STA Weekly Newsletter

You must park your vehicle and walk your student into the school.

During morning drop-off, doors open at 7:30 am, and parents must leave the school at the first bell, which is at 7:50 am.

During school pick-up, doors open at 3:00 pm, and parents must leave the school at 3:45 pm so that we can safely move students to daycare.

We need you to follow the parking rules:

Only park in handicap spaces if you have a placard.

No parking in the fire lane.

No parking by the school gate.

Everyone on campus must follow the Christian Code of Conduct in every interaction:

Code of Christian Conduct for Schools​

Students can best receive a quality, morally based education if students, parents/guardians, and school staff work together. As an express condition of enrollment, students and parents/guardians shall follow standards of conduct that are consistent with Christian principles of respect and consideration ("Code of Christian Conduct"). In schools, the principles and expectations arising out of the Code of Christian Conduct include but are not limited to:

Parents/guardians and school staff are expected to be positive role models for their students and each other. Accordingly, parents/guardians shall work courteously and cooperatively with school staff and each other to assist students in meeting the academic, moral, and behavioral expectations of the school.

Students and parents/guardians may respectfully express their concerns about the school's operations and its staff. However, they may not do so in a manner that is discourteous, scandalous, rumor driven, disruptive, threatening, hostile, or divisive.

Parents/guardians and students should communicate concerns directly to the appropriate school staff member on an individual basis. The individual staff member is expected to respond to those concerns appropriately according to the Code of Christian Conduct and the ​Core and Pastoral Values​. Public ​communications by parents/guardians or students such as petitions, group emails, protests, negative social media comments, and group meetings not scheduled by the school violate the Code of Christian Conduct. Note: this provision does not apply to any employee-parent who engages in employment-related concerted activity, including but not limited to picketing and distributing handbills.

The school environment should enable school staff to carry out their calling as ministers. Therefore, any parent/guardian or other person whose conduct materially disrupts class work or extracurricular activities or involves substantial disorder violates this principle.

School staff have the right to serve the school community free from humiliation or harassment. Parents/guardians or other persons may not insult or harass any school staff member in the presence of students, parents/guardians, or other school staff while on school premises, public sidewalks, public streets, other public ways adjacent to school premises, or at some other place if the staff member is required to be there in connection with assigned school activities.

These expectations for students and parents/guardians include but are not limited to all school-sponsored programs and events (e.g., extended care, athletics, and field trips). ​The school's parent/student handbook may include additional expectations based upon local requirements.

​

The school may respond to violations of the Code of Christian Conduct and its principles by requiring parents/guardians to:

cease the behavior that violates the Code of Christian Conduct or any of its principles

cooperate with the school to remediate any violations

limit the parent(s)/guardian(s) interaction and presence with school staff unless required by the school

withdraw the family and its enrolled students from the school. If a family is asked to withdraw and declines, the school may expel the family's enrolled students.

The winning class will be selected by the parish office personnel on Friday, 12/19/25.

The winning class will be awarded a pizza party on Friday, 1/9/25.

Thank you all for participating in our first PTO raffle.

The winning ticket number will be randomly selected at Thursday's PTO meeting. Please join us.

We have registered TWO separate boys teams this season.
There will be a Varsity team (Team 1) and a Junior Varsity team (Team 2).
Coaches decide team rosters this season. Coaches will be allowed to make roster changes throughout the season—for example, if your child is on the JV team but consistently shows effort and improvement during practices/games, that player may be moved up to the Varsity team. Likewise, if your child is on the Varsity team but lacks effort and motivation during practices/games, that player may be moved down to the JV team.

For any questions, please send me an email and I will respond to you as soon as I can.

Best,

Mr. JD
