OTHER PROGRAMS
Learning Differences Program: The Learning Differences teachers, in unison with
the classroom teachers, provide assistance to those children who have been identified as
needing specific changes with the curriculum in order to allow them to perform to the best
of their ability. The principal, teachers or parents may recommend the child to be
considered for this program. However, mutual agreement between the instructors and the
parents is necessary before a child is finally accepted.
Rainbows Program: The mission of this program is to provide effective peer support
groups for children and adolescents who are grieving a death, divorce, or other painful
transition in their family. For specific information relating to this program please call
the school office.
Extra Curricular Activities include chess club, band, choir, soccer, basketball, field hockey, lacrosse, track, and
field trips. A letter is sent home at the beginning of the school year stating the grade
levels involved in these activities.
Altar Servers: Students in grade 5 and above, from the school or parish, may apply to
give service to the parish by assisting the priest in liturgical celebrations. Special
training and a sense of responsibility are required.
Safety Patrol: This service organization of girls and boys plays an important role
in helping school moderators and crossing guards provide adequate safety procedures for
children who attend our school. Parental permission is required.
Instrumental Music: Children in grades four through eight may enroll in a diocesan
approved program of instrumental music. Primary students are given the opportunity to
participate in flutaphone lessons. Information is distributed early in the school year and
arrangements are made directly between parents and company.
Before and After School Care Program: The Before and After School Program will
be held in our school if attendance warrants. Parents who have children in Grades K-8 may make arrangements to enroll
their children. Please request and complete Day Care Forms. All papers and fees are to be
