• All students, Kindergarten through 8th grade will need to have a face covering for when it is needed here at school.  It is our goal to keep students together by grade as much as possible, but per the State of Michigan current Phase 4 requirements, all students in grades 6-8 will need to wear a face covering at school and students in K-5 will need face coverings when traveling within the school building.
• Mask Guidelines:
  • All masks or buffs/gaiters must be a solid color of black, navy blue, Spartan green or red.
  • Masks must not have a logo or design unless purchased from Squad Locker with the St. Thomas Aquinas Parish School logo  click here for the Squad Locker link .
  • K-2 - It is preferred that K-2 students have buffs or gaiters to ensure that the piece stays on the child and is less likely to be lost.

To maintain current social distancing standards and to continue to meet the academic needs of our students, we have established a new classroom capacity for each grade.  Based on the square footage of our classrooms, our new capacity will be a maximum of 18 students per classroom and 36 students per grade.
 

We believe our purpose is to assist parents with the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical and cultural development of the child within the guidelines of Catholic teachings and moral values.

We believe our school's academic program provides quality education to develop the foundations for students to become lifelong learners.

Our teachers, aministration and staff are committed to providing a quality education for all of our students. We pursue excellence in academics, the arts, and athletics in order to help students learn how to use their talents for the greater good and for the greater glory of God.  We welcome you to learn more about our school by contacting us today!
