The basic program of Grades K-8 consists of classes in Religion*, Family Life, Reading, Math, English, Social Studies, Science, Music, Art, Computer, Physical Education and Nutrition (Full Focus). Extracurricular activities include Choir, Concert Chorus, Altar Servers, Student Council, After-school sports programs, Community-sponsored contests, and Service projects. * All students (Catholic-non-Catholic). The religion program comprises the basic Silver Burdett Series, Blest Are We, and the sacramental program for The Rites of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. Students are given the opportunity to plan and participate in school Masses, Penance liturgies, and prayer services. Guidance in Christian living and values is an integral part of the program. The Parish offers opportunities for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Catholics are obliged to attend Mass every week-end. Your children are here to learn the Catholic Faith. Parents must model what is believed and taught.  The standardized testing program is that of the Archdiocese, the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS), a Diagnostic test, which measures skills and abilities and provides the teacher and parents with information as to which areas of the curriculum an individual may need help. Students in grades five and eight also take the ACRE Test which is an assessment of their knowledge of the Catholic Religion. Tests supplied by the publishers of the various textbooks as well as teacher prepared tests, are given periodically in order to evaluate the progress of the students. Title 1 is the federally funded program for students who fall below the 30th percentile in the ITBS scores. This tutoring program is provided for Holy Family Grade School Students who live within the boundaries set by the Glendale Unified School District. The tutorial services deal with reading and math skills. | Mission Statement | Philosophy | History | Curriculum and Programs | Technology | Schoolwide Learning Expectations | Policies | Tuition and Fees | Discipline | | Return Home | Administration and Faculty | About HFGS | 2009-10 Calendar | Parents Guild | Information & Services | Alumni Registration | Parents' Corner | |
