CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

Frequently Asked Questions What is Catholic Schools Week?

Catholic Schools Week is an annual event, celebrated across the country during the last week in January. The week is set aside to celebrate the unique nature of the Catholic schools in each community. In addition to the internal events (teacher and parent recognition events, school ‘spirit’ days, special assemblies, etc.), it is also a week where the schools open their doors to the families of the Parish/Parishes they serve and to the general public who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education.

As a school family, how do I participate?

Each school publishes a complete list of events and activities taking place in their school during the week. School families are encouraged to visit the website of their school.

As a prospective family, do I have an “assigned school”?

As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more?

be interested in and get a tour of the facility, be introduced to the teachers, meet some of the current families and children, and generally learn about the academic, spiritual, social and physical development programs.

Catholic Schools Week features Open Houses at the schools where parents and students can visit the school(s) they think they might

One of the first differences you will notice about Catholic school is that you get to select the school that you believe your children will be most successful in. There is no direct “assignment” based on where you live, and most school districts provide busing to the school of your choice within a 15-mile radius.

FAQs from page 3B Is there a difference in tuition to attend a different school?

Long Island’s Catholic Elementary schools set their own tuitions, so they vary slightly, but there is no penalty for choosing a school outside of your Parish or town if you are a Parishioner in the Diocese. The system of schools is an asset here on Long Island for all of the families of the Diocese and for all of the families of Long Island.

Are non-Catholics welcome in the schools?

The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students participate in Liturgies, and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of students who attend because of the quality of the education alone.

What should parents look for during their visit?

Many parents of current students tell us that their decision was emotional and based on a feeling of

warmth and caring they got during their visit. Others are more analytical and make direct comparisons based on the results on standardized test scores and high school admittance history. Regardless of

how you make your decision, the schools are “open books” during this week, providing whatever information prospective families desire to support their decision. There is also a series of video interviews on the website (licatholicelementaryschools.org) where current parents offer their advice on how to get the most out of your visit.

When parents select Catholic elementary school, what are the most frequently cited reasons?

The reasons that are most frequently mentioned are: academic excellence, the reinforcement of the values lived at home, Catholic religious identity, a safe, nurturing environment for learning, more individualized attention to each student’s learning needs, an outstanding extracurricular program and the level of partnership established with parents.

Will attending Catholic elementary schools help my child get into a prestigious Catholic high school?

Attending a Catholic elementary school isn’t the only way to get into a Catholic high school, but it is still the best way. The Catholic high schools are open to all students and typically have a very significant number of students from a public school background. Students qualify for Catholic high school through a test for 8th graders that is administered in October of each year.

Typically the students from Catholic elementary schools are best prepared for the academic rigor, the integrated program of faith and values, and the service orientation of the high schools. Virtually all of the students from Catholic elementary school (99 percent) are admitted to a Catholic high school, with the vast majority getting into the school that is their first choice.

How can I learn more or choose the school(s) I would like to visit?

There is a resource for families on the Internet that provides a very complete picture of the Catholic elementary school experience. It features an interactive map that is your guide to each of Long island’s distinctive Catholic schools and that lets you view the geographic options for your children at www.licatholicelementaryschools.org.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK • JANUARY 25 - 31, 2017

JANUARY 29 - FEBRUARY 4, 2017

Catholic Schools Week Celebrates The Rich Tradition Of Catholic Education Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It begins the last Sunday in January, which in 2017 is Jan. 29 and runs through Saturday, Feb. 4. The theme for Catholic Schools Week is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” During Catholic Schools Week, schools across the Diocese, and across the country, mark the occasion with Masses and special entertainment and activities for the students, families, parishioners and members of their extended communities. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and the school’s contributions to the church, communities and the nation.

to thank parents and parishioners, and to introduce new families to the benefits of a Catholic education. These frequently kick off with a Mass and open house on the first Sunday (but can be held early, as St. Patrick in Huntington is doing theirs on Thursday the 26th) and a series of

events designed to recognize the contributions of students, parents and faculty during the course of the week. Many schools offer additional open houses and opportunities to visit during the week as well. Catholic schools are unique in many significant ways, and Catholic

HELP PROTECT CATHOLIC FAMILIES e Knights of Columbus is looking for Catholic men to serve as field agents. Do you have what it takes?

Schools Week highlights many of those differences. First, Catholic education acknowledges the parents as the original teachers in each of our lives and celebrates the continued and ongoing involvement of parents in their child’s education, and with their child’s school. Catholic education is not a ‘bystander sport’ for parents, and their participation and service to their child’s education, and as part of the community that supports all of the students, is celebrated with recognition and acknowledgment events to thank them for their commitment. Catholic Schools Week is also a week to acknowledge the teachers and administrators from the schools who give so much of themselves because they believe in the value of a Catholic education. The teachers’ and staff’s contributions are often recognized through special breakfasts and luncheons that are often prepared by, and served by grateful parents. And Catholic Schools Week is a highlight on every student’s calendar.

