More than Sixty-Five Years
Welcome to Notre Dame School!
We extend a special welcome to those families from
St. Thomas the Apostle, St. Christopher and
St. Raymond's School.
The closing of a school is always a time filled with emotion. If you are interested in learning more about our school, please call our office to arrange an in-person tour. Explore our website and please feel free to contact us. We offer a healthy enrollment with two classes on each grade, small class sizes and
a wonderful environment.

We have changed our procedure for the weekly health screening. Please be sure to complete the sheet that was sent home with your child or print from below. Each student must bring a copy to the door for entry to the building.
Health Form
If your child has forgotten the Health Screening form and you receive a call, please copy and paste the link below to fill out online. This is only if your child arrives to school without the form; we prefer the hard copy.

We do realize that many of you depend upon our After-Care Program; however, we are unable to offer it safely at this time.
I am happy to introduce Project Alpha
