Our fall fundraiser begins, today, Friday, September 29, 2023!

This year, the Saint Dominic School Fall Fundraiser will be a totally ONLINE program! We have once again contracted with Believe Kids Fundraising, a professional online school fundraising organization. Believe Kids Fundraising offers prizes for top sellers!

For families who opted to participate in the fall/spring fundraiser in their school contract, this fundraiser is a great opportunity to fulfill the requirement!

Inside this year's Fall Fundraiser catalog, you will find 100+ items such as jewelry, kitchen accessories, snacks, holiday gift wrap/bags, and much more!

Online orders can be placed beginning September 29, 2023, and through October 13, 2023.

Orders are delivered directly to your home. You no longer have to pick up your ordered goods at school. Out-of-town friends and family will have their orders delivered directly to their homes as well!

We are excited about this opportunity, and we hope you enjoy raising funds for your children’s school through the sale and purchase of quality items.

Should you have questions, please contact Ms. Marjorie Pawlowicz at mpawlowicz@stdomschool.org or 732-840-1412.

The money raised from this fundraiser benefits your children and our school in many ways. We greatly appreciate your orders.

No order is too small! Thank you in advance! 

Progress reports will be sent home with students in kindergarten through second grade on 

Friday, October 6. 

Parents of children in third through eighth grade are asked to access grading and assignment information through their Parent Portal account. 

Saint Dominic School will be closed on Monday, October 9, 2023!

Throughout the year, Saint Dominic School uses Star 360 Assessments to help teachers understand what students know and what they are ready to learn next. The first window of Renaissance Star 360 testing is scheduled to begin October 10, 2023. Students in grades 2-8 will each complete a 20 minute online assessment in Reading and Math. Results will be sent home when all testing has been completed. 

Each assessment (reading and mathematics) is completed within one class period. Please send your child to school each day well rested.

Membership in the National Junior Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a junior high school student.

Our chapter of NJHS works hard to bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers, and the community. We strive to give practical meaning to the Society’s standards of scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship.

These four ideals have been considered as the basis for selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Junior Honor Society strives to recognize the total student - one who excels in all of these areas.

The induction ceremony for the Saint Dominic School National Junior Honor Society will be held on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, in Saint Dominic's Church and will begin at 6:00 P.M. 

A mandatory meeting for all parents of seventh-grade students will be held on

Thursday, October 19, 2023.

The meeting will begin at 7:00 PM in Saint Dominic Church. This is an opportunity for parents and teachers to partner together in order to prepare the students to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The October edition of Partners in Faith is here!

Being part of the Communion of Saints means we can look to the saints to help us by their prayers on our journey to heaven. We can also follow their examples and imitate their virtues. The main article on page one introduces saintly examples for children to connect to and imitate for the new school year and beyond.

The Rosary has been recommended by hundreds of saints as a “powerhouse” of prayer. Read about the history, attraction, and powerful effects of this beloved Catholic devotion in the Why Do Catholics Do That? feature.

Family prayer is source of spiritual strength but can also be a source of struggle. The main feature on page two provides suggestions for helping children form a prayer habit, to fuel a warm, personal, prayerful relationship with God later on.

Welcome to the Blue Jay Café!
