St. Jude Kindergarten Fact Sheet
St. Jude Kindergarten Information
The kindergarten program at St. Jude began in the fall of 2007.
Class size:
There is a maximum class size of 20 students per class. There is
both a morning and an afternoon session. Parents may choose either
morning or afternoon for their child. Extended day care is available
to morning students.
Kindergarten class times:
Morning: 7:50a.m. - 10:30a.m.
Afternoon: 11:30a.m. - 2:20 p.m.
Extended day care:
Students enrolled in morning kindergarten have the option of remaining
at St. Jude for an extended care program until the end of the full
school day at 2:20 for an additional fee. The extended care program
is housed in a classroom within the school building. Kindergarten
students are also eligible for the regular aftercare program that
allows students to remain at school in a supervised setting from
2:20 - 6:00.
Transportation:
Kindergarteners may take the morning bus or the afternoon bus if
their school district of residence currently provides busing to
St. Jude. (i.e. Kindergarteners can ride the morning bus to school
or the afternoon bus home from school with older siblings or neighborhood
children if the public school district already provides busing to
and from St. Jude.). At this time, there is no transportation from
either the Oak Hills or Three Rivers School Districts at mid-day.
Uniforms:
The kindergarten students follow the same uniform policy as all
other students as outlined in the school handbook.
Registration:
Kindergarten registration will take place along with the all-school
registration in mid-February. Information will be available in the
church bulletin, web site and at the school open house in January.
Parish Membership:
While priority is given to children of St. Jude Parish families,
families of kindergarteners are not required to be members of St.
Jude Parish. Families of kindergarteners that are members of a Catholic
parish that does not offer a kindergarten program at their school
will be eligible for in-parish tuition.
Open House:
St. Jude will host an open house for all interested families on
Sunday January 27, 2008 from Noon- 2:00 p.m. This is an excellent
opportunity to tour the building, meet Mr. Bob Huber, the principal,
meet other staff members and talk with parents that have chosen
St. Jude for their children.
