Students applying for acceptance to St. Mary Kindergarten program must be 5 years of age by August 31 of the year in which they are entering Kindergarten. A Kindergarten Readiness Screening is conducted in June prior to Kindergarten enrollment and is required for admittance. Admittance is considered on a case by case basis, based on Kindergarten screening results and teacher/administrator recommendations and review.

Parents are encouraged to call (419) 342.2626 to arrange for a tour of our school with our School Principal, Mrs. Kimberly Stover.
