Lake Castle Madisonville Application

Dear Parents:

I would like to take this time to thank you for expressing an interest in Lake Castle Madisonville Private School, Inc.  The school is located in Madisonville on Highway 21, approximately 1.9 miles south of Interstate 12.

Since 1995, Lake Castle Madisonville students have scored exceptionally well on national testing.  The average student national percentile is above the 87th percentile on the Stanford Achievement Test, Tenth Edition.  Very few schools in the state of Louisiana administer the tenth edition of the Stanford Achievement Test.  Consequently, Lake Castle Madisonville has an academic standing second to none for an elementary school.

Enclosed you will find our Tuition Schedule for your review and a request for an invitation to our next Lake Castle Madisonville orientation.  If you are viewing this page on our website (www.lakecastle.com), please feel free to download and print out the form.  Once we are in receipt of your request, you will be contacted and given a date and time to come to the school for an orientation.  At least one parent or family representative must represent every prospective applicant.  Please do not bring children to this meeting.  The orientation takes approximately two hours and is most important.  The following topics will be covered:

• Academic philosophy of Lake Castle Madisonville

• Philosophy pertinent to discipline

• Pupil responsibilities

• Parental role in education

At the conclusion of the orientation, you will be given registration information.  If you find the philosophy of Lake Castle Madisonville to be compatible with yours, you may then formalize the registration process by returning the registration card with your registration fee to the school.  Copies of the following documents must accompany the registration form for consideration.  Acceptance to the school is contingent upon my review and approval of the following information:

1.     Report Card (if applicable)

2.     Most recent national test scores (4th-8th grades only)

3.     Birth Certificate

4.     Recent snapshot

5.     Current immunization record

6.     Lake Castle Publicity Release Form

Please note that children entering pre-kindergarten should turn four years of age by no later than September 1 of the calendar year in which they begin school.

Once again, I'd like to thank you for your interest in Lake Castle Madisonville.  If there is anything I can do to help you please do not hesitate to call.

Sincerely in education,

Barry M. Butera
