Walkers There will now be a safety patrol at the gate by the Kindergarten playground from
7:45 AM-8:05 AM so that walkers can enter there in the morning instead of walking around.   If you arrive before or after this time you will have to walk around.  Walkers still must sign in at Mulhern Hall and sign out in the afternoon in front of the principal's office.
   
  Important Note:
St. Thomas More Catholic School does not casually endorse or promote extracurricular programs by allowing brochures, advertisements etc…to be displayed in the school or distributed to the study body. In order to have your program endorsed you must interview with St. Thomas More School administration, and present a recent background screening on the provider/s of the services who will be working with children. Further recommendations and/or visits to the program site may be required. Once we have this information school officials will make a decision.
