The K-2 community prides itself on extending the faith
through community prayer, building character by teaching to the whole student,
and providing a developmentally appropriate academic programs that meets the
needs of all students.As a parochial
Catholic school, we incorporate our faith into our daily routines. We build the
K-2 students’ character by challenging our students to show Courtesy,
Acceptance, Respect for Everyone each and everyday through programs such as our
anti-bullying policies and community service. With the para-educator in each
classroom we are able to better meet the needs of all students in small group
settings.
Our curriculum guides our students through a hands-on
manipulative based math program and a balanced literacy program.After our informal comprehensive literacy assessments
we are able to develop appropriate reading instruction.We use a literature and phonetic based reading
program in conjunction with Lucy Calkin’s Writer’s Workshop.We initiated the Handwriting Without Tears
program this year in K-2.This is an
Occupational Therapy based handwriting program that enables the child to
develop small motor skills while learning to write through all facets of learning.
Our Math program is developmentally appropriate focusing on the key math
concepts.
Blessed Sacrament School develops the whole child through
creative arts and physical education.Our school offers Music, Art, Library, Science, and Physical Education.
These programs provide students with the opportunity to develop into a well
rounded individual.
