We understand at times there may be conflict that arises at school. In fact, Jesus tells us that conflict is inevitable, and he tells us how Christians should approach conflict.

Matthew 18:15-17 (see above) teaches us to first go to the person directly involved with the conflict to talk through it. "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you."

The conflict resolution process at St. Thomas More follows Jesus' teaching. We ask you to please talk directly, in a kind and compassionate manner, to the teacher with whom the conflict origniates. Teachers are always available right after school, and can always be emailed, called, or messaged on Class Dojo. Please see our full Conflict Resolution Policy and Process in our Family Handbook on pg. 31.

Please join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. Steve Kimball on October 26, 2023 from 5:00 - 7:00pm at St. Thomas More School in Green Bay, WI. Dr. Kimball served as the Interim Prinicpal at STM during the 2019-2020 school year. Light refreshments will be served. This is an open house event so please drop in at any time. Bring your memories, stories, and photos of our beloved brother Steve!
