It is the philosophy of our school and the Diocese of Fall River that children need to develop study skills as well as the discipline to make their learning experiences an integral part of their everyday life. It is also invaluable for students to continuously review mastered concepts and to apply them in varied ways.
In this day and age, Computer technology is no longer simply a separate course limited to the ‘computer lab’. The availability of Chromebook carts in the school allows for Technology to be integrated into the classroom subjects throughout the year for students. Teachers are also able to utilize our school’s STEM lab to enhance their instruction.
Teachers also communicate with parents through their classroom webpages to help open communication and build a bridge for student learning both in the classroom and through practice with parents at home.
