St. Pius X School is dedicated to a Catholic education that provides students the academic, technological, and social and emotional tools they will need to choose any future they want. These tools are a combination of knowledge, inquiry, problem solving skills,  computer skills and effective study habits that will serve students throughout their lives.

We off preschool for 2-1/2 year olds to 4 year olds and prekindergarten for 4 and 5 year olds with full time and part-time options. Contact dfarewell@stpx.org for registration information.

Peace,

Mrs. Dorothy Farewell, M.Ed.

"Students need to have the tools to level up while getting rich information." Zaretta Hammond from A Seat at the Table With Education Week: Culturally Responsive Teaching: How to Improve Your Impact in the Physical or Virtual Classroom.

In last week's webinar, Ms. Hammond discussed the importance of building a culturally competent classroom. Right off the bat, she spoke about parents as our students' first educators--don't we know how true this is! The relationship between school and home is so vital to the success of our students. Thank you for your continued partnership.

We are working hard for you during these summer weeks with deep cleaning, re-configuring classrooms and planning for this fall. Health and safety for our staff and faculty, students and families is top priority, so we are making sure our plans follow current health department guidelines.

Our preschool has openings, as well as available spots in most of our K-8 grades. We are getting a lot of traffic on our website and many phone calls to our front office--this is great! Tours are ongoing, so please keep sending families our way. Interested families may contact the front office, Monday through Friday from 9am to 1pm, or schedule a tour online any time.
