of race, color, sex, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of
educational policies, loan programs, athletics, and other school administrative
programs.

ADMISSION OF TRANSFER STUDENTS: ALL STUDENTS ENTERING ST. GEORGE SCHOOL MUST BE

STUDENT ATTENDANCE
The State of Illinois provides for compulsory attendance of all children between
the ages of seven and sixteen years. The responsibility for compliance with the
law belongs to the parents, but the school is obliged to keep accurate records
of daily attendance. This record is kept on file.
SCHOOL YEAR AND SCHOOL DAY
The length of the school year and school day is determined by the State of
Illinois and the Office of Catholic Education.
HEALTH RECORDS
A current dental and health record must be presented and placed on file for all
students entering Kindergarten and 5th Grade. Also, evidence of a lead screening
test must be part of the health examination. All transfer students must present
a dental and a health record upon registering for school. NO STUDENT MAY BE
ADMITTED TO A CLASSROOM UNTIL THE HEALTH AND DENTAL RECORDS ARE TURNED INTO THE
OFFICE. Good mental, physical and emotional health are essential and necessary
to facilitate the learning process.
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH
Students with exceptional needs may be asked to have a psychologist,
psychiatrist or certified counselor administer a psychological evaluation. Saint
George will follow the recommendation of the psychologist or psychiatrist. Saint
George is not equipped to deal with extreme or severe behavioral or emotional
problems. Nor is it equipped to deal with students who have learning disorders.
St. George School is supported primarily by
tuition and fees. Our School Board assists families through various fund
raisers. St. George Parish also provides a subsidy to offset the cost of running
St. George School.
Preschool
Statement of Purpose:
St. George School’s Early Childhood Program strives to provide a creative learning environment for the young child in a Catholic setting. Each child is nurtured and encouraged to develop the following qualities:
* positive self-image and acknowledgement of self-worth.
* basic social skills including sharing and cooperation.
* increased independence
* a trust in adults other than parents.
* being a part of a group and accept the need to share and cooperate.
* respect toward others and responsibility for his/her own actions.
* desire to learn.
* awareness that he/she is a child of God and is loved by the Creator.
GOALS:
Respect each child for the unique individual he/she is, recognizing his/her limitations and potentials.
Develop the whole child: spiritually, academically, physically, and socially. Develop the child’s sense of prayer, increase his/her understanding of the world in light of Catholic teaching, and build a foundation for an adult faith. Help each child develop his/her potential for good, and increase his/her awareness of self.
Religion
Religion Readiness is a vital part of a Catholic School early childhood program. Using concrete life experiences and bible stories a child learns the meaning of love and being loved in a family/school setting. The child begins to learn he/she is special, not only in his/her family, but in God’s family. The child is introduced to the goodness of God as shown in the gifts of creation and through His greatest gift, Jesus Christ. This is done in a secure and trusting setting.
Math Readiness
Counting, learning shapes, number recognition, and calendar activities provide math and thinking skills for the preschooler.
Reading Readiness
Reading skill development begins at birth and continues throughout a lifetime. These skills come from formal and informal activities within the family and in the school environment: field trips, show and tell, audio-visual materials, learning from left to right, top to bottom progression, eye-hand coordination, recalling story details, and happenings in a sequence. All aid the reading readiness process.
Developmental Free Play and Games
Both indoor and outdoor activities are outlets for joyous good times, exercise, practical learning and developing motor coordination, lessons of fair play, following directions, sharing, and good sportsmanship are learned. Play helps children to explore and examine the world and interact with peers. In this way, children learn proper social behavior.
Physical Education
Physical movement is an integral part of a young child’s growth. Children progress at their own developmental physical skills, enjoy large and small motor skills and physical fitness. They learn to identify and move parts of the body, along with good eating habits that encourage growth and strength, helping to develop a positive self-image.
Art
The child explores a variety of media of art expression that is developmentally appropriate.
Health and Safety
Concepts of health and safety are integrated into the program in a functional manner. The child learns about the body structure and functions, emotional health, cleanliness, and health habits. Children also acquire basic principles of safety in the classroom, on the playground, on the street, and in the home.
Rhythm and Music- Rhythmic activities, singing, and dance are experiences in which the preschool child responds creatively to music and song by listening, singing, creating body movements, and using rhythmic instruments. |
