Admittance Policies & Registration Procedures
College Park Elementary School is operated primarily as a service to the members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ontario. Other students who desire to flourish in this environment, to develop a Christian character, and who can support the philosophy and policies established by this school are welcome.
Because College Park Elementary is a private parochial school, it is religiously oriented and has regulations that direct conduct. Students are expected to support these regulations while in school or participating in school-related activities.
Parents seeking enrollment/re-enrollment for their child are responsible to submit ALL the necessary forms completed and during the appropriate office hours (as communicated by the CPES office) and/or online using the PowerSchool Enrollment portal. The CPES office will notify families when re-admission packages are available and the days and times the school office will be open to return the completed forms and/or assist parents in completing forms.
Parents seeking enrollment for their children into the school thereby place themselves on record as being in harmony with the policies of the school and pledge themselves to assist in every way possible to uphold the school, the teachers, and the education program.

Junior Kindergarten: child must be four (4) years of age by December 31 of the current school year.
