WELCOME

 

It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you back as we begin the 2022-2023 school year.  I am grateful to return to St. Timothy School as Principal after beginning my teaching career in the fifth grade classroom more than a decade ago. We are a community based school that works closely with St. Timothy Church and Parish to create an inclusive, diverse, and loving environment for our students and families. As you enter through our school doors you will find dedicated and passionate teachers, enthusiastic students and a vibrant, active school community. The faculty and staff strongly believe in working in partnership with each family while upholding the commitment to foster a love of learning in each child. We are highly committed to treating each student as an individual, and respecting his or her needs and goals. 

It is with the greatest enthusiasm to begin this year alongside our St. Timothy School families as we pray, learn, play, grow, and challenge ourselves both in and outside of the classroom.

May God continue to bless our school and church community as we begin this fresh start to the new school year.

Warmest regards,

Jennifer Esola
