HOT LUNCH PROGRAM

 

St. Pius partners with local restaurants to offer students the opportunity to purchase lunch.  We focus our lunch selections to healthy and delicious choices for children.  Parents are able to order lunch for their child online, and the school cafeteria is staffed by parent volunteers.

Academic Enrichment

 

Each child is unique, and no two children learn in the same way.  St. Pius X has an Academic Enrichment Program available for students with identified learning differences.

Our Academic Enrichment program comprises two teachers and one instructional assistant who assist students in elementary and middle grades.  Academic Enrichment educators work with students and parents to create Student Accommodation Plans (SAP) for students who have learning disorders or other medical or physiological needs.  Once an SAP is created for a child, they may receive services in the form of test and assignment modification, one-on-one work with an Academic Enrichment teacher in our dedicated Academic Enrichment Center, or preferential seating in class. 

We want your child to love learning.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to discuss your child's specific needs and how we can best support and challenge your child at his/her individual level.
