Student Services MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORTS (MTSS)

Saint Patrick High School aims to focus on the WHOLE STUDENT. MTSS is a framework many schools use to provide targeted support to students with additional learning needs. The goal of MTSS is to intervene early so that students can catch up with their peers and ultimately succeed.

Our student services program is designed to help our students grow academically, personally, spiritually and emotionally.

WHAT IS “EVERY SHAMROCK SUCCEEDS” (ESS) AT SAINT PATRICK? ESS provides a means for educators and parents to collaborate and problem-solve individual students’ needs.

It consists of a team of individuals who meet to discuss students’ needs, review assessment results, and develop plans to assist students in improving academically, emotionally, or behaviorally. Students’ needs may include needs related to reading, written language, mathematics, or other subject areas. Some students’ needs are related to their emotional well-being or behavior. The overall goal of ESS is to support students in need by intervening early, communicating often, and collaborating as a team to ensure your son’s success.

Faith. Tradition. Brotherhood.

MEET PATRICK Saint Patrick High School is fortunate enough to have our own dedicated Therapy Dog, Patrick who visits a minimum of one day per week. Studies have proven that students bond readily with therapy dogs, feeling more connected and confident, which helps reduce anxiety and negative behavior in adolescents. Interaction with therapy dogs has also been found to cause a social catalyst effect, and this further helps improve the stimulation of social behavior. The relationship between a therapy dog and students helps develop trust in teenagers, and is more likely to help our students develop a broader capacity for empathy.

FAITH

Lasallian Education centers on Catholic values and personal relationships, emphasizing academic excellence, faith formation, inclusion, respect for the individual, service and social justice. A Lasallian Education strives to enrich each student’s cultural, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development. At Saint Patrick High School, we follow the morals of St. John Baptist De La Salle and learn to touch the hearts of others and care for the least, the last, and the lost.

Campus Ministry is the faith outreach of our school. Getting involved allows the student to deepen his faith, affords him opportunities to serve the larger community, and deepen his belief in God, the Church, and society.

The Campus Ministry Staff, in association with teachers and other staff members, works hard to accompany our students on their spiritual journey. School liturgies, class prayers, Reconciliation Services, and retreats are some examples of the ways we have to constantly remind ourselves that we are always in the holy presence of God. They are also a means to touch our students’ hungry hearts as they continue to grow in wisdom, age, and grace before God and humankind.

Number of annual service hours performed by Shamrock students

10,020

FAITH IN ACTION Many Saint Patrick students choose to serve our communities in a number of ways whether it be through the Lasallian Youth group or local service organizations, etc. Students are required to log 10 hours of service in the first semester and another 10 in the second semester.

Faith. Tradition. Brotherhood.

GET INVOLVED IN THE LITURGY Saint Patrick High School celebrates weekly Mass on Wednesday mornings at 8am in our School Chapel, as well as monthly Mass at St. Ferdinand Catholic Church (Freshmen Family, All Saints Day, Thanksgiving, Catholic Schools Week, Ash Wednesday, Founder’s Day, Junior Ring and Graduation.) Shamrocks are invited to participate as Cantors, Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES The young men of Saint Patrick High School pride themselves on service to our community and participate in regular service projects for various partners including Feed My Starving Children, Alvernia Food Pantry, Louie G. Food Pantry, Special Olympics, Mission of Our Lady of the Angels, The Night Ministry, Chicago First Responders. Students are required to participate in one meaningful service experience each semester. These opportunities are led by upperclassmen in the school, and provide the student an opportunity to go beyond his comfort zone in order to serve the marginalized in society.

RETREAT OPPORTUNITIES Saint Patrick students have many opportunities for spiritual growth. One such way is through the Retreat Program. Freshmen and Sophomores participate in a one-day, in-house retreat, facilitated by a retreat director, teachers, and peers. Juniors embark on a 2-day retreat overnight at LaSalle Manor in Plano, IL and seniors have the option to attend (and/or lead) a Kairos Retreat which is a four-day, three-night intensive experience where students take a look at themselves, their relationship to their neighbors, a look at God, and their response to God, especially through the person of Jesus Christ.

“All seniors look not at St. Patrick as just a building, but rather as something real, alive, and warm. St. Patrick means more to us because we have seen the ‘new’ built out of the ‘old’. So we leave, and others arrive to take our place. So we fade away and others come into view. But always we shall call ourselves ‘Men from Saint Patrick.”
