SIBLING APPLICATIONS DUE DECEMBER 10

Are you interested in applying for admission for a sibling? Here is how to do so: 

  1. Log into Veracross, click the column icon at the top of the page, then click “Admission.” This will take you to the Admission Portal of Veracross. 
  2. Once there, click the “Add a New Application” button. This will allow you to begin an application for a child already listed in Veracross. If that child is not in Veracross, you also have the option of adding a child and then beginning the application. 
  3. Once you pay the application fee, the list of steps to complete will show up. 
  4. There are three steps that you do not need to complete—the “Parent/Family Questions,” the “Pastor Recommendation,” and the “Parent Interview.” Once we see you have started an application, we will remove those steps. 

Please note that Steps 1 and 2 (parent and student questions) are due December 10 and Step 3 (test scores and teacher evaluation) is due January 15. If you are applying for a rising Kindergarten Summer Birthday through Class Four student, please schedule your CATS testing date as soon as possible in order to submit scores by the deadline. If you have a student applying to Classes Five through Eight, please schedule your ISEE testing date as soon as possible in order to submit it by the deadline. 

If you have any questions about the application, please contact Meredith Lockhart at (214) 302-2812 or mlockhart@pcstx.org

Please attend one or more of the upcoming Parent Equipping Events:
