Holy Rosary School
Dear Holy Rosary School Families,
I hope everyone is having a blessed summer and is getting ready for the start of
the
new school year. Here is a brief reminder on a few upcoming items of importance.
With the start of the Olympic Games tonight, and as a Catholic community, we need to pray for a peaceful Olympics and the safety of all Olympians. Go U.S.A.

Serendipity Changes
This year, Mrs. Jolie Golinveaux will be taking on the responsibilities of Director of Serendipity while still teaching with the Pre-K program in the mornings. She has worked with Serendipity in many different capacities and will help with a seamless transition. We are grateful to Mrs. Golinveaux for taking on this new role.
Another change we will be making to Serendipity this year to better serve our families, is we will be asking those adults picking up the students to physically sign them out. This will allow us to know exactly who the children left with if there is any questions. We know this may take some time to get used to however, this system is better for the safety and well being of our students.
Due to the increase in cost to the Serendipity Program, the fees have gone up for the 2016-2017 School Year. Please se the Serendipity Handbook for more information regarding pricing and rates for the 16-17 school year.

Hot lunch Program
Dear Families,
This year we will be changing programs for Hot Lunch. Due to a change in the terms of the contract provided to us by Antioch Unified, the Diocese of Oakland was unable to secure insurance. As a result we had to look at new vendors. We have decided to contract with Choicelunch. Although the price of the lunches are more, I think you will be happy with the quality of food. Please read the welcome letter provided.
This
also impacts our Free and Reduced program that was supplied through Antioch Unified. At this time we are working on the application of the Free and Reduced program and hope to begin this as soon as possible. Until we can get approval from the State, we will be unable to offer Free and Reduced meals. I apologize for the inconvenience and will try to rectify this as soon as possible.
