At Immaculate Conception Elementary School, students enter as dependent Third graders and leave as capable, independent Fifth graders.
It is here that the students make the transition from learning to read, to reading to learn! We foster a true feeling of belonging with emphasis on Christian values, respect and school spirit.
A diverse curriculum that ranges from Saxon mathematics to writing workshops with nationally recognized authors, is offered at all grade levels.
Students are given a solid foundation in core academic subjects as well as receiving instruction in vocal and instrumental music, art, physical education and computers.
A wide variety of extra curricular activities are offered including x-country, basketball, volleyball, track, Odyssey of the Mind, chess club, and choir.
Child care services are provided before and after school through an enrichment program that is coordinated and staffed by Munson Hospital.
At Immaculate Conception, your children will begin to make connections to the world around them in a school environment that is safe and orderly.
We believe in fostering an all-inclusive environment where no student is ever left out.
A visual reminder of this philosophy is reflected on our playground banner 'We Don't Say You Can't Play.' At Immaculate Conception, the most important rule is the Golden Rule.
