Letter from the Administration
Dear St. Theresa School Parents & Friends,

I look forward to seeing all of our parents this Monday evening for Back to School Night.    We will gather in the gym at 6:30 pm, then move to the classrooms.

The Walk-A-Thon is all set for Sunday, October 16th at 1:00 pm on the back field. Please encourage your child to secure pledges to help make this important fundraiser a huge success.

The Ambassador's program is open to families who would like to help welcome and support our new families. Please see below for more information.  This program will be discussed on Monday evening.

The 2016-2017 Parent/Student Handbook went home on Monday. All parents and students are required 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.

It is truly a pleasure to be here at St. Theresa School with faculty, parents, and students who all work so hard to make our community extraordinary.

Sincerely,
Salvatore Vittoria, Principal

First Call for St. Theresa School Ambassador Program
Mission: To welcome and assist new friends and families during their transition to the St. Theresa School Community.

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.

Thank You,
The St. Theresa School Ambassador Committe e

WALK-A-THON 2016 -  Are you ready???
St. Theresa School 2016 Walk-A-Thon is coming your way!!!

Dear Families and Friends,  
Keep your eyes and ears open!!  If you are new to St. Theresa School and as a reminder to our friends and families, It's time to start collecting pledges for your family to participate in one of the best attended and fun filled days we offer.

This year the commemorative tee shirt will be a "booster" format through Custom Ink!  Link and info to follow, and we will be available mornings in the lobby to help place your orders.
Remember, tuition alone does not cover all of our expenses.  When Grandparents and family ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?" Say "YES, Please consider donating to St. Theresa School Walk-A-Thon!"

Save The Date, SUNDAY OCT. 16th at 1:00 pm!

Tech Talk: How to support your Student on Google Classroom
Currently students in grades 5-8 utilize Google Classroom for their cloud classroom and assignments. 

You can support your student by checking online under Classroom or by downloading the classroom app. The login credentials were listed on the AUP sheet that was sent home. GC has a calendar feature to help the student see the due dates for assignments and projects. The student can also reach out for help through the Google Classroom. Please remember that while parents are invited to view GC, only students may post work or add to class discussions.

If you have questions or need support, feel free to email Mrs. Tamarkin at info@stesonline.org.
Stop & Shop Program

Stop & Shop cards will be sold at school. You may purchase them in person or send your child in with the payment.  Envelopes should be clearly marked with the child's name and grade for the cards to be sent home. Cards are available in denominations of $50 and $100. We can add $25 cards if there is interest.

If you have any questions please contact the office. Thank you!
