Dear Parents/Families,
 
Thank you for your support during this time of transition! Our teachers have been working tirelessly to provide students with quality assignments and virtual instruction. The goal of distance learning is to get right to the heart of the material and dive in. I can’t thank you enough for helping your student login and tackle the work packets. Overall, I think we have had a successful week virtually, the majority of students have attended a virtual session, and have been working through their packets and google classrooms. It was great to see so many packets get picked up for this coming week (3/30-4/3).
 
This week as we continue our virtual learning sessions, it is important that teachers have a connection with your student. If you are unable to attend virtual sessions, please try and connect with your teacher via email to ensure that your student is not missing instruction. If we continue to be out of school after this coming week (3/30-4/3) we will not be printing packets moving forward. The Department of Health has recommended that we limit physical contact even more than we have been. If we continue to be out of school information for packets will be sent to you directly from your student’s teachers.
 
If you are still having an issue with technology please let Dr. Amodie (aamodie@stteresapawtucket.org) know.

At the end of this post is the virtual schedule for next week. Please know that these virtual meetings are not mandatory but meant for students to have an opportunity to check in with their teachers, see their classmates, ask any questions that they may have and for teachers to guide their working through their packets.
 
Mr. Sabourin and Ms. Bonner (Music & Gym) have shared videos with students via their emails and Google classroom. Grade 7 & 8 are incorporating Religion time into their already scheduled classes.
 
I can’t thank you enough for your continued support of our school, our teachers, and most especially our students during this difficult time.
 
God Bless and Stay Healthy!
Dr. Amodie

Dear Parents/Families,
            Today Governor Raimondo announced that schools will be closed through the month of April. We, too, will continue our distance learning through the month of April. We will continue with our virtual learning schedule until April 9. We will take off April 10, 13, 14 off for the Easter Holiday. We will resume our virtual learning on April 15 and continue through the month of April.
            If you are still having technology issues regarding Wifi or a device please contact Dr. Amodie at aamodie@stteresapawtucket.org and she will help you. Your child’s teacher has been in constant contact with you via the email that we have on file for you at school. If you or your child have not been receiving emails from your child’s teacher regarding information for virtual sessions, online platforms, and the plan for your student please contact Dr. Amodie with your correct email address and I will pass it on to the teacher. Students are being emailed through their school email account. The best way to get in contact with us is now via email, as no one will be at the school answering the phone.
            Thank you for continuing to work with us during this unprecedented time.
Stay safe and healthy, we miss you!
God Bless,
Dr. Amodie
 

Dear Parents/Families,
 
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope that you and your families are well. Today, while the students have the day off from distance learning, our teachers participated in a virtual workshop with The Highlander Institute regarding student engagement. It was a great workshop! A reminder that Monday, May 25, is Memorial Day so we will not have distance learning, virtual classes will resume on Tuesday, May 26. Attached here are the virtual schedules for the week of May 26-May 29.
 
The 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.
 
Have a great weekend!
Dr. Amodie

A reminder that we have no school on Friday, May 22, our teachers are attending a virtual professional development workshop. This professional development day was on our original school calendar. We will also have no school on Monday, May 25, as it is Memorial Day.
            Next week we will email a schedule regarding the pickup of the student’s materials from school. The schedule will have specific dates and times for pickup, as we have to continue to abide by the rules of gathering and social distancing. A big thank you to everyone that supported our virtual book fair!
 
Have a great week! Stay healthy and stay safe!

Dear Parents/Families,
As I am sure you have heard by now, Governor Raimondo has decided that schools will not reopen for the remainder of the school year, distance learning will continue. This is the case for our school as well, as we must follow safety and health guidelines from the state. This news, while not a surprise, has certainly hit myself and our teachers hard, we are saddened that our St. Teresa Family will not be able to come back together in our school building this school year. So much of what makes our school special are the connections that are shared between our students and our teachers. While it will not be the same, our teachers will continue to be there for our students to teach, guide, and help them through this challenging experience. Our distance learning schedule will continue and follow our school calendar through the end of the school year.
            This week during my “Lunch Meetings” with the students I heard about some of the great things that are happening during our time apart, first teeth being lost, learning how to tie shoe laces, learning how to ride bikes, baking, embroidery, video games, playing outside, practicing basketball, and our Middle Schoolers’ favorite response, catching up on sleep. It was an absolute joy to see the students and talk to them for a few minutes and catch up on the things that they would tell me about in school. I am so impressed with how well they have adapted to distance learning and while I know it has not gone without struggle and difficulty, I can’t say thank you enough to our parents and families for working together with our teachers.
             Just a reminder to parents about completing your financial aid applications through FACTS. Also, if you have not completed your registration form for the 2020-2021 school year you can now do so electronically by visiting our website and clicking the green button here: https://stteresaschoolpawtucket.com/admissions-1
            We will have a schedule for students to come into the school building and gather their things from their desks and lockers closer to the end of the school year so that any textbooks can be returned at the same time.
            The virtual schedule is attached to this post as well as the Gospel Weeklies for this Sunday.
 
Please continue to stay safe and know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.
 
