Admissions Process

​

Thank you for your interest in St. Michael Parish School! All applicants must complete an application form and fee (submitted through our Finalsite parent portal), along with the documents required below. Teacher recommendations and school records will be requested by parents through the online application. Please note that immunization records are not submitted as part of the application process, but are required during enrollment from students who are accepted for admission. We require all students to be current on all state-required immunizations. As directed by the Archdiocese of Seattle, we are only able to accept medical exemptions for immunizations. Personal and religious exemptions are not accepted. A student must be five years old for kindergarten and four years old for Pre-K by August 31 immediately preceding the school year for which the student seeks to enroll. There are no exceptions made to this requirement.

​

Applications for new students open on February 1, 2026

 

Spots are held for current students until the re-enrollment period ends on March 15, 2026.

After March 15, we will begin offering admission to new students with completed applications.
