The mathematics curriculum for middle school students is both challenging and exciting. The topics being covered will meet the Archdiocese of Portland standards. I believe that school should be a safe, nurturing environment that serves to facilitate a rich learning experience. As a partner in your child’s education, I am looking forward to sharing this school year at St. Ignatius with you.
