Pre-registration for the1973-74 session is currently taking place at St. Roch’s Elementary School. The principal, Sister Leo Ann, reports that any parents interested in sending children to St. Roch’s should contact her at Pa. 1-2595 early in April. She should know by then what vacancies there will be in the classrooms in September, and will be hiring faculty accordingly.
Parents of children who will be entering kindergarten in September are urged to call and inquire now. This year there. was one morning session in kindergarten, and if numbers demand an afternoon session the decision must be made soon so that arrangements for a teacher can be made.
Under the open enrollment policy at St. Roch’s, any vacancies in the classrooms are open to neighborhood residents or to Catholic families from other parishes on a tuition-paying basis. Tuition is $350.00 for the first child in a family, $200.00 for any others.
