Saint Teresa

Dear Parents/Families,
 
Thank you for your continued partnership through distance learning this week! We are almost at the finish line! Please be sure that you are checking Gradelink (Gr. 1-8) to ensure that your student does not have any missing work. Through the use of Gradelink, your student’s grades should not be a surprise when report cards are finalized. If you do not have your Gradelink login information, please contact Dr. Amodie and she will send login information. If your student is in need of Summer School this summer, their teacher will be in direct contact with you regarding Summer School. Next week during pickup of materials you summer packets will be included for your student to complete their summer work. This information will also be available on our website. If your child does not receive a summer packet, their teacher has created online summer work for them and will be sending out information regarding the google classroom to you shortly. We understand that distance learning has been challenging but we believe that our students should continue to practice their skills throughout the Summer, especially in Reading and Math.
 
Just as an update for the fall, St. Teresa School is actively planning for on campus school operations to resume in the fall of 2020. Guided by all appropriate health and safety precautions and mandates, determined by the Rhode Island Department of Health, Governor's Office and Centers for Disease Control, faculty and administration will continue to plan and implement infrastructure, policies and preparations throughout the summer and next school year that prioritizes student and teacher safety and guide our educational community through a year of challenges, opportunities and evolving realities. When set guidelines from the Rhode Island Department of Health are available we will implement the health and safety guidelines for our school community and the guidelines will be shared with our families as soon as they are released to administration.
 
A reminder that pickup of student materials will be the week of June 8 ^th and will take place as follows:
   
-Supplies for students in Grades PreK-5 will be ready for families at the assigned times according to the schedule above. Please drive into the school parking lot on the school yard side from Ridgewood Road, pull up to the middle door and someone will bring the materials out to your car, please exit the parking lot through Monticello Ave. This will avoid a disruption in the flow of traffic. If there are any materials that needed to be returned to school please return them at this time.
-Students in Grades 6-8 will need to empty their lockers to obtain their supplies. Students will be allowed in the building 5 students at a time, must wear a mask, and must remain socially distant to retrieve their things and clean out their lockers. 
-Any textbooks that were brought home should be returned at this time.
-Any medications will be returned with your student’s materials.
-Lifetouch Spring pictures will be available with your student’s materials, parents should be prepared to purchase the pictures at this time, there is a picture attached that provides pricing for the picture packages. If you are not purchasing the Spring pictures, they will be returned to Lifetouch.
-Yearbooks are still at the printer and are behind schedule due to the pandemic and will not be available for pickup until a later date.
-Please do not come for pick-up during another time that is not assigned to your class, because of the number of students that we have and social distancing requirements, we must adhere to our schedule.
-If you are not able to make it during your assigned time, please email Dr. Amodie at aamodie@stteresapawtucket.org to set up a time after these days to pick-up your student’s supplies.
-Summer work/reading instructions for each student will be included with their take home materials.
 
A reminder that he last day of school for our 8 ^th graders will be June 10 ^th. On June 12 ^th (their originally scheduled graduation day) we would like to have a school wide parade to celebrate their accomplishment, as we are unable to have their formal graduation ceremony on this day. If you and your family would like to participate in the parade, we will meet at Fallon Elementary School on Friday June 12 ^th at 5:45pm to get organized and decorate our cars. We will take off and have the parade at 6:00pm. The 8 ^th graders will be spaced out in our school parking lot on the school yard side staying with their families at their own cars. Please join us as we celebrate our 8 ^th graders and all of their hard work!
 
A reminder that the last day of school for Grades PK-7 is June 18. Report cards for Grade 1-8 will be posted directly on Gradelink.
 
Miss Bonner will be hosting another Facebook Live class on Wednesday, see the attached flyer for more information!
 
You are in my thoughts and prayers; I can’t wait to see our families during our pickup times!
Have a nice weekend,
Dr. Amodie
