Schoolwide Learning Expectations

Did you know that St. Thomas More School has Learning Expectations for its students? Each week, after reviewing the Principal's letter with the students, the 6th grade reviews the Schoolwide Learning Expectations and talks about how we have met those expectations during the week.
Here is an example!
THOUGHTFUL, SPIRITUAL INDIVIDUALS
When we help one another by sharing our supplies with a smile, when we pick up something that someone dropped, when we help our kindergarten partners, we are being thoughtful, spiritual individuals.
HIGHLY EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS
When we have a class discussion on current events and listen attentively to one another, when we share our thoughts and remember to raise our hands, we are being effective communicators.
INVOLVED CITIZENS
When we participate in the Sandwiches for the Needy program or the Toiletries Drive for the Blue Star Moms, we are involving ourselves in the needs of others, and recognizing that we are citizens of the world.
KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS
When we use our planners at the end of the day and organize ourselves to do our homework, when we organize our backpacks and ensure that we have all the supplies we will need to learn the next day, we are using our skills as knowledge seekers.

New Report!

We are writing reports for Hispanic American Heritage month! Use the link below to find information on your chosen subject!

Everyone should have a worksheet to help them organize their information after having technology class this week. The report will then be organized into at least three well written paragraphs which will be handed in no later than October 17.
