Since the schools of the Diocese are established and maintained by the Diocesan community as religious schools, preference in admissions shall be given to practicing members of the Diocesan Catholic community. Preference in admission shall be given to the children of active supporting members of St. Didacus Parish School. In the case of Catholic students, some preference shall be given to the admission of siblings of students already enrolled in the school.

The Diocese of San Diego Catholic Schools mandates that a child must be age six on or before September 1st in order to enter First Grade. Therefore, a child must be age five(5) on or before September 1st in order to enter Kindergarten. All new students must be evaluated prior to admission.
|
In order to complete enrollment, the following documents are required:
- Birth Certificate
- Baptismal Certificate
- Immunization Record (Yellow Card)
- Most Recent Report Card
|
|
All immunizations must be current, and an immunization card present upon enrollment. A physical exam must be completed for entry to Preschool and First Grade. All immunizations must be updated before a student is admitted to the classrooms.
|
No person shall be admitted as a student unless that person and his/her family subscribe to the school's philosophy and agree to abide by the educational policies and regulations of St. Didacus Parish School and of the Diocese.
Eventually, upon registration, a family must review, understand, and sign a "Registration Agreement: Philosophy" statement:
- We agree to comply with all school and Diocesan policies and regulations. We agree to uphold the standards of the school and to engage in the spirit of the school, and to have our child/ren do so likewise.
- We parents/guardians recognize our responsibilities as the primary educators of our children; we acknowledge the importance of teaching Christian values by lived example. We therefore will strive to maintain a Christian atmosphere in our home, especially by prayer, family worship , and active peace in our home. We will cooperate in supporting a school community which teaches and reinforces Christian values.
- We understand that certain responsibilities require our continuous support if the school is to achieve its goals. Some of these commitments include that we will:
- Actively engage in positive communication with the principal, teachers and other school staff
- encourage learning by providing suitable time, area, participation and environment for home study
- participate with generous and positive energy in Parent-Teacher group activities, meetings and communications
- complete, return and update all forms and records necessary to comply with school, Diocesan and State regulations.

St. Didacus Parish School shares the common mission of Catholic education to proclaim the message of Jesus, to create Christian community, to worship God, and to serve one another and the world. Our school supports and enhances the parents' role as the primary educators of their children.
We engage students from all cultural backgrounds in a developmental curriculum promoting spiritual growth, academic excellence, and social responsibility. The school identifies its wider community as faculty and staff, students, families, parish interested outside individuals and groups, neighbors and alumni. Within this dynamic, the young learner develops as a whole child, grounded in God's love, preparing to shape his/her life pattern of excellence, morality, service and commitment.