Catholic Schools Week is also the best opportunity for families who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education to experience firsthand the commitment to academic excellence and faith formation in your local school. There you’ll find a unique community environment where children are surrounded by other children, families and a parish which serve to reinforce moral values and beliefs.

DIOCESAN NEWS

Around The Diocese Welcome Bishop John Barres

Most Reverend John O. Barres, S.T.D., J.C.L., D.D., 56, pictured left, was appointed by Pope Francis to serve as the fifth Bishop of Rockville Centre. The appointment was made public in Washington, December 9, 2016 by Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States. Bishop-designate Barres will assume leadership of the Diocese during a Mass of Installation at the Cathedral of Saint Agnes on January 31, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. Until that time, Bishop Murphy will serve as Apostolic Administrator. Previously, Barres served as Bishop of the Diocese of Allentown, PA. He succeeds Bishop William Murphy, 76, who has led the Diocese of Rockville Centre since 2001. “It is my deep conviction that he will be a Bishop for all of us without exception,” said Bishop William Murphy (pictured right). “He has shared with me his love of youth and his care for the elderly. He has a keen sense of parish life and has a special expertise in education. He has a deep love for the poor and will support Catholic Charities,

parish outreach as well as Catholic hospitals on Long Island. He will be a good neighbor to our brothers and sisters of the Christian churches, our Jewish and Muslim friends

and the many civic and political leaders with whom he will work in building up Long Island for future generations. Above all, he is a man of prayer, both the prayer of the

Church through Eucharist and the sacraments as well as the many devotions of our Catholic tradition, especially the Blessed Virgin and St. Agnes,” said Bishop Murphy.

Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti

Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti, the finalist from America’s Got Talent, and graduate of Our Lady of Mercy elementary school and Holy Trinity Diocesan High School, has had a big year! Valentinetti, who used to deliver pizzas for a shop in Albertson is best known for his outstanding covers of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” and “That’s Life”. In July, Valentinetti was advanced straight to the quarterfinals of America’s Got Talent by Judge Heidi Klum. Since then, Valentinetti has opened for comedians Jay Leno and Joe Piscopo, he sang a duet with Heidi Klum on an AGT Christmas special in December, and sold out all three shows at the Paramount in Huntington where he performed Rat Pack-era standards and delivered personal and funny monologues about his family and about home life here on Long Island.

Catholic High Schools STEM Initiatives

St. Anthony’s High School has become the only high school in the state, and one of only about 20 high schools in the country, to offer a virtual-reality cadaver table as part of its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) program. The 3-D virtual cadaver table provides a three-dimensional experience in looking at and cutting into a cadaver. Brother Gary Cregan, principal at St. Anthony’s, is using colleges as his model for upgrading STEM education. The new cadaver table is part of the school’s science research program which includes a molecular biology lab where students will do DNA work. St. Anthony’s is not alone in their quest for superior STEM capabilities; Holy Trinity High School in Hicksville has built a small home on campus that uses solar energy and is a test bed for

advanced energy technologies. Chaminade High School is building a new 36,000 square foot, state-of-the-art science, technology and engineering building slated for opening in 2017, and St. Dominic’s High School in Oyster Bay has established a partnership with the DNA Learning Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in its multi-million dollar STEM center that was opened in 2012.

DIOCESAN NEWS from page 10B A Wave Of New Chromebooks Arrive In The Schools

Over the past year, the Catholic elementary schools have put over 800 new Chromebooks into service to continue to expand their capabilities to leverage the Google Apps for Education. Google Apps for Education, now called the G Suite for Education, is a collaborative work environment where students do research, work individually or in groups, and create projects that are submitted and reviewed online. The new Chromebooks join a rich technology environment in the schools which already are Wi-Fi enabled, utilize interactive whiteboards in classrooms, have Windows and Mac computer labs, and provide iPads and Chromebooks for students.

Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation Grant Delivers Additional iPads

In news announced in January on the Telecare Telethon, Lewis Ranieri, chairman and founder of the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation, announced that the foundation would be supplying approximately 30 new iPads a month to schools in the diocese. The program is slated to run for two years. The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation is a

charitable organization that solicits donations from businesses and individuals on Long Island to support elementary school students and schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. The primary mission of Tomorrow’s Hope is to provide scholarships and grants to families who would like to give their children a quality Catholic education, but need a little financial assistance to make that a reality.

