School Life
"A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints." - Pope Benedict XVI

ELIGIBILITY:
1. Must be entering 1st to 8th grades to participate, depending on the activity.
2. Must maintain a minimum “C” average and satisfactory classroom performance.
3. Must balance the time demands of out-of-school activities with homework assignments.
Teachers, parent(s)/legal guardian(s), coaches, and activity moderators must respond together to aid the student in forming a mature response to their academic responsibilities and progress.
Saint Bernard Catholic School acknowledges and affirms the guidelines put forth in the Catholic School Athletic Association (CSAA) Preamble and Regulations, including:
The CSAA promotes Christian competition. Christian competition is embodied in the word “respect”. Those who participate in the CSAA program in any way are expected to show respect for themselves and those they encounter at all times and in all situations. Good sportsmanship is not only expected, it is demanded.
PTO
St. Bernard Catholic School
The purpose of the Parent-Teacher Organization is to foster a positive relationship between Saint Bernard School and it’s families; and to encourage a more active interest and support for Catholic education.
The PTO functions as a committee, and as such, it is responsible for promoting communication between School Personnel and parent(s)/legal guardian(s). The PTO enhances the school curriculum by purchasing learning and teaching materials to aid in the classroom and improves the school facility by making donations toward the purchase of necessary items. In addition, the PTO works with other organizations within the Saint Bernard Parish in an attempt to make the school environment the best it can be.
