KINDERGARTEN & 1st GRADE
Kindergarten and 1st Grade establish good classroom expectations and procedures to assist in each child’s success, confidence and well-being. Our classroom environment is safe and secure; allowing a child to learn, develop self-discipline, good work habits, how to resolve conflicts peacefully, and think independently.
2nd Grade
2nd grade is a sacramental year for SHOJ students. Not only do students continue in their academic growth, but it is a big year for SPIRITUAL growth as well. Students will make their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion during the year. Experiencing the power of Reconciliation and receiving Jesus in the Eucharist are two of the most important events (along with Confirmation in middle school) in the lives of our students and their families.
