Visitors and Volunteers
VisitorsSt. Thomas More School has a buzzer system for school entrance. All visitors will be allowed entrance to the school only after identification is complete.
For security reasons, anyone entering St. Thomas More School is to report to the office or receptionist immediately regardless of the purpose of the visit. This is for the safety of all students.
Communication with teachers and students necessary during a visit will be handled by the school office and will be done in a manner that does not disrupt the educational process in the school. Any articles or items delivered for a student will be left in the school office or with the receptionist.
Volunteers
School volunteers must be registered on the Diocese of Pittsburgh Data Base prior to volunteering. Volunteerism is central to the mission of Catholic education. The school needs volunteers to assist with the lunch program and the school library. Parents are required to volunteer time in the school cafeteria at least 5 times throughout the school year or pay $50.00 to the school.
Arrangements for volunteer opportunities are made on a sign-up basis at the beginning of the school year. See the first school information packet to choose a volunteer opportunity that suits your talents and interests.
St. Thomas More School PTG provides parents with volunteer opportunities via a sign-up sheet that is distributed in the fall of the school year. Parents can choose the area that best suits their personal schedule and talents.
St. Thomas More School does not permit parents to volunteer in school academic areas. Academics are handled solely by professional personnel.
The administration of St. Thomas More School and Parish reserves the right to alter or amend this parent-student handbook at any time.
Should changes be made, the changes will be communicated promptly to parents/guardians of students at St. Thomas More School.
