SCHOOL COMMUNITY

Immaculate Conception Catholic School, an educational program which incorporates a four-year-old pre-kindergarten program through Grade 8, aims to cooperate with the Church and with the parents in order to guide, instruct, and form each child; to help the child develop God-given talents and to set Catholic ideals.  Immaculate Conception School serves the family, the Church, the parish, and the state by helping students fulfill their religious and educational potentials.

The Pastor is the spiritual leader of the school.  His ministry and example bring the students to Christ and His Church.

The principal, in cooperation with the pastor and in conjunction with the assistant principal, is the administrator and supervisor of the school.  It is the principal’s obligation to implement diocesan and local school policies.  It is likewise the principal’s duty to cooperate with the Immaculate Conception School Board and the Superintendent of Schools in educational and curriculum studies.  He also works with the parish Director of Religious Education to enhance the spiritual growth of the students.  Finally, he is available to faculty, staff, parents, and students as a caring and professional person, sharing his educational expertise and Christian concern.

The main focus is to impart the philosophy of the school by developing the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth of the students.  Besides the full-time classroom teachers, the staff also includes a Chaplin, a librarian, a secretary, a teacher aide, a computer coordinator, an Art teacher, a Music teacher and a P.E. teacher.  Also available are a resource teacher who works with small groups, and a Reading Coach who works with the K through third grades teachers in implementing advanced reading instruction.

Immaculate Conception School Board, an advisory board, is the proper source of policy governing the Immaculate Conception School program.  It functions for the parish in selecting policies and approving programs, which relate to achieving the educational goals of the school.

The parents of our students have the responsibility and solemn obligation of educating their children.  We at Immaculate Conception try to build on what the family teaches at home.  Recognizing this joint effort needed for the education of a child, we emphasize the great need for cooperation between the two.  The faculty and staff gratefully acknowledge the assistance of all associations and urge all parents to take an active role in their children’s education.

Aquinas High School is the Catholic High School serving the secondary educational needs of students from Immaculate Conception.
