It is a place where people are encouraged to become the best they can be. Students and staff work hard to foster a sense of community and create a positive, supportive environment where people feel safe and are encouraged to learn. The logo represents pride and strength and we pledge, with God's help, to promote and maintain an environment which nurtures the growth of individuals and encourages respect, dignity, and service for others by modeling self respect, justice and compassion. St. Nicholas offers its students a supportive learning environment. We strive to respect the rights of all students to get an education and, consequently follow a clear set of school procedures.
Students receive mid-term reports between report cards, to help monitor progress.
Twice a year St. Nicholas School holds a Demonstration of Learning, which is an opportunity for students to show parents their progress through achievement results, portfolios, and special projects. It is also an opportunity for students and parents to consult with teachers. Teachers use computer technology throughout the year to facilitate easy and immediate access to student information and communication of progress is encouraged anytime during the year. Helping students succeed and be motivated is what the St. Nicholas staff, in partnership with the parents and parish, strive to achieve. Co-curricular activities contribute to this end, as students enjoy field trips, musical journeys, plays, guest speakers, demonstrations, special projects in conjunction with other schools, and yearly retreats.
