Fourth Grade

Welcome to Intermediate School! Fourth grade is the year where students build upon skills learned in the primary grades, gain confidence in their abilities, and develop into independent learners.

We have high expectations for our students and provide them with opportunities to challenge themselves intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. Not only do our students meet these expectations, they often exceed them. Our technology classes, both in the lab and with the iBooks, enhance the problem solving and learning which takes place in the classroom. Regular homework assignments help establish organizational skills and self-discipline, preparing students for a successful academic future. During fourth grade, students celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This celebration is a true reminder of our students' achievements and the depth of their personal growth.
