The mission of St.
Bernadette School is
to nurture the
spiritual growth of
our students through
Catholic teachings
and traditions, to
encourage
self-discipline, and
to provide tools for
academic excellence.
Teachers,
administrators,
parents and the
community share the
responsibility for
advancing our
school’s mission.
Our Catholic
Identity is
celebrated in weekly
liturgies, prayer
services, daily
religion classes,
reaching beyond
ourselves in service
to others by writing
letters to the
parish’s home-bound,
collecting food for
the local food
pantries, and
treating others with
respect and
kindness. We believe
that all students
can learn, therefore
curriculum and
instructional
practice
incorporates a
variety of
instructional
approaches and
learning activities
to accommodate
differences in
learning styles.
Each student is a
valued individual
with unique
physical, social,
emotional and
intellectual needs.
Learning is the
chief priority of
our school. Our
curriculum and
instructional design
is grounded in the
philosophy of
continuous
improvement. The
success of St.
Bernadette School is
due to several
factors. The faculty
and staff are highly
dedicated and
qualified, are open
to new ideas, and
implement Best
Practices to provide
quality education.
Each classroom is
equipped with a
voice amplification
system, an
interactive white
board (SmartBoard)
and projector, TV,
VCR/DVD player, CD
player, and desktop
computers and
printers. The
Internet is
available to all
computers. Positive
discipline is used
to help the students
make “good choices”.
The teachers know
their students and
are able to provide
them with the
support needed in
order for them to
become successful
learners.
St. Bernadette
School administers
standardized tests
(Terra Nova) in
grades 2, 3, 4, and
5. We compare
favorably with
Diocesan scores
(district), and
National Scores.
While the annual
results from
standardized tests
show that St.
Bernadette School is
doing an excellent
job of educating
children in the
basic skills, the
relaxed, happy
atmosphere of the
school is, perhaps,
its greatest
attraction. The
children genuinely
care for each other.
