We understand that parents are the first and most important teachers in a child\u2019s life. Family involvement is the key to success for your child at St. Mark\u2019s Episcopal Day School and helps further our strong spirit of community and the connection between home and school.<\/span><\/p>\n Communication is key in that partnership between home and school. St. Mark\u2019s uses the Procare App for the families and staff, allowing us to be in constant communication with the entire parent body. The teachers use the app for their individual classes which allows them to message everyone or individual parents as needed.\u00a0 On a weekly basis, teachers send class updates via Procare. The school sends a bi-monthly school newsletter for up to date school news and dates. Additionally, the Director is always available to meet with parents.<\/span><\/p>\n Family members are also invited and encouraged to share traditions, skills, cultures and talents in the classroom environment.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ background_color_gradient_stops_1=”#2b87da 0%|#c7cbd4 100%” background_color_gradient_end_1=”#c7cbd4″ admin_label=”Principle Quote” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0|0px|0|0px|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”true” admin_label=”Two CTA Row” module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”100%” max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_phone=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” hover_enabled=”0″ make_fullwidth=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(58,80,99,0.85) 0%|#3a5063 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(58,80,99,0.85)” background_color_gradient_end=”#3a5063″ background_image=”https:\/\/stmarksvenice.org\/dayschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/jess-watters-483666-unsplash.jpg” custom_padding=”60px|80px|60px|10%|true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|10%||10%||true” custom_padding_phone=”|10%||10%||true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}” padding_tablet=”|10%||10%||true” padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding__hover=”|||” padding_phone=”|10%||10%||true”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ text_font=”Rubik|500|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” quote_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Rubik|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Rubik|700||on|||||” header_5_letter_spacing=”5px” header_5_line_height=”1.2em” background_layout=”dark” max_width=”600px” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”|||” custom_margin_tablet=”|70px||70px” custom_margin_phone=”|50px||50px” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”|||40px” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all=”#ff9c02″ border_width_left=”8px” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Sacramento” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Throughout the year, the Day School hosts several fun events to bring parents, children, teachers, and staff together:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” background_color_gradient_start=”#ff7355″ background_color_gradient_end=”rgba(255,115,85,0.6)” background_image=”https:\/\/stmarksvenice.org\/dayschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/C5FF459F-6B34-46A5-9329-B0943D747BF4_4_5005_c.jpeg” background_size=”custom” background_image_width=”100%” custom_padding=”60px|10%|60px|80px|true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|10%||10%||true” custom_padding_phone=”|10%||10%||true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” padding_tablet=”|10%||10%||true” padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding__hover=”|||” padding_phone=”|10%||10%||true” title_text=”C5FF459F-6B34-46A5-9329-B0943D747BF4_4_5005_c” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” _builder_version=”4.16″ height=”340px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”News” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#e9eff3″ custom_padding=”54px|0px|22px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Title Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ text_font=”Rubik|500|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Rubik|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_5_font=”Rubik|700||on|||||” header_5_text_color=”#2b76df” header_5_letter_spacing=”5px” header_5_line_height=”1.5em” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”900px” module_alignment=”center” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our Day School maintains its commitment to be as affordable and accessible to all who wish to enroll.
