Military Family Resources

Immaculate Conception School Family Resources

Immaculate Conception School is proud to be a military-friendly community that supports the students and families who serve our nation. We are committed to meeting the needs of our military-connected families by providing a welcoming environment, consistent communication, and resources that help students adjust to the transitions that often come with military life. Our faculty and staff understand the unique challenges that military children may face and work closely with families to ensure students feel supported, rooted in our Catholic identity, and set up for success both academically and in their future endeavors.

• Focus Groups for Military-Connected Students (Faithful Friends and Faith Rangers)
• Veterans Day School-Wide Assembly
