We are excited to welcome grandparents to campus on Grandparents Day — November 21. Grandparents are invited to spend the morning with their grandchild(ren) for a reception, musical presentations, old school games and Book Fair shopping! We will send more details in the coming weeks.
If you need to check out your child before afternoon dismissal, you must check him/her out prior to 2:30 p.m., as we are entering our dismissal procedures at that time. If a student is not checked out prior to 2:30 p.m., he/she will be dismissed at 2:54 p.m. when carpool begins.
With the coming of cooler temperatures, here are reminders of STM uniform requirements:
Do you have a child entering school next year? Do you know a family looking for a school? Applications for new students are open at stmbr.org/apply. We have limited availability for qualified candidates. Please note: Applications are for new students only; current students will reenroll for 2026-2027 in January.
In honor of Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11, students may wear red, white, and blue t-shirts in place of the uniform shirt or over the jumper, socks, ties, turtlenecks, bows, jewelry, beads, hats (not worn inside), scarves and sweatshirts. No light-up accessories, please.
The STM Scholastic Book Fair is November 14-21! Help STM meet our goal and inspire a love of reading in our students. Scholastic will give back a portion of the goal as rewards to our school when you shop.
Click here to visit the STM Book Fair website and set up your child's eWallet.
eWallet is a safe cash-free way for your child to shop the Fair. Share your eWallet link with friends and family — anyone can contribute!
Book Fair Family Night is Tuesday, November 18, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. in the STM Library. Join us for books, fellowship, food trucks, photo ops, and a visit from Thomas the Eagle! Come shop the Book Fair and enjoy some good fun and food with friends.

The St. Thomas More Student Council has been busy spreading spirit and providing service to the school community during the past few months. In addition to sponsoring the fall pep rally, the student council members visited the younger students in Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st through 3rd grades on Halloween day. They presented skits, giving the children tips for safe trick-or-treating, and left them with a “Ghost Pop” treat to enjoy. The group is also carrying out the school recycling program and plans to serve as Ambassadors for the coming Grandparents’ Day.
We did it again! St. Thomas More Catholic School and Church are in the WINNERS CIRCLE for Baton Rouge Parents Magazine Family Favorites FOUR YEARS IN A ROW! Thank you, STM Family, for voting! YOU are what makes our STM community the winner!
