Philosophy
St. Mark’s Catholic School provides a nurturing environment in a caring and positive atmosphere to create a warm and happy place for children to learn. As we bridge the gap from home to school, we guide children to a continued good selfimage while building social skills in a school setting.

Sensory, motor, perceptual and language skills are introduced through materials and activities, which are both child-centered and teacher directed. Work is planned which emphasizes the process rather than the product, fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride.

In that children’s learning begins by exploring the world around them through tactile experiences, students will foster creativity, develop independence, enhance curiosity and expand social skills.

Each child will be respected as an individual with his or her own timetable and learning style. Through listening, questioning and making choices, the child will learn to enjoy the process of learning and find joy in his or her own achievements.

St. Mark’s fosters an “open door” policy and welcomes parents to visit the classroom and the office.

We would like to welcome you to the 2010-11 school year and encourage your participation and input in our volunteer program.  This year our goal is to promote community spirit by providing opportunities to bring families together in fellowship, fun and learning.  Preschool is an exciting time for parents and children as many friendships are formed during these early years that will last a lifetime. The Parent-Teacher Committee, PTC, offers a variety of ways to become involved in your child’s first school experience, meet other families, and support the preschool.  No matter what your interests, talents, or availability may be, we have a spot for you in the PTC.

What does the PTC do? 

The PTC is responsible for classroom parties, planning and carrying out preschool events, supporting preschool families in need and bringing preschool parents together. Please refer to our Board Member Roster to find a short description of each Board members role and responsibilities. If you are interested in lending your support, opportunities to volunteer will be made available as each event nears. Your questions, comments and suggestions will be graciously accepted. Please contact any of the Board members using the information provided in our Board Member Roster or at:

Thank you for your time and involvement in your child’s school!  We look forward to an exciting and blessed year with our children, parents and teachers.

 Room Parent Information

This year each classroom will have only two “Room Parents”: a lead room parent and an assistant room parent; however, there will be a need for additional parent volunteers from each class. The sign up sheet will be available in your classroom at Orientation on August 28, 2008. Room parents will be asked to plan Holiday parties using the guidelines set by the Preschool and will be asked to help coordinate “Family Fun Night” with the PTC. Teacher Appreciation will be giving gifts during the year to the teachers and you will be notified when these gifts will be distributed and what these gifts will be. However, you may want to organize a gift within your class for special holidays or Birthdays. You will also be asked to notify Caring and Sharing of families in your class that are in need and help organize meals. You may also be asked to help pass information to your parents for the PTC. Being a Room Parent is a year long commitment please be sure you are up to the task prior to volunteering.
