Update from sr Lou ann - Jan 21, 2021

Dear STS Family,
Along with this letter we will be sending you, via email, Re-Registration forms for the 2021-2022 school year. Before you skip to the pages with Tuition & Fees I will tell you that there is an increase in tuition, as mandated by the Archdiocese of Newark (although all the other fees have remained the same). We realize that these are “tough” times but also understand that the investment you make in your child(ren)’s education now WILL have a great effect on their future. We hope that you believe the same and will continue having your child(ren) attend St. Theresa School.
None of us know what the future holds; yet we know what the past has shown and know that we have been able to safely provide in-person instruction throughout the ‘20-‘21 school year with an option for remote-instruction for those who preferred this. This has been quite a feat and has enhanced your child(ren)’s educational experience. Please keep this in mind as you make plans for the next school year.
So, in the last few months, in our “Covid”-world, regulated by “social distancing”, we have had to turn away many children and families who have inquired about joining our school. The word is “out” that our school is unique and that we have been able to maintain our level of instruction despite the challenges of the pandemic whereas many schools, unfortunately, have not been able to do so. That said, as we plan ahead, we must ask that all Re-Registration forms be returned by Friday, February 5, 2021, so that we will be able to accommodate as many young people as possible. After that time, we will be opening our registration to the general public and will be no longer able to guarantee your child(ren) a place at St. Theresa School. Anyone who registers by the February 5th date will receive a $25.00 deduction from their Registration Fee. I know this is not a lot, but every little bit helps, no?
And speaking of “every little bit” helping, the Archdiocese also offers assistance to families wishing to provide a Catholic school education for their child(ren). Please go to https://www.sficnj.org/parent-student-portal to learn more about applying for financial assistance for tuition costs. There is a great deal of information there, in English and in Spanish, so it would be well worth your time to review this information.
We also ask that you help get the “good news” about St. Theresa School out to your family members, friends and neighbors. Here are some initiatives that we are proposing:- YARD SIGNS: Our STS Open House Yard Signs are in! Please consider taking a yard sign, posting it in a conspicuous place, taking a picture of your child(ren) with it, and posting it on your social media sites. Take a screen shot of the post and send it to me… your name will be placed into a drawing for a $50 Amazon Gift Card. Please contact the Office if you would like a Yard Sign. Thanks.
- STS REGISTRATION FLIER: Please share this info with your family, friends, and neighbors. Remember: if you recommend someone to STS, and they register and attend our school, you will receive a $100 tuition credit towards your April, 2022 tuition.
- OPEN HOUSES: Share with your family, friends, and neighbors that we have a “Virtual” Open House at www.mysts.org. I hope you will enjoy seeing it, too. After they have viewed the “Virtual” Open House, they are invited to call the Office (908-276-7220) to set up an in-person tour and to have all their questions answered. Please note: NO TOURS will take place when our children are in-session, but we will accommodate anyone who would like a personal tour.
As always, any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact me at louann.fantauzza@mysts.org or by phone at (908)276-7220. Thanks.
God bless you and God love you all!
Sr. Lou Ann Fantauzza, fma
Principal
