STA Grandparents
We love our STA grandparents!
Grandparents hold a special place in the STA community, sharing in the faith, traditions, and values that help shape our students. Their love, guidance, and presence enrich not only the lives of their grandchildren but also the entire school family. We look forward to celebrating them at Grandparents Day in January 2026—please save the date and plan to join us for this cherished STA tradition!

Grandparents who arrive without an RSVP by the deadline will need to wait for their schedule to be printed on the day of the event.

Lower School
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School Lower School will celebrate all the grandparents of students in PK - 2nd grade on Friday, January 30, 2026. If a grandparent is not able to attend, students may invite a special friend in their place. Students will arrive and leave with their guests.
PK - 2nd Grade
Friday, January 30, 2026
Students only attend IF they are bringing a grandparent or special friend. Smaller, more intimate groups in each classroom allow teachers to interact more with the guests and allows our guests to navigate safely throughout the building.
- There will be four sessions. Students and their guests will attend only during their assigned sessions. They are organized alphabetically by last name, so that all (PK-2nd) children in one family can visit during the same window.
- A – Cola: 8:00 AM – 8:45 AM
- Cole– Leo: 9:00 AM – 9:45 AM
- Leu – Ric: 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM
- Rit – Z: 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM
- Lower School grandparents may park in main lot or at Birdie’s and should enter through the main entrance.
No need to RSVP for the Lower School Grandparents. Upper School siblings have a regular school day with a 12:10 PM release on Friday, January 30th.
Reminder: There will be no Extended Day at the Lower School on Friday, January 30th.
Donate to STA
Donate to STA. When we ask grandparents to consider making a donation to STA in honor of their grandchild, we are inviting them to contribute financially as a way of showing support and appreciation for their grandchild's educational experience. This donation could go towards various initiatives such as funding educational programs, improving facilities, providing scholarships, or supporting extracurricular activities. It allows grandparents to make a meaningful impact on their grandchild's school environment while contributing to its ongoing success and growth.
