Operating Information for Feb. 2 - 3, 2026

Dear STM Families,

It's nice to be back! Thank you for your cooperation at drop-off this morning, and to the many volunteers whose help truly made a difference!

There will be a change to the dismissal procedure this afternoon due to Thomas Street only being one lane. All cars exiting the school will be directed to turn right onto Thomas Street and head north to limit having to navigate on-coming cars in both directions.

In addition, STM will follow APS and open with a two-hour delay tomorrow, Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Like today, Extended Day will open at 8:00am and any parents who can help at drop-off would be greatly appreciated. Also, any absences due to inclement weather will be excused absences. Stay safe and warm everyone!

Blessings,
Ann LaBarge, M.Ed.
Principal
St. Thomas More Cathedral School
