About St. Patrick Elementary

 

St. Patrick Multi-Age Kindergarten

If you have a child who will be five years old on or before September 1, or December 31, for the two year kindergarten program, we invite you to send your student to St. Pat’s.  The multi-age classrooms integrate the Young 5/DK students with the kindergarten students.  Bringing these children together assists the development of all involved.  It allows more customized instruction and increases student engagement, achievement and social development.

St. Patrick School no longer holds a typical kindergarten screening day, opting instead for ongoing screening which is done throughout the school year.  Previous experience has shown that spring screening, which is simply a snapshot of one particular day, is not always the best way to determine a student’s readiness for the upcoming academic year.  Now teachers spend time throughout the multi-age year evaluating benchmarks and establishing learning goals.
