School Notes Overview:

School of Our Lady, a Catholic elementary school, is committed to the education of the child. We strive to create an education responsive to the spiritual, intellectual, social, psychological, and physical needs of the student. Our aim is to provide opportunities for students to discover, explore, and develop their own God-given potential so that they will have a positive effect on society. Our task is to build sound foundations upon which our students can construct meaningful and purposeful lives. We do this in partnership with the parents who have the primary responsibility for the education of their children. Education at School of Our Lady promotes the formation of Catholic moral and religious values that will enable students to make Christian choices in an increasingly secular and pluralistic society. Our goal is to help the students to recognize themselves as children of God and to perceive that their personal, moral decisions can make positive contributions toward creating a better world.
