Mission Statement

The mission of St. Bernadette Catholic School is to provide an excellent education for our students in a faith-based environment. The Parish and school community strive to advance the spiritual, academic, social, emotional and physical development of our students. Our goal is to prepare each child to maintain a close relationship with God, to continually grow in personal holiness, and to live out Christian values in his or her lifetime.

 

2007 Design for Excellence

Dear Prospective Parents

God be with you!

Whenever I hear that wonderful greeting, I have to remind myself that we say it not to invoke the Lord's presence, since He is always with us. Rather, we say it so that we may pay attention to His presence and take comfort in the fact that we are never alone. During this school year, I invite you to come see the many marvelous ways that God is with us at St. Bernadette. We live out our mission on a daily basis, by challenging our students intellectually, guiding them socially, and nurturing them spiritually. We work in unison with each other, across the curriculum and across grade levels, to provide the very best for the children. And we strive to work with parents in all areas, since parents are the children's first and foremost teachers. Jesus, indeed, is the Master Teacher, whose gentleness, wisdom and compassion we are called to emulate.  

Welcome to the St. Bernadette family. And, as always, God be with you.

 Mrs. Trish Beeks

H1N1 Videos

For Immediate Release
September 23, 2009


Online Videos Provide H1N1 Guidance to Parents and Schools
Videos Feature Practical Steps to Prevent Spread of Swine Flu


The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), has produced two videos to inform parents, teachers, school administrators, school nurses and other educators of steps they can take to prevent the transmission of H1N1 influenza (also known as swine flu) and seasonal influenza.

The videos H1N1 for Parents and H1N1 for Educators are available for viewing on the VDOE H1N1 influenza Web site at this address:

http://www.doe.virginia.gov/support/health_medical/influenza/index.shtml.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Patricia I. Wright and VDH Commissioner Karen Remley are asking school divisions to post links to both videos on school and division Web sites and are encouraging school divisions with e-mail notification systems to forward links to both videos directly to parents and staff members.

The videos focus on practical steps that should be taken in homes and schools to reduce the risk of infection and minimize the disruption of instruction, Dr. Wright said. VDOE and VDH will continue to work in partnership to make sure parents and schools have accurate and up-to-date information on H1N1 influenza.

The videos drive home the point that students and staff who become ill need to stay home until they are fever free without the aid of a fever reducing medication for at least 24 hours, said Dr. Remley. By following this and the other practical steps featured in these brief videos, parents, teachers, principals and other school employees can have a real impact on the spread of H1N1 and seasonal influenza. 

The videos were produced by in-house VDOE staff with guidance from VDH and the assistance of Alexandria Public Schools and Fluvanna County Public Schools.

Choosing St. Bernadette School

For us, choosing St. Bernadette School for our children means never having to choose between our children’s academic enrichment and their moral and spiritual development. Catholic schools have the freedom to talk about what is most important: God and human destiny. At St. Bernadette School, we’ve found our children learn moral and spiritual values (compassion, respect for life, and a close relationship with Christ) within the framework of a superior academic foundation. The true value of a Catholic education is exemplified at St. B’s: a safe, nurturing environment filled with qualified, dedicated teachers, administrators and staff who instill spiritual and academic growth in children.
--Carlos and Christine Gacharnan
