Parent Resources

St. Thomas More Catholic High School uses Edline, a web-based program, for grade management. The results of all assessments (quizzes, tests, assignments and projects) are posted to Edline on a regular basis. Students and parents are administered login information for their edline.net account during the first week of school, and accounts may be personalized. Any questions concerning your accounts should be submitted to the STM guidance office.

Moodle, which stands for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, is a versatile open-source course and learning management system. Moodle leads the way in e-Learning by providing teachers the opportunity to share course resources with their students, as well as administering online assignments and tests. The students’ calendars in Moodle contain the due date for all test and major assignments for all seven classes.  Additional Moodle courses include:

• Grade Level Courses (i.e. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors): contains vital information from grade level counselors and administrators related to standardized testing, tutoring, college applications, etc.
• Announcements: contains day-to-day announcements related to events taking place on campus.
• Important Information: contains information related to technology and academics including an archive of past topics of interest.
• Directions for viewing your student's Moodle Account.

According to the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), each school system must notify the public of inspections, response actions, periodic surveillance and re-inspection activities on an annual basis.

This is to inform you that AHERA Compliance Management Plans are available for public inspection in either the principal’s or coordinator’s office of each school site in the Diocese of Lafayette School System. These documents include the Inspection Reports, Re-inspection Reports and the Management Plan. Requests to view these may made Monday - Friday during regular school hours.

Inspections of Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) are made by each school every six (6) months. Every three (3) years, re-inspection is conducted by a Certified Asbestos Inspector/Management Planner.
