The WASC Accreditation Re-Visit Report is Complete
The WCEA/WASC Visiting Committee Report of St. Patrick School has been completed for the
2007-2008 school year and is available for viewing in the office. St.Patrick's was awarded one year accreditation

The visiting team summary states:
“It is evident that St. Patrick School has taken the results of its last full visit seriously, and has
begun the long process of essentially rebuilding the school from the inside-out. During the visit
the team learned of the many steps the school as taken to improve itself, ranging from supervision to curriculum. The leadership team was organized in its presentation to the team, and very honest regarding their current status, and outlook for the future.”

The Visiting Committee left us additional areas of growth which we will address on an ongoing
basis. As always, assistance from the entire community will be appreciated. Any parents and/or guardians who are interested in serving on a committee are wholeheartedly invited to do so. The following four areas will be our immediate focus:

School Organization
Curriculum Instruction
Students Services, and
Resource Management.

Please contact Principal Rieshcick or other CSAC members if you're interested in helping with one or more of these committees. Your input and involvement is vital!

St. Patrick School is the primary educational ministry of St. Rose Parish, drawing
K-8 students from throughout the Sacramento area. The St. Patrick community is economically and culturally diverse, providing a comprehensive Christ-centered educational experience in a safe, caring, welcoming environment. The teachings of our Catholic faith and the living-out of Gospel values are an integral part of all aspects of the educational program, providing our students with a firmly grounded spiritual base and empowering our students to be life-long learners and compassionate, productive citizens.

St. Patrick School is a Diocesan elementary school serving students in grades K through 8. The St. Patrick School community is culturally and economically diverse and provides students with an environment rich in opportunities to learn and practice Christ-centered values through developing a spirit of generosity, kindness, and understanding of others while instilling in each child a clear sense of social justice and respect for all. Our philosophy of education is firmly grounded in our Catholic beliefs. We strive to meet the needs of our student body by enabling our students to develop as whole persons reaching their individual potential through a well-rounded curriculum that is rooted in Gospel values. Paramount among these are the tenets that each student is a unique individual created in God’s image and that each student has the right to learn in an environment that provides an atmosphere of respect, acceptance, safety, and equity.

It is the expectation of St. Patrick parents that their children receive an educational experience that will allow each student to grow to their full potential spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically, aesthetically, emotionally and morally. Recognizing parents as the primary educators of their children, the faculty works in collaboration with parents to fulfill parent expectations through the modeling and practice of moral and ethical values and the creation of an environment and an educational program in which each child can learn to think, judge, act, and serve others as Christ would. Through the development of true Christian values we prepare our students to know, love, and serve God, and to take their places as ambassadors of our faith and productive members of the world community.
