Saint Dominic School
Academic Excellence - Catholic Values

As we come to the close of Catholic Schools Week, we are reminded just how strong and special Saint Dominic School truly is. This year’s theme, “United in Faith and Community,” was lived out in meaningful ways—perhaps even more so because the week looked a little different than we originally planned.

While the weather required flexibility and adjustments, it never diminished the spirit of gratitude, faith, and community that defines St. Dominic School.

Catholic Schools Week is always a time to celebrate who we are and what we value: faith at the center, community as our foundation, and partnership with families as our strength. Together, united in faith and community, we continue to grow, serve, and support one another—no matter what the forecast may be!

Stop The Bleed Training

Saint Dominic School Faculty and Staff will be presented with 'Stop the Bleed' training on Wednesday, February 18th. Bleeding control training is a best practice recommendation in emergency preparedness with growing legislative efforts. This hands-on program empowers bystanders to save a life by controlling severe blood loss before Emergency Response arrives. Bleeding control kits have been generously provided to the school by the NJ Office of Homeland Security. These kits include the supplies to perform three core skills to control severe bleeding injuries. We are grateful to the Hackensack Meridian Health Trauma Prevention Program for this lifesaving education opportunity.
