Admissions Status Tracking
After your application is submitted online, you may view your application status by accessing your account with your username and password at www.holytcs.org and selecting New Students/Apply Online/Online Application/Login.Qualifications:
In accordance with the Texas Catholic Conference accreditation standards, Holy Trinity Catholic School complies with all age and immunization requirements of the State of Texas and the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth. Every student enrolled in a Catholic School in the State of Texas shall be immunized against vaccine preventable diseases caused by infectious agents in accordance with the immunization schedule adopted by the Texas Department of State Health Services. A student who fails to present the required evidence shall not be accepted for enrollment. The only exception to the foregoing requirement is a medical exemption signed by a licensed physician (M.D. or D.O.) authorized to practice in the State of Texas, including the physicians license number. Immunizations are not in conflict with the Catholic faith. Conscientious objections or waivers, which may be permissible for attendance in public schools, do not qualify as an exemption in Catholic Schools in Texas. (Texas Attorney General Opinion: GA-0420)
Children entering Pre-Kindergarten must be 4 years of age by September 1st of that school year. Children entering Kindergarten must be 5 years of age by September 1st of that school year. Children entering 1st grade must be 6 years of age by September 1st of that school year. Holy Trinity Catholic School cannot make any exceptions to these regulations.
As a Catholic, non-public school dedicated to academic excellence within a disciplined, value-centered environment, the school actively seeks students and families who have a positive attitude toward the value of a Catholic education. The most important qualification for acceptance into the school is the principal’s assurance that the applicant will have a successful school experience. This evaluation is made in consultation with the family, through examination of the student’s assessment results as well as past academic and conduct records, which must be provided by the parents prior to admission. All reports from professional assessments (academic, behavioral, emotional or developmental) MUST be provided at the time of application for admission. All new students are admitted conditionally for the first 9 weeks.
NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY: Holy Trinity Catholic School complies with the Civil Rights Act of 1963 and other federal statutes of non-discrimination in its employment and admissions practices. It admits qualified students of any race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
