III. ADMISSIONS

Application Bishop Grimes High School proudly welcomes students from all over the world. Each prospective student is expected to complete the enrollment application. In addition, each prospective student is asked to submit their most recent credentials - report card and standardized exam scores.

Beginning in October, Bishop Grimes offers the Placement Exam. Every prospective, incoming 7th Grader is required to sit for this exam. Registration for the exam is first come, first served.

The application is an online process through FACTS. Once all credentials are received, the prospective student’s application file is presented for consideration for enrollment. Initial acceptance/welcome packets are mailed out in November. Please find more information and the ability to enroll today on our website.

CUSTODY INFORMATION The school abides by the provisions of the Buckley Amendment. Thus, non-custodial parents will be given access to the academic records and to information regarding the academic progress of their children, unless there is a copy of court order on file at the school specifically stating that the non-custodial parent is denied access to such information.

All separated, divorced, and never married parents are asked to provide the school with a court-certified copy of the custody section of the appropriate decree. If a parent is to be denied access to a child’s academic records, that denial should be noted in this section of the decree. The custody section should also provide information about the non-custodial parent’s right of access to the child.

If a parent would like a non-parental family member or sponsor of a student to have access to the student’s academic and school-related information, a parent must provide a letter in writing to the Administration stating this request along with appropriate contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.) in order for the school to honor this request.
