Beginning on Wednesday, November 1st, St. Thomas More School will be implementing an additional two rules related to our dress code:

1. Students must have their natural fingernails. No plastic, acrylic, or fake nails will be allowed for students. Addtionally, only modest nail polish may be used on natural nails.
2. Any jewlery worn by students must be modest and school appropriate.

These changes are to ensure that students can be successful at school in a healthy and safe learning environment for all. Any students found to be in violation of the above rules will have the following consequences:

1. Warning; parents are notified and student is expected to return the school the following day with the correct dress code in place
2. Student is sent home to correct the dress code infraction
3. A parent meeting with the Principal

Thank you very much for helping ensure our students have a safe, healthy, and God-honoring school experience!

Beginning on Monday, October 30th, students will be entering school at Door #3 instead of Door #4. The doors will open at 8:00 and will close at 8:15 like usual. Cars are still asked to please pull all the way toward the garage doors to ensure there is not a long back up of cars waiting on Grove Street. You are always welcome to park and walk your students to the entry door!
