KINDERGARTEN APPLICATION FORMS As a reminder, students currently attending Utopia Preschool and/or with siblings currently attending St. Thomas More School will be given preference in the kindergarten class of 2017-2018 if the application form is received by December 9, 2016. Please reserve Saturday, January 7 for kindergarten screenings and interviews.
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN (TK) We are in the process of applying to offer a Transitional Kindergarten program at STM beginning in the Fall of 2017. This will allow us to accept children who turn five years old between September 2 and December 2. Once our application has been approved by the Department of Catholic Schools, we will have lots of information to share with you about this exciting new program.
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM Please save Thursday night, December 15, for our school's presentation of our Christmas Program. We will begin at 7:00pm in the Gym and all students, preschool through 8th grade will have a part in this program.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT DONATION This replaces the $350 Capital Improvement/Gymnasium Maintenance
Fee from previous years. Making a donation instead of paying a fee may allow you to claim it on your taxes. However, we depend on full participation from all families. This donation supports the maintenance of the school plant and ongoing building improvements. For your convenience, this donation has been billed to your FACTS account. We appreciate receiving all donations no later than December 15, 2016. If you prefer to pay by check/cash, please let the school office know.
8th GRADE RECOMMENDATIONS This is the time of the year when 8th graders are busily writing their high school essays and completing their applications. Because of changing demographics many families attend church in Parishes other than where their school is located. Please remember that students will need to have their clergy recommendations signed by the pastor in the parish
where they attend Mass and other church services. This will ensure that recommendations are written by a pastor who knows your child and who is familiar with your family's involvement in your local church. Please note that all recommendation forms will go directly to Mrs. Girlich. She will then distribute them to the appropriate staff members.
