Dear New Families of St. Theresa School,
I hope this letter finds you well and filled with excitement for the journey ahead! As the Director of Admissions, it has been my absolute pleasure getting to know your family throughout the admission process. From our initial conversations to your visit to our campus, it's been a joy working with you.
Now, as we transition from the admission office to the school, I want to extend a warm welcome on behalf of the entire St. Theresa community. We are thrilled to have you and your child join us for the 2024-25 academic year, and we're committed to ensuring a smooth transition as you become part of our vibrant community.
You can access our STS digital backpack via our website so you will always have all the best resources at your fingertips. Please note that some items may change, as we are still updating to reflect the 2024-25 school year. Should you have any questions regarding your Blackbaud Tuition Account, please contact our Operations Administrator, Mrs. Joanie Schwarzbeck x203.
