st-clare-school-admissionsOur school’s mission states: St. Clare School is a Catholic, parish-school community rooted in Gospel values and dedicated to the spiritual and educational development of the whole child.

It is with this hopeful, positive, and values-based approach, coupled with our academically-strong curriculum, that we have successfully nurtured and educated children every day for over 100 years, helping them to attain their true potential and become lifelong learners.

We invite all families who want to learn about what makes St. Clare such a special place to come visit us during our annual Open House in January, call our school at 503-244-7600 to learn more and/or visit our Request for Information page and the school office will contact you.

Our Kindergarten Information Night for parents is on Thursday, November 14 from 6:30-8:00 pm. The event will be geared toward first time kindergarten parents looking to learn about St. Clare School and community, but all are welcome to attend. If you have a child starting kindergarten in the next few years and are researching elementary school options, this is a wonderful event to attend! The Kindergarten Information Night will include a brief presentation and a panel featuring Chris Harris (Principal), Krystal Huynh (Kindergarten Teacher), and a few current parents.  Prospective parents will have the opportunity to ask panelists questions and get a feel for the many academic, social, and spiritual opportunities we have available for our students. After the presentation, parents will be able to tour the building. Kindergarten Info Night RSVP form
