We
believe that our school shares, in a special way, the teaching ministry of the
Church and that St. Maria Goretti Catholic Parish School brings Christ's message
to the children entrusted to its care. We believe that each child is, first and
foremost, a unique creation of God and, as such, is deserving of love and the
opportunity to develop to his/her fullest potential. The administration and teachers
of SMG school are committed to this ministry and to the children.
As
members of the Christian community of St. Maria Goretti Catholic Parish School,
we strive to recognize and fulfill our responsibilities toward God, toward all
our brothers and sisters, toward ourselves, and toward all of God's creation.
Philosophy
The
faculty and staff of St. Maria Goretti Catholic School share in the teaching ministry
of our parish, to bring Christ's message to our students. We believe that every
child is a unique creation of God, worthy of the opportunity to develop to his/her
fullest potential in a safe and caring environment. We will provide our students
with prayer and worship experiences, high academic standards, service opportunities
and guidance and support toward healthy personal growth. We recognize and value
the partnership that parents and teachers have in the successful education of
all students. As members of the St. Maria Goretti Catholic School Community, we
embrace these responsibilities of our teaching ministry.
The
school consists of children in preschool through grade eight. Maximum class size
is twenty five. Our school is accredited by the Wisconsin Non-Public Schools Accrediting
Association. Our staff is made up of qualified educators, trained to teach in
their academic and grade-level disciplines. We offer additional courses, at all
grade levels, for computer, art, music, band, physical education and library research
& reading. In addition, the school offers a hot lunch program, a Middle School
Yearbook Committee and an athletics program in grades 5-8.
