Dear Parents and Friends:

Welcome!  Thank you for your interest in St. Madeleine Sophie School.  We are a Catholic
school accommodating grades Kindergarten through Grade 5 serving over two hundred
students. We also have a full time Daycare as well as a Pre-Kindergarten program.  Our
students and their families come to us from fourteen different school districts throughout
the Guilderland region, and in nearly all cases, these districts provide bus transportation for
our children.  Our school is located in a quiet suburban setting.

It is our mission to provide excellence within a Christian atmosphere and to prepare its
students to take their places as responsible members of Church and society. This mission
includes teaching the message of Jesus, while building a service based community. We
provide students with a safe, caring environment while offering excellent academic
programs within the framework of Catholic Christian values.  This is achieved by working
closely with our students and their parents as we nurture the spiritual, intellectual, social,
