Elementary School Nondiscrimination Policy 2021-22
|
The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools. While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.

Thank You From The Special Needs Ministry
|
The Special Needs Ministry would like to extend our sincere appreciation for your help in making Saturday’s food drive successful. The food that the eight graders collected from the school families will feed hundreds of individuals and children. We were able to stock the pantries of Mater Dolorosa, Friends in Deed and Shepherd’s Pantry. Please let the students know that their thoughtfulness and contributions were very appreciated! We will be having the food drive quarterly, so expect the next one around January 29th. We will send you a flyer the beginning of the month. So many people in our communities are struggling and your kindness made a big difference. Please share our thanks with the school!
Blessings, Sara Lee and the Special Needs Ministry
