Blessed Sacrament Catholic School

Each classroom has a teacher and an aide, enabling individual instruction as needed.

Since 1922, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School inspires the pursuit of excellence, maintains a safe, warm and caring environment, affirms the uniqueness and dignity of the individual, celebrates the diversity of community, fosters family partnerships, and promotes a commitment to strong social and moral values.

Students are welcomed into the classroom in the morning by washing their hands, choosing a book, and looking at their reading choice for a few minutes while everyone arrives. Then it's time for calendar and weather. The day is a mix of art projects, free play at centers, two recesses and lunch, and rotating specials that include Art, Music, P.E., Spanish, and Library. There is instruction in literacy, math, and science, with different instruction depending on age level. Each day includes several snack times as well as nap or quiet time.

Blessed Sacrament provides open houses for prospective and existing families, written curriculum and class schedules, parent-teacher meetings several times a year, and written progress reports. Parents are always encouraged to participate in the classroom, and time is provided before and after school to speak with the teacher.

Separation anxiety is handled on an individual basis, with the focus being on reassuring the child and helping them calm down so they can enjoy the day. Parents are welcome to stay to assist if they wish, but as this can draw out the separation process, most choose to let the staff handle any issues.
