Parent Resources

At Saint Thomas’ Episcopal School, we recognize that parents are an integral part of our school community. That’s why we make every effort to keep you informed and actively engaged in your child’s life at STE.

For your convenience, we’ve compiled information and forms you will need at the start and throughout the school year.

Jumpstart

To give you a head start on the 2019-2020 school year, we’ve produced Jumpstart, a guide with transportation information, communication information, volunteer opportunities, event details, significant dates, and quick facts.

School Supply Lists

Lower School (Grades K-5)

We ask that kindergarten through grade 5 students with last names beginning with letters A through N provide the following items on the first day of school:

  • 3 rolls of paper towels
  • 3 boxes of Kleenex
  • 1 bottle of hand sanitizer
  • 1 container of hand wipes (large size)
  • 2 containers of disinfecting wipes

Students with last names beginning with letters O through Z should provide these items after Christmas break due to limited storage. A reminder will be sent at that time.

Upper school students will receive information during the first week of school concerning school supplies needed.
