A message from our principal.
Dear Future St. Patrick Families,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you and share some exciting opportunities as you consider St. Patrick School for your child’s education. Our dedicated teachers, many of whom have years of experience, serve not only as educators but also as mentors to our newer staff. Together, we are united in our commitment to fostering both academic excellence and spiritual growth in our students. We take pride in our tradition of cultivating courageous disciples who are ready to serve the world.
At St. Patrick School, our students engage in rigorous academic programs, hands-on service projects, and a wide variety of learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom. These activities are designed to nurture a lifelong love of learning.
Here are just a few key highlights of what makes St. Patrick School so special:
- A Family Atmosphere: It’s a true blessing to build relationships with each child and their family. I’ve even come to know many of our students’ grandparents, who often visit to be with their grandchildren.
- Small Class Sizes: With a student-to-teacher ratio of 17 or fewer, our class sizes allow for personalized attention and deeper connections with students.
- Technology Integration: We are proud to provide 1:1 Chromebooks and iPads for our students. Additionally, we offer computer classes twice a week to help them develop essential digital skills.
- Updated Curriculum & Resources: We continuously update our curriculum to ensure that our students are receiving the best and most relevant education.
- Weekly Mass: As a Catholic school, attending weekly Mass together is an integral part of our spiritual development.
- Learning Beyond the Classroom: Our teachers are dedicated to exploring educational opportunities outside the classroom, including field trips, STEM lessons, and integrated learning experiences.
- WIN Time (What I Need): Next year, we will continue to offer WIN Time, where students can receive small group instruction tailored to their individual learning needs.
- A Supportive Community: Patrick School is blessed with dedicated committees like Fall Festival, Home and School, Education, Finance, Knights of Columbus, and Hunters Night Out, who generously give their time and energy to support our school.
- Compassionate and Committed Staff: Our staff not only cares deeply for our students, but they also hold them to high standards, encouraging personal and academic growth.
- Catholic Morals and Values: At the heart of everything we do is the desire to teach and model Christ-like virtues. Our goal is to offer a moral education based on Catholic teachings that guides students to become compassionate, responsible individuals.
One of the many reasons St. Patrick School thrives is the unwavering support from our parents. Together, with the dedication of our teachers and the support of our school community, we are able to provide an education that is truly exceptional.
Thank you for considering St. Patrick School for your child’s education. We look forward to the opportunity to partner with you in nurturing the next generation of leaders, learners, and disciples.
Sincerely,
Toni Ross
