Letter from the Administration

Dear St. Theresa School Parents & Friends,

Last week we had a truly wonderful start to the 2016-2017 school year. I wish especially to welcome all new students and families to the St. Theresa Community. It is a pleasure to have you join us.

Despite a few changes in personnel, everything is in place for students to have a very productive and successful school year. On Monday, September 19th we will hold our Back to School Night at 6:30 pm in the gym. I have some important information to share with you which will be followed by visits to your child's classroom to meet with their teachers.

The H.S.A. is busy planning many exciting activities such as the Ice Cream Social, the Walkathon, International Night and many more. Their first project is the Ambassador's program to support our new families. Please see below for more information. Please consider joining the H.S.A. in a more intimate setting for the monthly general assembly meetings in the art room from 7:15-8:00 pm.

The 2016-2017 Parent/Student Handbook will be coming home shortly. All parents and students need to read the handbook and sign the signature page. Updates from last year are noted in italics. This signature page is required. Please return it to the office by September 15, 2016.

I am happy to announce that Mrs. Angela Guimont has been offered the position of the new fifth grade teacher at Saint Theresa School. Mrs. Guimont is a certified teacher with many years of teaching experience. I know that she will serve our students and our school very well. Please find attached a short biography. We are awaiting the Superintendent's approval for her to officially start.

We look forward to a wonderful and successful school year.

Sincerely,

Salvatore Vittoria, Principal

Dear Families and Friends,

This is a first call of interest in our Ambassador Program.

Please respond to the HSA email if you are interested in becoming an ambassador to assist new or existing families through the beginning of the school year. If you speak a second language, have community ties and knowledge or are just interested in making new friends, please consider helping out.

We will be announcing ambassadors at our Welcome night Sept. 19th and you will all have the opportunity to meet at our Ice Cream Social on Friday Sept. 30th.

We look forward to meeting you all and having a great year here at St. Theresa School.

Meet the Faculty

Hello, my name is Angela Guimont and I am so happy to join the St. Theresa School family as the new 5th grade teacher. I graduated from The University of Massachusetts with a degree in Elementary Education and Language Development. I have over 10 years of teaching experience and have taught in Norwalk, CT and Nashua, NH and here in Trumbull. I've been a 4th, 5th and 6th grade classroom teacher and have been teaching homebound K-12 students for the past 5 years. My twin daughters are in 7th grade at St. Theresa School, and my husband and I are very involved in the school community and our parish. In my spare time I enjoy reading, sewing and attending basketball games. Thank you for welcoming me to St. Theresa School.

Mark your Calendar!

Back to School Night is Monday, September 19 at 6:30 pm in the school gym. We look forward to sharing our vision for the school year. Parents will also meet in the classroom with teachers to hear the overview of the class and additional information.
