Dear Parents,

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and all other wonderful maternal figures. Whatever creative way you celebrate, make sure to reach out to those loved ones.

It was a delightful week of students and parents sharing their appreciation for our wonderful team. We know this is an extraordinary time and are so grateful for our excellent team of teaching professionals. We are also so glad for our strong partnership with our co-teachers-parents. We know we will become stronger and better after this temporary closure. WE WILL be all together again very soon!

If your family is in need of any financial assistance, please email me to share any special considerations or circumstances. I encourage families to review the resources being offered by Food Service Professionals and the Illinois Department of Human Services . 

Please register your student for next year. Your student(s) helps us better estimate student enrollment, which is important in our planning and ordering materials for next school year. Registration procedures are described in previous emails. Please contact support@sttheresechicago.org to have the registration instructions sent to you again or to ask any questions you might have about registration. Your cooperation is most appreciated.

We have received clearance from the Archdiocese to have our report card pickup, return textbooks and Chromebooks, and pick up personal items. We will have it on Wednesday, June 3, Thursday, June 4, and Friday, June 5. These three days will be the only days families will be allowed in the building to pick up report cards, return textbooks and Chromebooks, and pick up personal items.

Families will sign up for a specific time slot via Sign Up Genius between the hours of 1:00 pm -7:00 pm on June 3-5, 2020.  We will have more details in next week’s update.
