H.E.P.P. Health Education Prevention Program
H.E.P.P. is a ten-week course provided to students in Grades 1 through 8. An outside educator from the Nassau County Dept. of Health instructs our students in topics including peer mediation, conflict resolution, drug prevention, and peer tolerance.
Family Life
In conjunction with our religion program, our family life educational course work is taught in Grades 5 and 6. In line with Jesus' gospel messages, this program focuses on the value of human life, conception, reproduction, and birth. Prior to the onset of this course study, parents are given an outline of the topics to be taught. If a parent does not want the child to participate in a particular program, a note should be written to the child's teacher. An alternative activity will be provided.
