For the 2022-2022 school year: Grades 1 through 5 and grade 8 are each being taught by one teacher (grades 1 through 3 are also supported by an aide); grades 6 and 7 are being taught as blended classes with assistance from an aide.
All classrooms are equipped with a full range of educational materials encouraging traditional subject learning such as reading, writing, science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics; as well as experiential learning centers which encourage hands-on education.
Students in grades 6 through 8 are taught Spanish, using the Spanish For You curriculum.
Grades 1 through 8 all have full Chromebook classroom sets, one for each student.
We enroll a maximum of 30 students per class, and when the capacity of the class has been reached, no new students will be admitted.
Students in grades 1 through 8 have access to acres of open play area – including open grass, sports fields/courts, and playground equipment – promoting healthy lifestyles through active play.
All sixth graders participate in a multi-day sleep-away science camp (SCICON) in Springville, Calif. It is a hands-on learning experience focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics and takes place among nature in the beauty of the Sequoia National Forest. All fifth graders participate in a one-day field trip to SCICON.
According to state law, immunizations must be completed by the time a child enters school. A record of physical examination must be presented within 90 days of the entrance to school (for first through eighth graders). New students in grades 1 through 8 are accepted conditionally until their records are checked by the principal. After the records have been approved, the students are accepted into the school.
All new students are placed on probation for the first year. The students will be expected to meet the following requirements: prompt and regular attendance; respect for authority, other students, and property; and satisfactory academic achievement. If a child is not meeting these requirements, the parents will be notified and will be required to meet with the teacher and the principal. If no improvement is shown after three formal conferences, the child will not be allowed to continue at St. Aloysius School.
