STTC Update January 2023

 My apologies for not updating sooner. Had technical difficulties accessing the site.

Since we lost our contract with St. Johns School, we moved to Peninsula Club in Burlingame. If you are interested in more details, contact me at 415 800-9502 or email masaakitajima2@gmail.com.  

STTC Update

I'm sure all are up to date on Covid-19 issue and heeding the city and state guidelines, staying healthy. As I stated in my last update, the closure most likely will last much longer than anticipated. St. John School's new possible opening date is May 1st. but that too maybe extended as Covid-19 is peaking at this time. I'll keep you posted when anything new comes up.

Some of you are lucky to have a table at home so able to practice, and some have sent me videos for critiques. This is great, it helps, so you're welcome to do so.

STTC Update

March 24, 2020


I hope all are well and following the city and state guidelines regarding Covid-19 and taking common sense decisions without panicking.


Since March 10, I have not received any information from the school (nothing new) but their website extended the closure to April 7^th so I will keep you posted. To be clear, we will not be open until April 11-12, if the gym is available. Situation and policies are changing by the day; most schools are projected to be closed this academic year so don’t be surprised if we’re closed until the summer or next academic year.


With that note, stay physically active, keep moving, stay fit. If you’re lucky to have a table at home or know a friend who have one, use it (be sure to take precautions). If you don’t, you know there are other physical activities you can do at home or outdoors; the more fit you are, less vulnerable to sickness, flues and Viruses.  


I don’t know how long it takes for this virus to pass but it will like others.

STTC Update

I was just about to notify all that due to coronavirus concerns, I was cancelling our annual women’s day event and pot-luck dinner and just have our normal schedule for this coming weekend, with some changes in procedures. Then I got this from the school:


March 10, 2020

Dear Archdiocese of San Francisco families,

The public's health and safety are paramount to the Archdiocese of San Francisco and all of our community and educational partners. Sunday evening, the San Francisco Public Health Department confirmed that an ASF student has tested positive for COVID-19.  Additional diagnoses of COVID-19 across our schools are likely.  

After careful consideration and in light of the new information, the Archdiocese will close its school buildings and cancel classes and student-related activities from March 12 - March 25, 2020. This closure includes any planned school events such as fundraisers, community events as well as field trips. This closure means that school buildings will not be open to children, parents, or community members during this time. Course content will be delivered utilizing the Archdiocesan distance learning protocol which has been distributed to all schools.  

I understand this is an evolving health concern, and guidance is changing daily. This complex decision involved close collaboration and coordination with the CDC, local county health departments, and other members of executive leadership across our CA Catholic dioceses. I also ask that you please inform your school leadership if your child receives a confirmed diagnoses of COVID-19.

I understand the hardship this may cause for families. We made this decision out of maximum consideration for the health and safety of our children and school community members. 

As we proceed, we are aware that there continue to be many concerns around COVID-19 and want to ensure families that we are working closely with SFPH for updates and guidance. For the latest information on COVID-19, families are encouraged to visit our ASF webpage, the SFPH webpage dedicated to COVID-19 (2019 Novel Coronavirus), and the CDC homepage.

As a community of faith, I ask that you pray especially for the sick, health care providers, public health officials, and all community leaders during the weeks to come. 

For updates regarding this closure, please visit the Catholic Schools section of the Archdiocese of San Francisco website at https://schools.sfarch.org/.

Yours in Christ,

Pamela Lyons Superintendent of Schools



So, we are closed until the weekend of March 28^th, if all goes well! I’ll take this opportunity to share my thoughts on this issue but I’ll send it later when I have more time.

If you are new to STTC, you cannot get in from front of the school ; school is closed on weekends. Stay on Chenery St. and you will see an open iron gate next to the school. Plenty of parking space, and you'll see the entrance to the gym. Open play is $8. The fee also covers play in the club league if you decide to participate.
