Letter from the Principal
Dear Saint Theresa School families and friends,
 
Please note that TODAY, March 1st, is the deadline to return the 2017-18 tuition agreements along with the correct enrollment fee. After today, we cannot guarantee space or enrollment for next school year. A special reminder to our Pre-K 4 & 5 parents that in order to receive the kindergarten loyalty bonus, contracts must be turned in today.
 
The application for both the Bishop's Scholarship and the CEO Scholarship are available in the office. If you are applying, please do so by the specified deadlines. Remember that in order to receive any kind of financial assistance for the 2017-2018 school year, parents MUST complete the online FACTS Grant and Aid Application.
 
St. Theresa School is hosting a benefit concert to raise money to replace the old curtains on the stage. This concert will be held on Monday, April 22nd at 7:00 pm. Tickets are available now in the main office.
 
We are very excited to hold our first annual 5K race, the St. Theresa School Tiger Tail 5K, on Saturday, May 6th. We are asking for each family to sign up a minimum of two runners or walkers for a total of $50.00. The success of this event is critical in helping us stabilize tuition rates, while meeting the growing financial obligations.  A heartfelt thanks to all the parents who attended the first planning meeting this past Monday. Please see Mrs. Turotsy or myself if you can assist with this important event.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance with the enrollment or financial aid application process.

Computer Lab Monitors Available for Purchase
Looking to make multi-tasking on your computer easier? The desk top CPUs from the Computer Lab (2007) have gone to a better place, but the monitors are great for extending your screen and being able to work on two windows at the same time.  

The connection is an AVG port.  If you are interesting in purchasing one of the 17 monitors, please see Mrs. Tamarkin.  The cost is $20 each.  

The funds raised will be used to purchase 2 new Chromebooks. And if there is a hero or two out there who wants to help sponsor new Chromebooks for the Computer Lab, we would love to meet with you! Also, please see Mrs. Tamarkin. :)
Yearbook Available for Pre-Order. 
Personalization Help Session 
Join us Wednesday, March 8th!
