Effective: September 8, 2020

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, St Theresa School is implementing revised procedures for the dropoff and pickup of all students attending in-person.  Please read carefully and make note of the procdures as well as the specific entrances and exits that pertain to your child.  The goal of these procdures is ensure the health and safety and well-being of all students, faculty and staff of St. Theresa's school as well as family members.

Keep in mind, when driving and parking in the school parking lot, always drive slowly and be aware that children are walking in the parking lot.

We thank you for your patience and understanding!

Due to Covid-19 requirements students and their families are not permitted to re-enter the school building after dismissal for forgotten items, restrooms, etc.  If there is a need to do business at the school office parents must use the main entrance.

If it is necessary to pick up a student before dismissal a note from the parent/guardian to the Office and the homeroom teacher is required.  Upon the parent/guardian’s arrival at the school, the student will be sent for.

If someone else will be picking up a student at dismissal, parents must notify the teacher in writing.  If an emergency arises during the school day, a parent may call the office to give notification of a change about who will be picking up their child.

Parents who are not able to pick up their children by 3:00 pm are required to make use of the school’s extended care program.  Any students who remain in the dismissal areas after 3:00 pm will automatically be brought to the extended care program, and the parents will be charged for this service.

Students who are registered for Morning Care are to be dropped off through the front door of the Gym after 7:00 AM.  Students in the After School Program will also be picked up from this door.

If it is necessary to pick up a student before the end of the school day, a note/phone call from the parent/guardian to the Office and the homeroom teacher is required.  Upon the parent/guardian’s arrival at the school, the student will be sent for by a designated school official.