36th Annual Honor Band Concert Scheduled

With the various Christmas concerts and shows behind them, musicians from across the Diocese are beginning to think of participating in the 2017 Catholic Schools Honor Band concerts which will be held on March 4, 2017. The concerts, offered as an afternoon and evening show to accommodate all of the musicians qualified to participate, will again be held in the auditorium at St Anthony’s High School. Students who are identified by their school band directors as top band students are given the opportunity to come together for a unique and enriching musical experience. Honor Band is a chance for enthusiastic, motivated, and talented band students to perform with other top musicians from the region.

Calling it “A 21st-Century Electronic Doorway”, St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School showcased its recently reopened library, now a state-of-the-art learning hub. The library/media center includes a video and TV production MAC lab, a flex laptop classroom, a college preparatory research center, a large conference room, a 12-screen media presentation space with digital archiving and 3D printing capability. It is a completely wireless space, allowing students full access to Wi-Fi. With an abundance of new and improved resources, students can work collaboratively, pursue academic interests and learn how to conduct college level research projects. St. John’s has partnered with the library science department and interns from St. John’s University in order to learn and integrate coding and metadata analysis, web design and information technology. The new media center allows teachers and students to operate in large gatherings, small groups, or oneon-one instruction.

Parent Meetings Solicit Feedback

A new series of meetings is being hosted by Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Walsh to increase the opportunities for parents to directly hear from and interact with her and her team from the Department of Education. The meetings, called Making Connections, are being held monthly on Saturday mornings in the Department of Education building at 128 Cherry Ln. in Hicksville. “We have had a number of very productive meetings to-date.” Said Dr. Walsh. “Parents have always been an important part of the success of our students, now the parents who are nice enough to give of their time at these meetings are able to have a greater voice in overall direction and success of all of the schools.” Parents of current students who want to participate may contact the office at the Department of Education at 516-280-2963 for the upcoming meeting schedule.

We create a better environment for learning. Rooted in kindness and respect, the ethos of a Catholic school emerges from the fact that students know that God loves them and that they are precious in His eyes. That they are accepted for who they really are. Uniforms remove many of the surface-level distractions of social status and peer pressure, and children learn that their value is not based on how others see them but on God’s always faithful love for them.

The Catholic School Choice What’s right for your child?

BY COLLEEN MAIDHOF cmaidhof@antonmediagroup.com

This is the time when parents are pondering their children’s acceptance letters to local Catholic schools. Given that Long Island has excellent public school districts funded by taxpayers, the choice to instead pay thousands of dollars for a parochial high school education is one parents don’t make lightly. Both parents and students have a lot to consider, including whether they want to integrate faith into their education, adhere to a required dress code and learn in a single-sex classroom. Ultimately the choice is a personal one and every family has its own priorities. “It’s an investment, but there are a lot of benefits to going to a Catholic school if it’s right for the child,” said Christina Buehler, director of communications at St. Anthony’s High School in Huntington. One consideration, Buehler said, is whether the parent and child want religion to be part of their high school experience. That is true for Julie Pellerito of Plandome, who has three children in Catholic school, including a sophomore in St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset. She said that Catholic school prepares children academically and spiritually, and her family’s strong faith helped them make the choice. “The spiritual aspect in the learning environment is very important to my family and that is why we chose Catholic school,” she said. “Children have daily prayers, which they don’t have in a public school system. They also attend mass with the other grades, go to confession and learn to make sacraments.” The strict discipline standards of Catholic schools were also important to Pellerito. “It teaches them responsibility and accountability,” she said. “If they are late for a class, they serve a detention. They have to adhere to the rules of the school, which prepares them for everyday life.” Pellerito’s favorite aspect of her child’s school as a parent is the sense of community and safety it provides. “Everyone looks out for one another and knows each other. If someone is falling behind, the parents get involved. The teachers want your child to work to their full potential,” she said. Another factor to consider is the

Catholic school dress code, as they require students to wear uniforms. “Students coming from a public school are used to picking their own clothes. But most new students quickly find out how much easier it is to wear a uniform because everyone is the same and they aren’t competing with one another,” said Margaret Myhan, director of marketing and a graduate of Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset. One of the other choices parents and students struggle with is whether to select a coed or single-gender school. Each has its own advantages.

