Open enrollment
begins in November of each year. During the last
week of January, the school hosts a Open House for all interested
families and parishioners of the parish. The first round of applications
for the following school year are due in February, and all applications
received after the posted February date are taken on a space
availability basis. Interested families are encouraged to call the
school throughout the enrollment period for any available openings.
Tours of the campus and classrooms are provided throughout the school
year by calling the school office at (408) 245-4571.

2009/10 school year. Kindergarten students must be 5 years old by
December 1st of the school year they are enrolling for.
Resurrection School Admission Policy
It is a responsibility of Resurrection
School to provide a Catholic elementary education for children of
registered members of Resurrection Parish.
Resurrection School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
creed, national and ethnic origin.
On the average, Resurrection School’s class sizes are kept consciously
lower than the guidelines established by the Diocese of San Jose
limiting classes to 35 students. Our primary grades average 29-32
students per class, and our upper grades average 27-29 per class.
Where there are more applicants than places for any particular class,
the following system of priorities will apply:
- Current students already enrolled in
Resurrection School.
- Siblings of existing students at
Resurrection School.
- Children of an active parishioner of
the Church of the Resurrection.
- Children of any other parishioner of
the Church of the Resurrection.
- Any other Catholic.
- An other applicant
Non-Catholic and Out of Parish
Students.
Where two applicants appear to be equally
qualified for a place, an interview is required with the Principal to reach a decision based on additional factors including, but
not limited to:
All applications for enrollment for the
next school year must meet the registration deadline, which will be set
by the school. This applies to both returning and new students.
Prior to the registration deadline, if
the number of applications received for any given class will cause the
number of students to exceed the approved limits, then they will be
placed on a waiting list, ordered according to the priorities stated
above.
Applications received after the deadline
will be placed at the end of the waiting list for any given class, in
the order received, irrespective of the priorities above.
All new students shall be on probation
for a period of one year to establish their academic ability, behavior,
and ability to study in the Christian environment of Resurrection
School.
Students will not be admitted or re-enrolled, who are functioning at an
academic level two years below their grade.
Following the stated policy, decisions on
admission shall be made by the school principal and pastor.
Students are admitted to Resurrection
School based on the parents' understanding and acceptance that their
children will be receiving a Catholic education that meets the mission
and philosophies described within the Resurrection School handbook.
