Welcome!

 

Welcome to the day school ministry at the parish of St. Stephen! I could not be happier that you are interested in our school for your child(ren). It is our hope that this web-site will provide you with timely information about our school.

 

Our ministry serves children and families in grades kindergarten through 8th, in addition to interacting with other families and ministries in the parish. There are two classes of children at each grade level, giving us an enrollment of approximately 450 students from over 300 families. 

 

The school day begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 2:15 p.m. Anoka-Hennepin School District 11 provides busing for students who live in the northwestern zone of District 11. We have families registered at the school who drive from Anoka, Champlin, Dayton, Ramsey, Elk River, Zimmerman, Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and Andover.

 

In addition to our K-5 self-contained classroom instruction of core curriculum, we have licensed encore teachers in the areas of Art, Media/Computer, Music, Physical Education and Spanish. Our Middle School Teachers are licensed to teach their specific content areas.  The Middle School students also receive direct instruction in Spanish, Health/PE, Art and Music.  Media and Technology instruction is integrated into each content area.

 

Middle School students participate in extra-curricular activities. Three seasons of girls and boys athletics, a writers club, a yearbook club, and a choir.  Individual and large group band lessons are offered during the school day to help accommodate families schedules.

 

Catholic Social Teachings guide the students in their numerous service projects. 

It is an exciting time in education as we work to fulfill the mission of the parish and the school. Questions regarding curriculum, registration or other aspects about our day school ministry can be answered by calling our office at (763) 421-3236. Thank you again for showing interest in our school.
