Dear Parents,
One week down and none of us are counting how many are left because it has been such a wonderful transition into our school day routines. During the last few years Covid forced some modifications to our processes, but we are well underway to tightening up this year: We are standing taller at the Pledge of Allegiance, more reverent at Mass, quieter in the hallways, and ensuring our uniforms, haircuts and jewelry are in accordance with the Parent-Student Handbook. We are proud to be Saint Thomas More!
The lunchroom has been one area of major improvement this first week. Last year many parents indicated that their children were coming home ravenous with half-full lunchboxes. Students were not focused on the task at hand, which was eating lunch. We have instituted a new routine to help students get the nourishment they need at lunch while still having time to socialize. Students are free to run and play, laugh and shout at recess. Then they enter the lunchroom silently where they have 10 minutes to concentrate on their lunch. The rest of the lunch period is spent in quiet conversation with those around them. Quiet music plays in the background and the atmosphere is lovely.
Sixth grade safeties are hard at work making sure our drop-off and pick-up continue to run smoothly. A quick reminder: in the morning, please be sure to have your student wait until the safety opens the door (even if you have a middle schooler).
Lastly, be sure to mark your calendars for Back to School Night! Parents are asked to gather in the Cathedral next Wednesday, September 7, at 6:30pm. We will begin with a short prayer service in the Cathedral, and an address by our Rector, prior to moving to the school building for informational sessions with your children’s teachers.
Chat soon,
Cath
