Core Curriculum
The mission of Holy Rosary School is to provide quality Catholic education in the parish family setting for children in Kindergarten through Eighth grade. We encourage in our children the development of healthy self-esteem through mutual respect and compassion for one another as taught by Jesus. Acknowledging our mutual values and diverse traditions, we prepare the children to be enthusiastic and comfortable in their expression of faith. Our curriculum addresses the needs of the whole child while recognizing the abilities and talents of each child. The program emphasizes a three-fold partnership of family, student, and school.
The curriculum of Holy Rosary School is designed to meet or exceed the standards set by the State of California, while following the guidelines of the Diocese of Sacramento Catholic Schools Department. (For more details on the curriculum guidelines established by the Diocese of Sacramento Catholic Schools Department, please visit their website at: www.csdsac.org.) A strong religious education is an integral part of that education. The faculty and staff of the school acknowledge the parents as primary educators of their children. The religious instruction is designed to complement and reinforce that of the home in the teaching of the traditions, precepts, beliefs, and value of the Holy Catholic Church and the application of these principles to daily living. Families are strongly encouraged to take an active part in parish activities, including participation at liturgies, adult education programs and other events.
Our goal is to empower children as active agents in their own learning and to establish themselves as successful lifelong learner. At all levels, parents are encouraged to take part in their children's education through appropriate homework supervision, active involvement in the school and in modeling an enthusiasm for learning in the home.
Students are expected to be responsible for their homework. This includes taking it home with them. If homework is forgotten or left at school and the teacher has already left for the day, we can not unlock the classroom to obtain homework.
Homework is assigned to develop initiative, responsibility, and self discipline in the student and to reinforce and/or extend classroom work. It is not busy work. Each teacher will orient you to his or her homework program.
Time allotments suggested by the Diocese for daily home study are:
* Grades K-2: 20 minutes
* Grades 3-4: 30-45 minutes
* Grade 5: 45-60 minutes
* Grades 6-8:

Holy Rosary Preschool
We believe the young children need to be in an environment where they feel loved, welcome, and respected. When they have all these things, the foundation is set for the young child to learn and grow.
A safe and predictable environment with age-appropriate materials and activities are essential. Children learn best through play and hands-on activities. Children should be encouraged to do as much for themselves as possible, but should also be encouraged to ask for help when frustrated. In disciplining the young child, it's best to anticipate problems; if this cannot be done, positive re-direction should be used as much as possible.
We need to remember that all young children are unique; they bring with them different needs and gifts. They all develop academic and social skills at their own pace. Each child needs to be respected for their differences and taught that they are all special in the eyes of God and of all those around them.
The Purpose of our Preschool Program:
1. To provide a wide range of experiences for your child through a balance of play and hands-on learning materials, including dramatic play, science, fine and gross motor skills, math, art, music, number and letter concepts, cooking, and more.
2. To promote social skills through teaching communication, listening skills, values, and responsibility.
3. To encourage self-esteem and a sense of competence by treating each child with respect and dignity.
4. To foster independence by allowing your child to make choices when appropriate. and to encourage them to help others as well as him/herself.
5. To insure a smooth transition from Preschool to Kindergarten. The Preschool staff works with the Holy Rosary Kindergarten teacher to develop an appropriate readiness program.
