M i s s i o n St a t e m e n t

Notre Dame Preparatory is a Diocesan Catholic High School dedicated to the promotion of academic excellence and the pursuit of holiness through the shared values of Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility, out of love for Jesus Christ.

V i s i o n St a t e m e n t

To provide the highest quality Catholic high school educational experience, offering student-centered learning opportunities which develop the whole person: mind, body and soul.

MIND We are a leader in Catholic education through innovation and visionary focus and constant examination of best practices. We instill a strong spiritual foundation among our students in order to discern vocation using the God-given talents through a rigorous, multifaceted program of study. We promote high academic standards to form future problem solvers engaged in critical and creative thinking, who are able to collaborate and utilize diverse means of education and evaluate the moral implications of their decisions. BODY We uphold the virtues of fortitude, selflessness, sacrifice, self-mastery, integrity, strength, tenacity, humility, charity, courage and loyalty through peer support, accountability and love. We provide an environment allowing students to feel safe, loved and validated in their physical and social-emotional development knowing they are supported across the community. We develop the whole person by creating a culture of active participation through a variety of co-curricular and athletic activities that enhance creativity, leadership, passion, teamwork, and physical health. SOUL We partner with families to educate students in the Catholic faith, so they know their identity in Christ and their unique call to holiness. We foster an environment where students can encounter Christ through the Sacraments of the Church, prayer, retreats, and opportunities for lifelong servant leadership. We encourage and invite students to become transformational Christian leaders who support faith, patriotism, and moral values so that they may choose what is good, true, and beautiful with ease and clarity. NDP graduates should leave our school having learned, embraced and embodied our Integral Student Outcomes (ISOs).

At NDP, we believe “All Are Made in the Image of Christ,” so we show... Reverence by “Seeking Holiness” Pray and Worship God | Serve Others | Live as a Disciple Respect by “Loving our Neighbors” Honor our Human Dignity | Seek the Truth | Assume the Best Responsibility by “Always Doing the Right Thing” Take Ownership | Pursue Excellence | Fulfill God’s Will

Letter from the Principal Dear NDP Parents and Students,

Welcome to Notre Dame Preparatory High School and the 2021-2022 school year! Each year we produce SAINTS 101 as your “NDP bible” to help you find the information you need in one easy resource. I hope you find this booklet useful. Speaking of HOPE, that is our theme for this year. After overcoming the challenges of the past two years, we have many reasons to hope and know that we can prevail no matter what, through our trust in the Lord and His love for us. HOPE isn’t just a fanciful wish. It is a call to action: Honor God Offer our best to Him and others Bring about Peace Enrich the lives of those around us and our school In the pages of this booklet, you will find academic information, our dress code, communications tools, who to contact if you need help and much more. At the back of this book, there are important calendar events. Be sure to mark your calendars so that you don’t miss anything. Please note that from time to time we must change a date, so it is good practice to visit our school calendar regularly for the most up-to-date information. The calendar page on our website requires a passkey. Please call the front desk at 480-634-8200 to obtain that code. When we make changes or have news to share, we use many methods to inform our community including emails, newsletters, text messages, our website and social media. Please be sure to read our communications so that you stay informed. In addition to SAINTS 101, our school website is another valuable resource. Some pages are geared for prospective families, while many were designed with you in mind! Most of the information current NDP families need is located under Quicklinks and MyNDP. Thank you for entrusting your student with us. We look forward to an exciting year of HOPE! Blessings!

NEED TO KNOW This section will serve as a quick reference for important policies. Please note, additional information can be found in our student/parent handbook at ndpsaints.org/handbook. Be sure to explore myNDP and Quicklinks on our website for easy access and answers to our most frequently asked questions.

CONTACT INFORMATION Notre Dame Preparatory uses family contact information on file. Please ensure that all information is updated at the beginning of each school year by visiting ndpsaints.powerschool.com/public. All families must confirm personal information for each of their students by August 2, 2021. If information needs to be updated during the school year, please contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@ndpsaints.org.

PARENTAL SUPPORT The Diocesan Code of Discipline directs that “Parents or legal guardians are expected to support teachers and administrators and to recognize that disciplinary action entails the exercise of judgment, often under pressing circumstances.” (Diocesan Handbook 3-1.4.17 C.4). Serious consideration is given to every disciplinary action taken. While recognizing parents as the primary educators of their children, Notre Dame Preparatory needs, expects and requires honest and consistent cooperation to implement the spirit as well as the letter of the Student/Parent Handbook’s guidelines and rules. If, in the opinion of the principal, either a student’s or a parent’s/guardian’s actions, attitudes, or behavior are found in conflict with the school’s mission, policies or any specific directive of the administration or if parents/guardians or students fail to cooperate and comply with Notre Dame Prep’s disciplinary policy or practice, the student may be barred from continued enrollment at Notre Dame Preparatory.

