Hello and Welcome to Preschool!
My name is Theresa Zaleski and I am excited to start a new journey with you at St. Joseph's Catholic School. For the previous 5 years I was blessed to be the Kindergarten teacher at Our Lady of Humility in Beach Park. Before I was at OLH I was a preschool teacher too.
I am excited to be back in Preschool and I am thrilled to help your child learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to being a part of such a positive and loving community. In my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends. I have three growing boys. I enjoy watching them grow in their academics, sports and clubs they are all in. They for sure keep me on my toes as they are all in different stages of their lives, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I look forward to having an amazing year together as we meet new friends, explore new things with hands-on activities, and explore something new everyday.

Snack Guidelines 2026-2027
St. Joseph Catholic School
Classroom Snack/Lunch Time Guidelines
Why do we have snack time?
Most children and teens need to eat every three to four hours throughout the day to fuel their growing, active bodies and to meet their MyPlate daily food plan. This translates into the following:
- Younger students need to eat three meals and at least two snacks a day (one during school hours).
- Older students need to eat three meals and at least one snack a day (they may need two snacks if they're going through a growth spurt or if they are very physically active).
SJCS Snack Guidelines:
- A daily snack is permitted in all grades (teacher to decide what time works best with their schedule and not too close to the students’ lunch period).
- Refillable water bottles are permitted for all students. In an effort to ‘go green’ please do not send disposable water bottles.
- Only nut free snacks and lunches will be permitted due to the increase of students with food allergies.
- Proportions should be appropriate for the child's age.
- Easy, convenient, and dry snack highly suggested
- Preferably healthy (please avoid sending food with a high sugar content)

Unfortunately we couldn’t go outside with rain so we enjoyed play dough and puzzles.
Today we cracked open a coconut 🥥 and got to see what is in it, how it feels, and smells.
Today we finished our Chicka boom boom art. Yesterday we painted our hands. Today we cut out our hands and glued them to the coconut 🌴 trunk.
