We understand the struggles that come with filling out the back-to-school forms. It can often feel like a never-ending and tedious task, taking away precious time and energy that could be spent on other essential matters. We empathize with the overwhelming feeling of juggling so many responsibilities at once. However, we want to assure you that these forms are not just a mindless task but a vital aspect of our school's operation and enrollment process.
Many of these forms are mandated by Maryland State law or Archdiocese regulations; without them, we could not continue operating our school. We also want to reassure you that the forms we have designed purely for our administrative purposes are short and straightforward, allowing us to keep you updated with important school information efficiently.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter and look forward to working together to make this school year a success for your child. -
