Parent/teacher Interviews Dear STM families, our Parent/Teacher Interviews is a great opportunity for us to share academic progress and growth based on classroom observations, testing data, assessments, portfolios, in-class assignments and online assignments using Hapara. Our Parent/Teacher interviews will be conducted by phone or by google meet. Your teacher will be reaching out to you by email/phone shortly to set up an interview time and date to discuss your child’s progress. 
All interviews will be conducted starting November 11th -November 18th. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of our STM educators for their ongoing professionalism and dedication to our students and STM families. Parent/Teacher interviews play a significant role in enhancing a child's education. Please take the time to read your child(ren)’s report card. Saying this, our educators have been preparing their notes and assessment in advance for your interview so that you have a better understanding of your child’s progress. Their passion for teaching is infectious and they are to be commended on their ongoing professionalism. Thank you STM Wolfpack! ______________________________________________________________ Dear Wolfpack families, St.Thomas More School is excited to celebrate two upcoming Spirit Weeks with our Wolfpack community: the first centered around anti-bullying for the month of November, and the second around the spirit of giving “Angel Tree Campaign” and the importance of loving our neighbour.
