Our current student re-enrollment period will close at 3 p.m. on Jan. 22. While you may still re-register after this date, it will be dependent upon availability. We are already nearly full in some classes, so please be sure you have completed all of the steps below to reserve your space. If you do not complete re-enrollment by Jan. 22, the space will be open to one of our new applicants. If you have trouble meeting this deadline for any reason but you know you would like to return next year, please contact us immediately to discuss alternative arrangements.
To re-enroll current students for 2016-17:
1. Complete the Family Re-Enrollment Form online
2. Complete, sign and date the Enrollment Agreement for any returning students

4. Return the enrollment agreement and TB form with a registration fee payment of

**REMINDER: If all four of the above steps are not completed by 3:00 p.m. on Fri., Jan. 22, 2016, you will forfeit the child’s space for 2016-17.**
If you would like to enroll the sibling of a current student, please submit the new student's application during our priority application period which closes Jan. 22. This will ensure our current families receive top priority in our admissions process.

Catholic Schools Week 2016
CtRCS is preparing to celebrate Catholic Schools Week 2016 with a week of special events celebrating our faith, parish community and Catholic education! Please have your child wear their uniform to Mass Saturday, Jan. 30 or at any of the Masses on Sunday, Jan. 31. Our choir will perform at the 11 a.m. Mass. The rest of our week includes the following events to celebrate Catholic education:
Monday, Feb. 1: Vocations Day - CtRCS will celebrate Vocations with speakers from our parish and around the Archdiocese! The panel will feature a priest, deacon, married couple, seminarian and single person discussing their commitment to the Church at their place in life. Speakers will visit with the younger students and will participate on the panel for upper grades.
Tuesday, Feb. 2: Living Rosary - Our Living Rosary allows CtRCS students to become the rosary as each student represents a bead. It is a prayerful, reflective time for our CtRCS community. Parents, parishioners and CtR staff are invited to join us.
Wednesday, Feb. 3: Grandparent’s Day - Grandparents are invited to attend Mass with students and then stick around for refreshments and classroom visits. Please RSVP for Grandparents' Day by Monday, Feb. 1. And send in photos of your student with their grandparent by Wednesday, Jan. 27 to grandparents@ctrschool.com
Thursday, Feb. 4: 10-1 p.m. Open House - experience firsthand how CtRCS uses technology in the classroom and also to get a feel for the faith-filled environment at CtR Catholic School. You will also have the opportunity to meet Principal Betty Sierra and ask the teachers questions.
Friday, Feb. 5: Souper Bowl Day and Evening Vespers - Students can break out their favorite team jerseys or T-shirts to close out our week of celebrating Catholic schools! Students also bring a canned good today to donate to Cypress Assistance Ministries. Also, an especially exciting event this evening is our choir, Chorus Redemptoris, will be performing the Pueri Cantores in collaboration with St. Theresa Catholic School Choir. At 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 5 at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church, the students will sing Vespers, including the Magnificat, an experience that will surely bring the students, parents and parishioners together to celebrate Catholic schools.
Come and celebrate Catholic education with us! Questions? Contact Megan Dillingham.
