Extended Day Care Program
An extended day care program is available for all students enrolled at St. Lucy School. The Extended Day Care facility opens at 6:45a.m. and closes at 6:00p.m. The program begins the first day of school and continues throughout the school year. Extended Day Care (EDC) services are available on all early dismissal days. All students enrolled at St. Lucy School must have a completed registration form on file at EDC. St. Lucy School handbook rules apply to EDC. The facility is located in the Julie Billiart Center. There is an hourly rate for this service billed through and paid to St. Lucy School (memo:EDC). St. Lucy School reserves the right to refuse admission to EDC because of lack of payment, student misbehavior or chronic tardiness in picking up students at the close of EDC. [return to top]

After-School Sports Program
The Athletic Department is an integral part of St. Lucy School. Its primary goal is to enhance the complete education of the student-athlete. St. Lucy School competes with several other schools in the West Valley Youth League. All students in the fifth through eighth grades are eligible to participate in the following sports:

• Fall: Football (Boys) Volleyball (Girls)
• Winter: Basketball (Boys and Girls)

Parents are encouraged to participate as team parents, drivers, helpers at tournaments and to join the Afterschool Club to help raise money for the After-School Sports Program.

Junior High/Middle School
The junior high is located in the south wing of the St. Lucy School building. Grades 6-8 are departmentalized. The students change classes throughout the day. Each grade however, has its own homeroom teacher and classroom. Students are assigned the use of a school locker where school supplies and books may be kept. Valuables may not be stored in the lockers nor brought to school. [return to top]

Federally-Funded Programs
St. Lucy Parish School participates in two federally funded compensatory education programs. These are administered by the Campbell Union School District under the direction of the State Department of Education. Funds are allocated to students of St. Lucy Parish School residing within Campbell Union School District boundaries. Title 1 funds are primarily used for staff development, parent education, and a part-time consultant who coordinates and supervises the federal programs. Title 2 funds are used to enrich our curriculum through the purchase of appropriate materials, books, and computer software. The students' experiences are also broadened through educational field trips. [return to top]

Field Trips
Teachers organize trips for their classes to places of educational interest which fit into and support the curriculum. A consent form signed by the parent/guardian is required for each student to attend. Verbal consent is not accepted. Often parent chaperones are needed; younger siblings may not attend. Parents who provide transportation must provide a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Students riding in private cars must be seat belted. Parent drivers are to transport students directly to and from the field trip and not take side trips. [return to top]

Library/Resource Center
The Library/Resource Center functions with a three-fold purpose: enrichment, reinforcement, and research. It consists of a multimedia library offering a variety of informational, literary and cultural resources, an educational television component, and a functional area for diverse learning experiences. All grade levels for individual and group work utilize the staffed Library/Resource Center. [return to top]

Reading Guidance
A reading specialist works with the classroom teacher to diagnose reading abilities and concerns and helps to motivate and encourage the students.   [return to top]

Lunch Program

Computer Lab
In 2007, the computer lab was moved and combined with the library to create a new Library/Media Center. The computer lab contains 40 Intel Duo Core 2 Apple computers, state of the art overhead projection system, high-speed laser printers and both digital and video cameras. A full time technology resource teacher and all St Lucy classroom teachers are certified in computer use. Students in Grade K-8 have regularly scheduled computer classes once a week. Students in grade K-3 go to the computer lab in small groups, while students in grade 4-8 attend as a class. Time in the lab is structured around the NETS (National Educational Technology Standards for Students), and much of the work is designed in cooperation with requests of individual classroom teacher.  Thanks to the donations from generous benefactors, students have access to modern technology for word processing, desktop publishing, presentations, multi-media and various educational programs. The entire school building including classrooms, library, lab and office has access to the Internet for e-mail, research, and web 2.0 resources. [return to top]

Extra-Curricular Activities
St. Lucy School staff encourages students to participate in extra-curricular activities whenever possible. We recognize, however, the right of personal choice in deciding to participate in non-school sponsored programs. In fairness to the students who have made the commitment to after-school activities, we ask that participation in non-school sponsored programs not conflict with practices, games or events scheduled by the school. St. Lucy School handbook rules apply to all SLS after-school activities. [return to top]

Community Service Program
All students participate in St. Lucy School outreach program. We are called to serve as person, as family, as church, as neighbors. We are called to reconcile and to hope. Each grade participates at a level appropriate to their age. [return to top]

Student Council
The St. Lucy School Student Council, composed of elected officers and representatives, supports the philosophy of SLS by calling students to service, prayer and spirit-building activities. Student officers are elected in the Spring for the following year. In the Fall, representatives are elected by their classes. Weekly Student Council meetings are held. With guidance from administration and staff, the Student Council encourages community, creativity and participation throughout the student body of St. Lucy School. [return to top]

Yearbook
A St. Lucy School yearbook is published each year by the S.W.A.T. Club (Students Working to Advance Technology) which encompasses students in grades 4-8. Student yearbook staff together with the technology teacher use both digital cameras and electronic technology to create the yearbook. The school yearbook is available to SLS families at a reasonable cost. Order forms are sent through the WCE. [return to top]

S.W.A.T. Club
The S.W.A.T. Club (Students Working to Advance Technology) is a nationally recognized organization to promote student leadership, training, address technology competencies, and provide teacher support in the area of computer technology. Established in 2008 this club is opened to students in grades 4-8. Students work on the school yearbook, creating public relations materials, Internet researchers, and Tech troopers for teachers all in an attempt to advance the understanding and applications of technology use at St. Lucy School.  [return to top]

Eighth Grade Digital Story
Students in the 8th grade work on a yearlong project twice a month to create their own personal digital story. Using computer-based tools students create their own personal narrative. Just as with traditional storytelling, digital stories have a particular point of view and focus on a specific topic. However, these stories usually contain a mixture of computer-based images/pictures, text, recorded audio narration, and/or music. Not only do students have a chance to enhance and refine their writing skills but also they can discover the power of personal expression. Through this process, they have the opportunity to build their 21st century technology skills and create stories that are not only interesting but can also be emotional too. [return to top]
