The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) has created a committee of professionals, including a representative from non-public schools, to create guidelines for the re-opening of New Jersey schools for the 2020-2021 school year. As part of this process, the NJDOE is collecting information from New Jersey parents through a survey which will reflect opinions and concerns regarding remote learning, the re-opening of schools, safety, and health issues. It is crucial that parents of students in Catholic and other non-public schools have a voice in this process. Please click the link in the title to access the survey (due Monday, June 8th).

Please read the announcement from Mrs. Triebenbacher (link in title) regarding the continuation of our Remote Learning Plan for the rest of the 2019-2020 academic year.

While educating each and every student via remote learning is our primary focus amid Aquinas Academy’s closure for the Covid-19 pandemic, we must also continue planning for the 2020-2021 school year. Re-registration is now open for the 2020-2021 school year (link in title). All students who are returning to Aquinas Academy for the 2020-2021 school year are required to complete re-registration forms and pay the family non-refundable registration fee of $350.00 no later than Monday, April 20, 2020. We understand that during this unprecedented pandemic, some families may not be able to pay the registration fee at this time. Families have the option of adding the registration fee into their scheduled tuition payments via Smart Tuition. Please note, if you choose to defer payment of the registration fee and choose not to enroll, you are required to pay the non-refundable registration fee of $350.

In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, our Holy Father will give an extraordinary blessing "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) this FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2020, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time (6:00 PM Rome time). All the faithful and other Christians in our local Church and beyond are invited to participate in the special prayer with Pope Francis, which will be broadcast by Mondovision and live-streamed on the Vatican News website at www.vaticannews.va. The Holy Father will grant to all participants in the livestream a Plenary Indulgence before imparting the Urbi et Orbi Blessing.

Remote learning has begun at Aquinas Academy! Please see the tab above on the main menu bar.

On February 28th, we had an amazing assembly, "Kindness for Christopher." A former AQA family lost their son in a tragic boating accident when he was 10. The movement #KindnessforChristopher teaches everyone to be kind, to include others, to speak up when someone is bullied, and to share our gifts with others.
