Dear Parents and Guardians,

I trust this letter finds you well. We appreciate your ongoing support in maintaining a positive and disciplined learning environment at St. Theresa Catholic School. Our commitment to providing a conducive atmosphere for education includes upholding specific standards, one of which is the adherence to our school uniform policy.

It has come to our attention that there have been instances of uniform violations among some students. We would like to take this opportunity to remind both parents and students of the importance of complying with our uniform policy, which is in place to promote a sense of unity, discipline, and pride in our school community.

As a reminder, here are a few areas that need to be addressed:

• Jewelry

• Hairstyles

• Skirt and Short Length

• Fingernail Polish/Makeup

• School Sweatshirts

We kindly request your assistance in reinforcing the significance of the school uniform with your child. Please take a moment to review the school's uniform policy. ( Uniform Policy- Updated )

A consistent and respectful approach to the uniform policy contributes to a positive learning environment and prepares students for the expectations they will encounter in various aspects of life.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. We look forward to your continued partnership in fostering a successful and disciplined educational experience for all our students.

Love and Light,

Sarah Fox & Tiffany Saunders

St. Thomas High School is pleased to announce details for its Spring Academic Skills Camp, Pathways to Independent Learning. In this course, students are given tools and strategies to take charge of the learning process. They will be able to take full responsibility for choosing effective approaches to long-term learning. Students need the skills and strategies of independent learning to excel in any learning environment or situation. Research has proven that facility and practice of executive functioning skills and critical thinking is a greater predictor of student success than IQ. Students who develop the skills of independent learning are better able to adapt and succeed when they encounter obstacles. Please click here to view course information and registration.

Registration for the Typhoon Texas Kids triathlon registration is open. We have created a St. Theresa team for everyone who would like to participate and 10% of the entry fee will be donated back to the school for every kid who joins. The race is super fun (and super safe...they swim in a lazy river and have plenty of volunteers on the course). The kids also get an entry to Typhoon Texas with their race fee that they can use that day or anytime over the summer.

There is a Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14 option. Most of the St. Theresa kids will race on Sunday.

Is your child interested in participating but never done a triathlon, no worries! We will plan to hold some clinics in February and March to teach the kids the basics. Please contact Christy Lan at bohannon5@hotmail.com with any questions.