Buehler said that a coed school like St. Anthony’s High School mimics the public school environment. “An all-girls’ and all-boys’ high school has its own benefits,” she said. “In a coed school, students are interacting with their peers that are eventually going to be their coworkers and it’s a familiar classroom setting for them.” Myhan explained that an all-girls’ high school like Our Lady of Mercy is meant to empower young women. “Girls can excel in clubs, sports and extracurricular activities,” she said. “In the classroom, they can pursue areas like technology, sciences and

math in which they may hesitate to take a leadership role in if they had boys sitting beside them.” According to Myhan the curriculum is tailored specifically for young women and their faith. “The teachers are aware that these young women are coming into their own,” she said. “They structure the curriculum so students have the greatest advantage to express their opinions openly and to grow their own intrinsic values and interests.” Like an all-girls’ Catholic high school, an all-boys’ Catholic high school differs greatly from a coed public school. Brother Thomas Cleary, president of Chaminade High School in Mineola, said it isn’t for everyone. “Some young men prefer it because a classroom with girls can sometimes be a distraction for them.” Parents may also worry about their child’s transition from public to parochial school. According to Cleary, more than half of the students at Chaminade come from public schools and many will be going through the same transitions together. “Over the years, we found that students need to learn how to structure and organize themselves when transitioning from a public school,”

SCHOOL CHOICE from page 14B said Cleary. “To help them with this transition, we spend a lot of the first year teaching these students how to organize, study, discipline themselves and manage their time.” According to Cleary, the school’s curriculum is more challenging than a public school and more is expected from the students. “The passing final grade at Chaminade is 75. If a student doesn’t pass at the end of the year, they can’t return the next year,” he said. Even though the curriculum is rigorous, Cleary explained that it will help the students grow. “Our main mission is to teach faith and build up the values and characteristics of a Catholic gentleman,” said Cleary. “Our students transform into young men.” While integrating their faith in an educational environment, Catholic school students are taught academic skills that can prepare them for exams and college. Myhan explained the classroom structure and studying emphasis is more rigorous when transferring from a public to a Catholic school. “They learn in freshman class that they have to apply themselves in order to be successful and they learn study skills,” said Myhan. “Alumnae have come back and said what they

learned here at the Academy made it easy for them to transition into college.” Regardless of what choice parents and students make, Buehler said the emphasis needs to be on an environment in which they can thrive. “It’s important that the student is in the right environment so they can succeed,” she explained. “It’s also important for the child and parent to determine what kind of school is best for them.”

If a student is comfortable in their school, they will get involved. “A majority of our students don’t go home after school because they want to stay and take part in extracurricular activities,” Buehler said. “They want to socialize and continue learning after the final bell rings, and be a part of our community.” Attending a Catholic school can even launch a lifelong journey. Carol Dunning’s 18-year-old daughter graduated from St. Mary’s

and chose to integrate her faith in an educational environment after high school. “My daughter loved her experience at St. Mary’s High School. She chose to go to Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, to continue learning and including her faith in her learnings,” said Dunning. Once you choose the right path for your family, you never know where it could lead.

Saint Joseph’s College Program Focuses on Career Development for Students

What is Connections? It’s Saint Joseph’s College’s premier, personal and professional development program that encourages experiential learning, delivering hands-on experience to all Saint Joseph’s College students. To accomplish this inclusive goal, strategic collaboration occurs between the College’s Career Development Office, Institutional Advancement, and the Alumni Office, bringing the whole idea of career preparation under one roof. Alumni who have developed their passions into meaningful careers serve as mentors for students; faculty with career insight and insider tips lead students to the right sources for their careers’ next steps; and the College supports students’ plans for learning outside of the classroom.

Connections fosters a complete professional experience for all students, who are provided with opportunities to make connections between their passions, their coursework, and their futures through career development sessions, networking socials, careerfocused academic programs, and the promise of funding for experiential learning. Focused on preparing its students for life after college, Saint Joseph’s pledges to financially support students to pursue an experiential learning opportunity in their junior or senior year—to the tune of $2,000. Backed by their professor, the College will provide each student the opportunity to utilize a grant of up to $2,000 to be applied to a hands-on learning experience, whether that’s an internship, study abroad or volunteer program, or to pursue research in the field of their choice. Saint Joseph’s College helps to ensure students keep the career connections they make by providing students with

their own business cards. It’s a tried-andtrue approach to connecting professionals to professionals, tomorrow’s leaders to today’s leaders, and young entrepreneurs to other like-minded visionaries. Designed and printed in house, Connections provides every student the opportunity to get their own Saint Joseph’s College business card, which prominently displays the student’s name, class year, major, and contact information. So when a student connects with a nationally renowned photographer on a whale shark expedition off the Yucatán Peninsula, a simple exchange at the end of the excursion will connect student to professional, visionary to vision. It’s all about making and keeping connections, and Saint Joseph’s College is making it happen. Learn more about the Connections program at sjcme.edu/connections. 164146 C

From their first day on campus, Saint Joseph’s College students know that there is something unique about their choice in college—that they are at the heart of every decision that is made, all of which is reinforced by the Connections program.

Located at the gateway of the Lakes Region and four-season recreation, Saint Joseph’s College inspires learning, living, and achieving. With a variety of career-focused academic programs delivered both on-campus and online, Saint Joseph’s College is truly a destination for lifelong learning and growth.
