St. Teresa School Parent Calendar

Letter from the Principal

Dear Tiger Families,


We warmly invite you to join us this Sunday, October 20th, for a Special Mass in honor of the 25th Anniversary of St. Joseph's Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel. Please join us as Bishop McGovern celebrates mass at St. Teresa Church at 11:00 am in honor of this special occasion.


This past Wednesday, our school community gathered for a special and heartwarming event—a Living Rosary in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as we celebrate the month of October, traditionally dedicated to her.


October, known as the Month of Mary, is a time when Catholics around the world are encouraged to turn their hearts toward Our Lady through the prayer of the Rosary. The Living Rosary brought this devotion to life in a unique and profound way.


Next week is Red Ribbon Week, and we are excited to participate in this important event focused on promoting healthy, drug-free lifestyles. Be sure to check the flier and follow us on social media to see what fun activities and themes are planned for each day!

Special Events:

  • Thursday, October 24th: Students will have the opportunity to pick a pumpkin from Perpetual Help’s Pumpkin Patch! We thank Perpetual Help for providing this, so that St. Teresa students can enjoy choosing their very own pumpkin to take home.

  • Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. If you haven't yet scheduled a conference with your child's teacher, please reach out to them as soon as possible.

During these conferences, report cards and IOWA test scores will be distributed, providing a chance to review your child's progress and discuss ways to support their continued growth.


As always, we thank you for sharing your student with us. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership. TIGERS LEAD THE WAY!


TIGERS TOGETHER FOR ADAM!


Sincerely,

Nicole Green

Principal
