Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to St. Nicholas School for our 136th year of excellence. Some may wonder 'why a Catholic school'? Please see this video for an answer: Why Catholic Schools
The school is open for In Person learning. We worked through the summer to 're-engineer' school to allow for a safe In Person learning option. Many modifications including smaller class sizes, continuous air flow in all classrooms, plastic barriers, daily health checks, frequent handwashing, and social distancing are in place. Students have adjusted beautifully and are thrilled and happy to be with their friends!
School Calendar is posted below.
Regarding our regular school program, 2020-2021 please see the following highlights:
Students in grades K-8 will continue to enjoy lessons in STEM ‘making’ solutions to design challenges as a team. High tech and low tech will be incorporated into the program which requires students to ‘think outside the box’ in developing solutions to problems and challenges posed by teachers.
This program enhances student learning and provide access to web-based textbooks and materials as part of our science, social studies, and language arts programs. PreK students enjoy the addition of iPads on a weekly basis which allows them to practice their numeracy and literacy skills. Students in K-8 receive weekly technology lessons and additional technology infusion opportunities to develop 21st Century technology skills.
Our school mission, ‘..to embrace, nurture, and educate all God’s children preparing them for lives of service and leadership’ is alive at St. Nicholas School!
