Our Philosophy

The fourth grade teachers are concerned with the formation of the total child: Mind, Body, and Spirit. Our faculty is diverse in personality and united in principles. We practice the art of working, playing and praying together.

We are dedicated to maintaining an environment that is conducive to instilling an authentic self-esteem which comes through perseverance and achievement. We believe in the adage, "nothing succeeds like success."

It is our goal to develop in our students the indispensable quality of a positive work ethic. The students work on mastering the skills necessary for success in the world in a collaborative setting. It is our privilege to serve the students as they find success.

We work hard, play hard, and pray hard. We encourage the children to find God through their union with Him in working, playing, and praying.

Skills for Success

  1. Regularly check the work your child brings home and what is handed in for homework. This will give you an idea of the skills being introduced and what is expected of your child in class.
  2. Urge your child to re-read and re-check work before handing it in. Check for spelling and neatness of work.
  3. Plan and schedule a study time daily.
  4. Encourage your child to study a little every day rather than waiting to cram large amounts all at once.
  5. Stress the importance of paying attention in class. Valuable information may be missed otherwise.
  6. Regularly check your child’s school supplies to be sure everything needed is brought to class. 
  7. If your child is absent, call the school office to request the missed work. The work will be ready for you to pick up in the cubbies after school.
  8. Assignment procedure: homework is written on the board in all classes. The students are given enough time to copy the assignments into their assignment book; please check it nightly.
