Tiger Families,

As the school year ends, I want to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of you.

Thank you for trusting us to provide your child with their educational and spiritual needs this year. It has indeed been an honor and privilege. As teachers, we’re delighted with our students’ progress, and confident they leave as more knowledgeable and independent learners. Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication throughout this school year. We have felt your constant and consistent commitment behind the scenes.

Thank you for choosing St. Teresa Catholic School to share in your family’s growth! We are extremely grateful and thankful that you are part of the Tiger Family!

I look forward to seeing everyone back on August 8th at Open House and August 15th our 1st Day of School. Until then, stay safe and have a wonderful summer.

As always, we thank you for sharing your student with us. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership.

Sincerely,

Nicole Green

Principal

We are excited to announce that the CANTS process has moved to an electronic format. Now when you need a CANTS check or need to update the CANTS check, I will initiate a link via the DCFS portal that will be delivered to your email address. This will come from the email address Dcfs.CFS689BackgroundCheck@illinois.gov. Instructions will be included in the email so that you can verify your information and authorize the request. If you see anything incorrect with what I have included, please let me know before you proceed with the authorization, so that I can correct the information and resend you the link.
