with a school.
• Accept transfers from other Catholic schools.
• Accept other Catholic students.
• Accept non-Catholic students from churches affiliated with Highview United Ministries on a tuition basis.
• St. Gabriel School will not accept transfers after the fifth grade unless one of the following is true:
  
  • Student is relocating from another Catholic School
  • Student is an active member of the parish and participating in the Religious Education program
• Students are accepted at the discretion of administration. All new students will be on a three month probation period.
  

Prior to admitting a student with a diagnosed disability, St. Gabriel will consider:

• The severity and degree of the disability.
• The level of support needed from special services or any special equipment the student may require.
• The number of students with disabilities currently enrolled in an assigned class. It is recommended by the
  Archdiocese that no more than 10-15% of students with disabilities be enrolled in any one classroom.

Fr. John brings the Mass down to the student's level
both physically and verbally,
delivering the homily on a level they will understand.