ATTENDANCE

The state of Arizona requires by law [ARS 15-803(B)] that all students attend school 90% of the school year. Students who miss 10% or more of classes may jeopardize earning credit in each class in which they have excessive absences. At 6 absences per semester (10%), the student will be required to earn a 75% or higher on the final exam to receive credit for the course. At 7 absences per semester, the student will not receive credit for the course. Students may be asked to withdraw from Notre Dame Prep. 2. If your child will be absent, contact the Attendance Desk by filling out the attendance form at ndpsaints.org/quicklinks/attendance. 3. A student is considered tardy when they enter the classroom after the bell rings at the start of class. At 6 tardies per semester, the student will be required to earn a 75% or higher on the final exam to receive credit for the course. At 7 tardies per semester, the student will not receive credit for the course. Students may be asked to withdraw from Notre Dame Prep. 4. Please familiarize yourself with the entire attendance policy and make note of the procedures in the following areas: A parent or legal guardian must fill out the online attendance form prior to the student’s arrival for students arriving late ndpsaints.org/quicklinks/attendance. For students leaving school early, a parent or legal guardian must fill out the online attendance form. ndpsaints.org/quicklinks/attendance. Students may NOT leave school with anyone other than their parents without written permission from the student’s parent or legal guardian. 5. Liturgies are an important component at Notre Dame Preparatory and a requirement for all students.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT The Advanced Placement (AP) program was created by College Board to give high school students the chance to tackle college-level work. Students taking AP classes are required to take the College Board’s AP test in May with the goal of earning college credit and placement. AP courses are offered in social studies, world languages, science, math and English. Students interested in Advanced Placement (AP) courses must meet the prerequisites of each course.

BELL SCHEDULES NDP’s daily schedule is a block schedule. Studies show that a block schedule allows for in-depth instruction, application, feedback and reflection, thus maximizing student learning success. The Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday schedule incorporates four block-period classes, daily House time, break and lunch periods. The Wednesday schedule is unique. Students attend all eight classes for shorter time periods and are dismissed from school at 2:00 p.m. to allow for teacher professional development. We will have special bell schedules for all-school Mass days and pep rally days (see below). Occasionally during the school year, we will have four-day weeks where we have either Monday or Friday off due to a holiday. On weeks such as these, we will have a special schedule with only block schedule days. For example: Monday, Sept. 6 - Labor Day (No School) Tuesday, Sept. 7 - Block Schedule (Periods 1-4) Wednesday, Sept. 8 - Block Schedule (Periods 5-8) Thursday, Septs. 9 - Block Schedule (Periods 1-4) Friday, Sept. 10 - Block Schedule (Periods 5-8) If the holiday falls on Friday, the schedule will look like this: Monday - Block Schedule (Periods 1-4) Tuesday- Block Schedule (Periods 5-8) Wednesday - Block Schedule (Periods 1-4) Thursday - Block Schedule (Periods 5-8) Friday - No School We will communicate via the newsletter, website calendar and text messages when special schedules are coming up.

A message from the Chaplain My Friends in Christ, HOPE. What a fitting theme for 2021-22, as it bridges the difficult circumstances we faced in the previous year, yet looks forward to the great hope and opportunities that have arisen for this upcoming year. The virtue of Hope cannot arise from a mere human being. It is a transcendental property that goes beyond a human being. Hope can only come and stem from the one who is Hope – God Himself. Hope is grounded in the certainty of faith realized. A Christian without hope is a lousy witness to Jesus Christ who conquered death, rose, and is still with us through the Holy Spirit, Sacraments, the Church and the community of believers. This year we want to continue forming our community by reminding ourselves of all the good that is around us. Hope is the gift that allows us to enjoy the goods of life without depending on them, and endure the challenges in this life without being consumed by them. Sometimes our tendency is to focus so much on the bad things, that we begin to lose sight of all that is good, all that are gifts from God in our lives. So as we move forward in hope; honoring God, offering our best, working for peace and enriching the lives of others through service, we can bring about good and be the change the world so desperately needs. Read our faith formation page to learn more about how we bring hope to our students so that they may extend that goodness to others. Blessings to you all,

