In preparation for the return of students to campus, after 18 months of assorted learning environments, St. Monica Catholic Elementary School recognized the need to adopt a new approach to teaching and discipline. The core belief of Responsive Classroom is an emphasis is on helping students develop their academic, social and emotional skills in a learning environment that is developmentally responsive to their strengths and needs.

St. Monica Catholic Schools is happy to welcome the Class of 2022 to their first last day as a Seahawk. 8th Grade is an important milestone in the Catholic Elementary school journey. These students will experience leadership and mentoring opportunities through athletics, school families, Christian service at Bread & Roses, and in their religious journey with Msgr. Torgerson.

Join the whole community to kick off the Feast of St. Monica weekend with Food Truck Night. In the school yard we will have several tasty dining options available for purchase, St. Monica's talented singers will put on a concert, and all can enjoy an evening of fellowship, food and entertainment under the Santa Monica stars.

Our 8th Grader’s concluded their Middle School journey being tasked with a unique project. As a part of their religion class they explored the importance of good habits and the seven sins that hinder Christian happiness and growth. For this final project, they were asked to create a song/rap and music video that demonstrates their understanding of the virtues and sins. The music video and song needed to included both the seven virtues and the seven deadly sins .

Do you know the best time to fly a kite? Our 6th grade Earth Science class does. They studied a unit on weather and the causes of wind, learning about convection currents which are responsible for the winds that are common along the beach this time of year. Our capable 6th graders can explain how and why these winds form. This project culminated with a 7 block walk to the beach to put their knowledge into practice.
