Parent Information
Choosing a school for your child is not an easy decision. Your child needs a solid K-8 foundation to ensure their future performance in high school, college and beyond. Academics, social development, arts, physical education and citizenship are all key building blocks for that foundation, and are provided by most schools to some degree. Immaculate Heart of Mary is different from other schools because we add spiritual development to the mix in the form of Roman Catholic religious instruction. God gets equal time in our classrooms! Students attend Mass at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church one day a week during the school year. Additionally, all students are expected to participate in service projects, which vary by grade and season.
The School Day
7:40 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Students are dismissed from class by the teacher, never the bell. The bell at 7:40 AM allows students to enter the building and head to morning prayer or homeroom. The end of the day bell rings at 3:00 PM. Please expect students to begin exiting the building no later than 3:01 PM each day.

Technology
Our Technology Vision/Mission Statement
We will strive to provide equal access to all necessary information for our students, staff members, and people in our school community at any place or time. We will provide an environment where technological resources will offer our students and staff the opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding in the classroom, access and manage vast amounts of information, explore concepts from differing perspectives, and reinforce the development of analytical and critical thinking skills which are necessary for lifelong learning. When students leave our school, they must be equipped to use technology to continue to learn, to grow, and to collaborate and contribute to their community.
