Pre-Kindergarten Program
St. Pius X School has two Pre-Kindergarten
classes: a three year old class and a four year old class. We work on
creating a learning environment that engages students daily through
active participation in the various learning centers, encouraging each
child’s individual strengths, interests, and needs. Our goals are to
encourage social/emotional growth, spiritual growth, pre-literacy
skills, and math skills.
The Pre-K hours of operation are 9am-2:30pm. Morning and Afternoon Extended Day Program is available.
We offer 4 program options:
1. Full Day Program: 5 days/week, 9:00-2:30
2. Part Time Program: 3 days/week, 9:00-2:30
3. Half Day Program: 5 days/week, 9:00-12:00
4. Half Day Program: 3 days/week, 9:00-12:00
For additional information on the Pre-Kindergarten program, including philosophy and curriculum please see the Parent Handbook.

Religious Education
Students of all faiths are welcome to St. Pius X School, as long as they follow the requirements and curriculum of our program.
Diocesan policy states that “A student not of the Catholic faith who
is enrolled in one for the Catholic Schools of this diocese must follow
the school’s religious programs of studies: exceptions to this
regulation are not permitted by the local pastor, nor by the principal
, or governing board.”
We regard Religion as a major area of study required of all our
students, Catholic & non-Catholic. Our instructors have Level I
& Level II, and Advanced Religion Certification. Our school
celebrates together on Holy Days and at other special times
(Thanksgiving Prayer Service, May Crowning). Prayer takes place
throughout the school day and begins each class. Grade 2 celebrates
First Reconciliation and First Eucharist with the St. Pius Parish CCD
students. Our Pastor is a frequent visitor, and hears confessions at
least twice a year (Lent & Advent) at the school. Our Catholic
identity is an integral part of who we are and we make the exercise of
our faith a priority every day. We serve our community through
participation in many local programs (food and clothing drives,
missions, and outreach to the elderly) in order to live our faith.
Resource Department
The Resource Department at St. Pius X School
offers support to all students for remedial and enrichment purposes, as
well as organizational skills. This is done through small group/
one-to-one in the Resource room or through in-class mentoring within
the classroom. Communication with parents precedes any resource
placement.
