Enrichment
Augmenting a strong core curriculum, St. Patrick extends and reinforces learning with a diverse array of enrichment activities to maximize student potential.
Creative thinking strategies such as fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration are infused into the curriculum. Mind Benders and daily logic problems increase inductive and deductive reasoning skills and analytic thinking.
Academic: PSIA; Mathcounts; Science Fair and field trips
Athletics: Soccer, Track and Basketball
Fine Arts: Field trips to Angelina College and Stephen F. Austin
Physical Education: Field Day, basketball and soccer units of instruction
Religion/Faith Community: Weekly Children’s Liturgy, Pet Blessing, Holy Week celebrations and re-enactments, Advent celebrations, Thanksgiving Feast and myriad Christian service activities.
Participation in extracurricular activities
Students must maintain a passing average in all classes in order to participate in extracurricular sports, including practices and games, and extracurricular academic events. If a student has a failing average in any class on a progress report or a report card, the student will not be allowed to participate in these events until/unless the student has a passing average in all classes on the next progress report or report card. If a student has an incomplete on a progress report or report card, the student will not be allowed to participate in extracurricular sports or academic events until/unless the incomplete is replaced with a passing grade for the class(es). The teacher and principal may allow the student to participate in the event if the incomplete is due to an excused absence and the teacher believes the grade will be passing once the incomplete is resolved. If a student has a failing grade in conduct on a report card, the student will not be allowed to participate in extracurricular sports or academic events until/unless the student has a passing grade in conduct on the next progress report.