Fr. Kurt Perera Notre Dame Preparatory Chaplain

FAITH FORMATION This year we plan to develop and form our “spiritual lenses” to see opportunities for God’s grace and seeds of hope in our loving God through: 1. Kairos retreats 2. Service trips to Aravaipa Farms, Washington DC, Rocky Point, Mexico and Puerto Rico 3. Outdoor all-school Masses throughout the year, as well as weekly class masses in our new Performing Arts Center 4. Two all-school Reconciliation services done through the theology classes 5. Two service retreats on-campus 6. Plunges (days of service) for our incoming freshman class and current sophomore class 7. On-campus weekly lunchtime bible studies 8. Sword of St. Joseph Club for the formation of virtue and fraternity in young men 9. Dads’ Club Hike and Mass open to all NDP dads with their families 10. First Friday Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament 11. Weekly praying of the rosary in the chapel by NDP parents 12. Virtual Formation through social media posts, blogs and podcasts 13. All School House Retreat 14. Monthly spiritual formation on various topics through the House System 15. Mothers’ Guild Senior Moms retreat It is our hope that these opportunities may widen our eyes to see God’s hope springing up around us and the ways that He remains ever-present with us. We begin and end everything at NDP with prayer and call upon the protection and intercession of our Patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

PRAYER REQUESTS & MASS INTENTIONS If you have any special intentions or prayer requests, we are here for you! Your prayer request is a sacred trust and kept confidential. To request prayer or Mass intention, visit ndpsaints.org/faith.

CULTURE

We desire that our students lead lives that reflect the example of Jesus Christ; accepting, loving and inclusive.

THE HOUSE SYSTEM

In this technological world teens are more isolated than ever before. To remedy this, our student body is grouped into 10 Houses. These Houses build community, mentorship, discipleship and opportunities for growth and leadership. Guided by Caitlin Melnychenko and Mark Granger, Co-Directors of the House System, students develop leadership skills and become the best versions of themselves while living authentic lives that are true to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The purpose of the House System is to ensure every student and adult on our campus has a community who cares and holds them accountable to be who God created them to be. The goal is to find and foster the brilliance in each student and to give each soul on campus a place where they are embraced by their fellow House members while building a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and a desire to live as a true disciple. At Notre Dame Prep, we seek to educate the whole student; mind, body and soul. The House System allows students to be recognized for more than GPA or athletic achievement. Within their House, students’ talents are explored and nurtured by a built-in support system. Each House consists of four smaller groups called Families. Our students will have a chance to check in with their Families for a few minutes each day for authentic interpersonal interaction and fellowship. The Houses compete for the coveted House Cup each year by earning House Points through academics, Christian service and school spirit, while showing Reverence, Respect and Responsibility toward each other.

From Medical Club and E-Sports to Saints For Life and Diversity Student Union; there is something for everyone! Students are encouraged to join a club early as a way to make friends who share their passions and interests. If a club of interest doesn’t exist, students are encouraged to create one with other like-minded individuals.

DOG POUND, CLUB AND HOUSE LEADERSHIP Club, Committee, Dog Pound and House leaders provide direction for our student activities. They plan activities, dances, spirit weeks, charity drives and keep our campus life fun and engaging all year long. All enthusiastic Saints are encouraged to apply for leadership roles.

ATHLETICS

The Notre Dame Preparatory athletic programs are part of the fabric of the NDP community with more than 80% of students participating in AIA or club sports. NDP competes locally, regionally and nationally in 27 interscholastic sports and activities. We are very proud of our athletic tradition and success, winning 54 state championships.

FUNDRAISING EVENTS The NDP Advancement Department traditionally supports six annual fundraising events. These events are well attended and provide an opportunity for friends, neighbors, business associates and relatives to get to know our NDP community.

The revenue generated from these events is a key factor in achieving our fundraising goals. Not only do the funds raised help bridge the gap between tuition fees and the actual cost to educate, but most recently, we were able to complete a number of campus beautification projects, improve campus safety and update our technology.

CULINARY FESTIVAL | NOVEMBER 6 Favorite restaurants from all over the Valley bring their culinary delights to this fabulous dining extravaganza under the stars on the NDP campus. This 21+ event is casual, and features adult beverages, a silent auction and much more! ndpsaints.org/culinaryfest.
