A Message from Sr. Mary Esther, Principal

Welcome to the website of St. Nicholas of Tolentine's School. We are an accredited elementary school that takes pride in providing a high standard of education in a Christ-centered environment. We stress the basics, in order to provide a strong foundation to expand and enrich the learning process. We strive to attain the goal of well educated students rooted in faith, who contribute to their Church and community and are trained to become the future leaders of our society.

Working with our faculty to attain this goal is our Home and School Association. Through their fundraising efforts we have been able to purchase equipment that could not have been possible without their vigorous help:

* Wireless Internet has been installed in both School buildings. The latest technology, (802.11N) system, consisting of 5 Dual Wireless N Access Points, by Netgear.
* purchase new furniture for the library
* new stage curtains
* lease copy machines
* pay for trash removal
* provide ongoing staff development
* purchase a Smart Board
* 55 inch flat screen TV
* Two (2) Power Point Projectors
* Eight (8) new lap top computers
These are just a few of their accomplishments.

For those of you new to St. Nicholas, we are currently accepting new students in all grades. Our school consists of daycare for 2 and 3 year old children, Pre-K for 4 year olds and Grades K-8.

I invite all of you to explore our website and find out more exciting news about St. Nicholas School.
Sr. Mary Esther Carsele, M.P.F., Principal

School Improvement begins at home!

Helping your child succeed is the first step toward improving our school.

Another Gem!
