STA Weekly Update

On August 15th, the teachers will be offsite in a mandatory professional development for our social-emotional learning program through our partnership with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

The office will be open from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.

On August 16th, the school will be closed because the city of Monterey Park will be repairing a water line in our neighborhood, and our water will be shut. We cannot have students or faculty on-site without running water.

The whole school will be closed.

Thank you for your understanding and your unwavering support.

Fundraiser Reminders

• Save your online ordering code and share with your supporters to make sure online purchases count. Reminder — your online ordering code is: 8DVP97E. If you have questions about how the online ordering process works, see the attached PDF. Please note that fundraiser online ordering is only valid through pickup during your fundraiser’s scheduled date, time, and assigned restaurant. Ordering delivery for fundraisers is not permitted at this time.
• Make sure your supporters show the fundraiser flyer (hard copy or on their phone) or tell the cashier at checkout that they are there for a fundraiser before they pay! If they don’t tell our cashier, your organization won’t get credit for the sale.
• A minimum of $150 in total sales is required in order to receive a donation.
• Your organization is NOT permitted to hand out flyers to anyone (including your own supporters) or promote the event inside or outside of the restaurant or in the parking lot at any time — that’s cheating! Violation of this policy will result in your fundraiser being cancelled. All promotion should be done prior to the fundraiser – this is your time to sit back and enjoy a big tasty burrito.
• Gift cards purchased during fundraisers do not count towards total donated sales, but purchases made with an existing gift card will count.

Welcome back to another exciting academic year! Our first week has been nothing short of eventful, and I am incredibly proud of how each of you has embraced the start of this new journey.

On the very first day, we were met with an unexpected challenge—a significant earthquake. I want to commend every one of you for your quick thinking, calmness, and preparedness during this incident. Our teachers and staff responded with remarkable composure, guiding students with clear and reassuring instructions. Students, you did an outstanding job following those directions, ensuring everyone's safety.

Your actions demonstrated the strength of our community and the effectiveness of our preparedness efforts. It's clear that together, we can face any challenge that comes our way.

As we move forward, I am filled with excitement for all that we will accomplish together this year. Let’s continue to support one another, learn from each other, and make this year one to remember.

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
