  • Holy Redeemer Catholic School Uniform Policy for K-8 2021-2022
    Holy Redeemer Catholic School Uniform Policy for K-8 2021-2022 Our current school uniform was adopted to create a sense of community and to help students stay focused on learning.

Non-uniform items such as sweatshirts, jackets, hats and scarves are only permitted when students are out of doors before school, during recess, and after school.

  • All Saints Catholic School Uniform Dress Code PURPOSE: the Dress Code at All Saints Catholic School Is to Help Provide a Safe L
    All Saints Catholic School Uniform Dress Code PURPOSE: The dress code at All Saints Catholic School is to help provide a safe learning environment that emphasizes the dignity of each student as well as developing pride in the school and oneself. Uniforms allow students to focus on academics rather than dress. Students are reminded that whenever they are wearing their school uniform, they are representing All Saints. The school’s dress code also serves to develop healthy attitudes regarding Christian modesty. Uniform supervision is first and foremost the responsibility of the parents/guardians. The administration and faculty will monitor student compliance with the dress code. The administration reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of a student’s general appearance and compliance with the code. Boys Regular Weekly Uniform ● White, navy blue, or light blue polo shirt, either short or long sleeved with ASCS logo. ● Solid navy or khaki pants or walking shorts - no outside pockets or rivets ● White, black, or navy blue socks ● Close-toed shoes ● Optional: ○ Navy blue cardigan, sweater vest, sweatshirt, or fleece vest (ASCS Logo optional, but no other visible logos permitted.) ○ School spirit day t-shirts for Mondays (Sold by Guardian Angels) worn with uniform pants Boys Mass Uniform (K-6) ● White or light blue button up collared shirt (ASCS logo optional) ● Solid navy or khaki pants ● White, black, or navy blue socks ● Close-toed shoes Girls Regular Weekly Uniform ● White, navy blue, or light blue polo shirt, either short or

  • From the Editor
    From the Editor Dear E-mentor readers, We are thrilled to observe that our efforts to publish E-mentor journal in English has met such a great interest. That is the fourth edition of the jour- nal prepared and published within the scope of a grant funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. We do hope to be able to continue the project of issuing the international version of E-mentor in the following years as it has proved to be a success. In the current edition, one may distinguish two main directions of consid- eration. The first one refers to the role of information and communication technologies both in education and in business. The latter reflects the chal- lenges that the logistics industry faces nowadays due to the ‘disruptive’ role of IT. Sensors, robots, automation, cloud computing, data analysis, 3D print- ing, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, digital twins or blockchain technology are the examples of disruption mentioned by the author of the paper. Concerning the university, IT appears in the context of adaptive learning and its advantages analyzed by the team of the authors from the University of Central Florida and the Colorado Technical University, with Professor Charles Dziuban as a leader. IT is also present in the papers concerning foreign language learning by the use of videoconferences, instant messaging apps, and international collaboration tools. The concept of professional development through the online course is another example of using IT for academic purposes. Last but not least, is the proposal of an app aimed at eliminating the accessibility barriers, in this case – in Art education.

PC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS *Curriculum Development; Elementary Secondary Education; *Fused Curriculum; *Integrated Curriculum; *Interdisciplinary Approach; Program Effectiveness; Unified Studies Curriculum ABSTRACT This document describes a variety of curriculum integration options ranging from concurrent teaching of related subjects to fusion of curriculum focus to residential study focusing on daily living; from 2-week units to year-long courses. Suggestions are offered for choosing proper criteria for successful curriculum integration, dealing with the attitudes of key individuals and groups; and establishing validity. A step-by-step approach to integration is presented, proceeding from selection of an organizing center to a scope and sequence of guiding questions to a matrix of activities for developing integrated units of study. A distinction is made between curriculum-content and metacurriculum--those learning skills helpful in acquiring the curriculum content being taught and in developing the capacity to think and learn independently. The book illuminates the value of higher-order thinking and learning skills and provides a vehicle for their integration into curriculum.

Every week we are having a different community helper come in and talk to the students about what their role in the community is, how their job helps our community, what kind of technology and tools they use in their job every day, and what can our first graders start doing now to prepare themselves for that job when they get older.

  • Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School Uniform Policy and Dress Code
    Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School Uniform Policy and Dress Code Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School (OLV) requires that all students wear uniforms. Students are to adhere to the OLV dress code at the School and at School functions. This policy is a visible sign of membership in the OLV community. Inside the school, uniform dress is a reminder to students of their equal importance and their common goals. Outside the School, students represent OLV to the public; they represent the School’s name by their attire, the School’s values by their behavior. Uniform guidelines are outlined on the reverse side of this document. The dress code is based on the School’s standards of decorum, good taste, cleanliness, modesty, neatness, and safety. The Principal will determine when a student's appearance is in violation of the code and may confiscate non-conforming articles. The Principal must approve any exceptions to the code. Students should dress in “Sunday Best” when attending mass on Fridays. This will consist of a dress shirt and dark tie for boys. Shirts must be tucked in and pants must be worn with a belt. Girls may wear a jumper or skirt with a blouse that is tucked in. There are several stores in the valley and Anchorage, including Wal-Mart, Sears, and Target that carry the required clothing items. Please make your purchases at these stores only so that we maintain color and style consistency. For those who wish to purchase uniforms online, or through a catalog, we are enrolled with the following programs.
