Home and School Association
We want all new families to feel at home in our community.
Our goal is that their first connection is a lasting connection!
The parents of St. Timothy Catholic School join with the faculty, administration, and Parish to support the school and to continue the tradition of quality, affordable Catholic education.
The Association assists the school and parish community in attaining their stated mission, philosophy, and vision:
- By raising funds to help keep the school affordable
- By volunteering to support the health and vitality of the school
- By developing Christian community and positive relationships among parents, students, faculty and staff, and Parish
INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Parent involvement is an integral part to the success of all our students. All registered school families donate their time and talents through the volunteer opportunities. This provides a service to the school while offering the families continued opportunities for community building and faith formation.
PARTNERS SERIES
Raising children in the values, morals, and principles of the Catholic faith is no easy task. The Home & School Association is hosting a Parent Partners series. Topics will focus on specific needs by age and include developing self-esteem, growing in the faith, internet safety, and early literacy. All school families are invited to join and grow with us on this journey.
BUDDIES PROGRAM
The Parent Buddies Program matches volunteer host parents with new families in Grades PK2-8 so they can get better acclimated to Saint Timothy. If you are part of a new family and would like to have a Parent Buddy assigned to you, or if you are part of an existing STCPS family and would like to be a host Parent Buddy, please email office@sttimothymiami.org.

Students may bring lunch from home or purchase lunch at school. The school provides a hot lunch program through contracted services with COLE Catering. COLE publishes a monthly menu with their daily selection. Students may chose from the daily special, alternate hot selections, sandwiches, or salad.
