Letter from the Administration

Dear St.Theresa School
families,
Here are a few important reminders:
- All tuition agreements are due with a $175.00 enrollment fee by March 15, 2016. Pre-K parents, please note that contracts received after March 15th are no longer eligible for the tuition bonus. If you are referring a new family to our school, please be sure to ask them to write your name on their application form in order for you to receive the $250.00 referral bonus.
- Parents are asked to conduct all school business in the main office. Please refrain from walking the hallways or going to the classrooms. I would ask that you allow teachers to concentrate on the students during drop off and dismissal. Feel free to make an appointment if you need to conference with any teacher.
- For your convenience, we will soon put out a list of all end of year activities, including graduation dates. We are also starting to work on the 2016-17 school calendar. I will send you a first draft as soon as it becomes available.
- Tickets for the 60th anniversary dinner on April 30th are available on line or in the main office. Please consider inviting friends and to reserve a table for this exciting event.
- All returning students must be enrolled with FACTS Tuition Management. Please go online to register and to choose a payment plan for the 2016-17 school year. You can also fill out the online financial aid application in order to be eligible for the Bishop's Scholarship Fund. The deadline is March 15th. The application for C.E.O. Scholarship should become available by early April. Bridgeport families should contact the C.E.O. office directly at (203) 683-6092.
- Anyone who needs assistance in registering with FACTS or completing the online financial aid application should contact Mrs. Tamarkin.
- Please note on early dismissal days, the buses run late. They may not arrive at the school until 1 pm.

Music, Scholars and Teachers,
It is with great excitement that we announce that three St. Theresa Band students will be attending the 2016 Connecticut Future Musicians All-State Music Festival starting on March 4th in Manchester, CT. These three students earned their eligibility through nomination for the Region Festival in October, and through successful audition in January for participation in the Symphonic or Concert Bands.
Luka Silva and Jack Donofrio will participate in the Concert Band which is conducted in part by St. Theresa's own Mr. Daniel Brownell. Luka Silva was a new-comer to the Region/All-State Band scene this year, and after an impressive debut with the Region Band, scored the top Alto Saxophone chair in Concert Band. Jack Donofrio, in his second year participating in Region/All-State, dramatically improved from last year and sits in the top echelon of the Concert Band clarinet section.
The third participant is Jillian Nunez, now in her fourth year of All-State. She has participated in the Concert and Symphonic Bands, and after scoring in the middle tiers of the Symphonic Band last year, she scored the highest percussion score in throughout the entire Connecticut Future Musicians program and will sit as the principal chair in Symphonic Band. Congratulations to these students! After a performance on March 19th at Central Connecticut State University, they will perform again on May 23rd at Lincoln Center in New York City and then again on May 27th at the Old State House in Hartford.
In addition to our music scholars, a number of Advanced Band students have served as teaching assistants this year. This includes sitting in and helping with Cadet and/or Intermediate lessons, and sitting in on Intermediate Band rehearsals back in the fall before they were promoted to the Advanced Band. In the spring they continue to assist the younger students when their academic schedules allow, including running sectionals in Advanced Band and assisting on lessons. These students have been afforded the opportunity to conduct the Advanced Band on one of our concerts as the opportunities are available. These students are: Jillian Nunez, Jack Donofrio, Lucas Gelmetti, Jim McMahon, Ryan Cannone, Samantha Guimont, and Deaglan Prendergast. Congratulations on your leadership and drive to serve.

Second Grade Visits the Discovery Museum
|
The second graders loved the planetarium. They viewed the Little Star that Could, where they learned about stars and the planets. They also attended a workshop on the phases of the moon. They proudly brought home their Moon Scopes that they created to observe the phases of the moon. Thank you to all of the parents who took the time to chaperone this science adventure!

Sixth Graders spend time with the Saints
|
The 6th grade Religion students just finished learning about Saints and the impact they have on our faith. Each student chose a different Saint to research in-depth, and spent the past two and a half weeks writing a MLA formatted report on that particular Saint. They were able to learn about many different saints, including St. John the Baptist, St. Sebastian, St. Vincent De Paul, and many others! All of the students are proud of their research project and proud to share their learning with their peers.

Keeping the Support Connection Strong
|
Parents, did you know if your student is in grades 5-8 you can download the classroom app to your phone? This app allows you to see your student's assignments and monitor your student's activity in Google Classroom.
Keep our team strong by keeping engaged with your student's digital learning environment.