God Bless,
Dr. Amodie

Dear Parents/Families,
 
            We hope that you had a happy and holy Easter despite the differences this year. As distance learning continues, we think it is important to mention a few reminders. First, distance learning is not meant to completely mimic a school day. That being said, if you feel that your child needs more work, please reach out to their teacher and I am sure that they will be more than willing to provide extra learning opportunities. Next, it is extremely important that students are completing work with their best effort. We understand that as time goes on motivation to do their best work dwindles but teachers are working hard to create meaningful learning opportunities for students and expect that students will be completing work with their best effort as well. If students are struggling with material and need more time for an assignment, please contact the teacher. Teachers are more than willing to meet with students virtually or have phone conversations to help students understand assignments and material. Middle School Parents, many students have taken to the practice of not showing their screens during virtual meetings. This is leading teachers to believe that students are not engaged in the lesson or even in front of the screen at all. Please encourage your student to be present and engaged in virtual meetings, the human connection is so important and virtual sessions allow for at least some connection between students, their classmates, and teachers.
 
Next week I will be hosting “Lunch with Dr. Amodie” sessions for students through Google Meet, invitations for students to join in the virtual meeting and have lunch with me will be sent to the student’s school email address. If you don’t know your student’s school email address please contact Dr. Amodie and I will pass along the information. The schedule is as follows:
Monday: PreK 3 & 4 and Kindergarten: 11:30am
Tuesday: Grades 1 & 2: 11:30 am
Wednesday: Grades 3 & 4: 11:30am
Thursday: Grades 5 & 6: 12:00pm
Friday: Grades 7 & 8: 12:00pm
Grab your lunch and let’s chat!
 
There will be an ice cream fundraiser to benefit the Izzy Room at Hasbro Children’s Hospital! This is the same room that we had a snack drive for in the Fall. More information about the Ice Cream Fundraiser is attached at the bottom of this message. Also, Senior Citizen residents at Tockwotton nursing home could use some smiles, many are confused and don’t understand why there are no visitors. If your student would like to make a card or send a letter to a Senior Citizen Resident, please mail them to:
Tockwotton on the Waterfront

Stay safe & healthy!

Dear Parents/Families,
 
Thank you for another successful week of distance learning. The transition from packets to fully digital was a bit of a switch but necessary to ensure that we are keeping everyone safe. Thank you for the time and effort that you have put in to learn about Google Classroom, SeeSaw, IXL, Zearn, Epic, and any other platforms that your student is using to make the most of distance learning. If you are having difficulty navigating the work or the any part of this process, please reach out to your student’s teacher and they are here to help. We have found some of the most successful interactions between teachers and parents have been on the phone with their student there to help go through the steps together.
 
Just a reminder that we do not have virtual sessions on Monday 4/13 or Tuesday 4/14 in observance of the Solemnity of Easter Sunday. We have also started the 4^th Quarter and I know that our students are going to continue to do their best. Many of you have asked about Spring Pictures and emails that you have received from Lifetouch regarding “the last time to purchase”, we have received notification from Lifetouch that this message was automated from their system and as we have not yet received our pictures not applicable to our school. We have not been notified as to when we will be receiving out picture packages as of yet.
 
At the end of this letter are the virtual schedules for next week 4/13-4/17 and the Gospel Weeklies for Easter Sunday.
 
We hope that you enjoyed our video that was sent out yesterday and that it brought a smile to your face!
 
We hope you have a Blessed and Holy Easter!
Dr. Amodie

Dear Parents/Families,
 
Thank you for another successful week of distance learning. We know that at times this can be a challenge and we thank you for continuing to work with us and your student through this difficult time. Please continue to reach out to your student’s teacher if you have specific questions regarding the platforms that are being used or the work that is assigned, they are willing and ready to help in any way possible, including walking you through steps on the phone if necessary.
 
As I mentioned last week, we will not be printing packets as we move forward with distance learning. This was a directive from the Department of Health. Information regarding assignments for this coming week (4/6-4/9) will be communicated to you via your student’s teacher. Many teachers are using Google Classroom, and the work will be posted for your student daily. All submission of completed work will also be completed through pictures of work sent, or Google Classroom submissions.
 
Grades for the 3^rd Quarter are closing today 4/3. Report cards will be available digitally next Friday on your student’s Gradelink (Grades 1-8). We will not be mailing home report cards at this time. If you need your Gradelink login information, please let Dr. Amodie know via email.
 
Next week (4/6-4/9) we will be having a virtual spirit week! Students are encouraged to dress in the theme of each day when they meet with their class virtually. The themes are as follows:
Monday: Pajama Day
Tuesday: Crazy Hat Day
Wednesday: Sports Day
Thursday: School Pride (Green, Gold, White)
Please encourage your student to participate in our virtual spirit week, just a little something fun to change up our days !
 
At the end of this post is the virtual schedule for next week (4/6-4/9). While we continue to make the virtual meetings optional for students to attend, we strongly encourage them to attend if at all possible. Teachers are giving instruction during their virtual meetings. Regardless if students are attending virtual sessions or not, they are still expected to be completing work and returning it to their teachers. If a student needs more time with an assignment, please communicate with their teacher. At the end of this post are also links to Gospel Weeklies for each of the grade level, the Gospel Weeklies can be used by you and your family to discuss the topics that would have been talked about at Mass this weekend, being Palm Sunday. I know it is difficult not being able to attend Mass, and wanted to give families something to use to speak with their children about in regards to Mass.
 
A reminder that our schedule next week is a day off next Friday (4/10) for Good Friday, and we will also be off the Monday and Tuesday after Easter (4/13 & 4/14) to pause and acknowledge the Solemnity of Easter.  Classes will resume Wednesday, April 15.
 
Please share via email or on Facebook any photos of your student working on assignments/activities or during virtual spirit days, we would love to see them!!
 
Again, thank you for your continued support! Our St. Teresa School Family is strong and thriving during this difficult time!
 
God Bless and Stay Healthy!
