Student BYOD Chromebook Policy
|
Students may use a tablet, netbook, or Chromebook at the discretion of the teacher. The school is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to these devices.
Students are responsible for the care and proper use of these items. Any device used at school is subject to the school's Acceptable Use Policy.
In addition to the AUP the middle school teachers have discussed with the students immediate consequences for minor infractions. Any student using his or her device inappropriately in any way such as: on other sites than the teacher has allowed, engaging in chats or emailing, or any other behavior that distracts from their learning, will receive an after school detention and will not be allowed to bring their device to school for one week. Repeated infractions may result in loss of ability to use technology at the school and greater disciplinary actions.
Students must have a protective case for transporting BYOD devices quickly and safely. Students are responsible to charge their devices at home. Permission will not be granted to retrieve cords for charging during class time. A wireless mouse is recommended.
If you are looking to invest in a Chromebook for your student, it should have a minimum 4GB RAM, 16GB SSD, and a battery life longer than 7 hours.
If you have questions on the BYOD policy, or need support, please reference the handbook or email Mrs. Tamarkin at
info@stesonline.org.

Step-Up Preview Program Tomorrow
|
At St. Theresa School each grade has its own special traditions, events, new responsibilities and privileges.
On February 23rd each class from Pre-K 4 through 8th grade will have a Step-Up period. They will get to go into the next level and learn from the teacher about all that awaits them next year. This program is wonderful for transition and for helping students to look ahead to the future of their career.
So when your student comes home on the 23rd, you can ask him or her, "How was Step-Up Day?" You may be pleasantly surprised at what you hear.

No One Eats Alone - Student Awareness Project
|
St. Theresa Middle School students embraced the No One Eats Alone program last Thursday. This program focuses on opening communication lines to avoid any student feeling social isolation. This was our first year participating in this important awareness program. The eighth graders acted as Ambassadors under Mrs. Ronnow's guidance. Several stations created to get students interacting and talking to each other. These included foosball tables set up on the stage, Where the Wind Blows (a twist to musical chairs), tables of Jenga, the Socialization Station on the beanbag chairs, where students took turns sharing ideas, and the Creative Partnering Drawing Creatures table.
Mr. Vittoria even extended the program time as no one wanted it to end. Based on student feedback, everyone had a good time. Eighth grader, Christopher Isaac said, "It was helpful since it connected us to others we don't really talk to." The only criticism was it was not long enough! My thanks to all the eighth graders and all the students for their active participation.

Our thanks to Mrs. Ronnow for bringing this great progrm to St. Theresa's!

Saving Lives with Alumna Help - Seventh Grade Learns CPR
|
The 7th grade class was fortunate enough to have Mrs. Kathy Brooks visit our Science class to begin teaching us about CPR. Mrs. Brooks has been a regular visitor in assisting Mrs. Ronnow during the Circulation unit for the 7th grade classes. She brings her charming, witty, informative personality and all the students come away having learned in a very "hands on" fun way. The students learned how to listen for their blood pressure as well as practice compressions on Mrs. Brooks' "assistants." We thank Mrs. Brooks for her time, effort and entertaining, yet educational presentations.
