With the onset of this stormy weather I want to assure you that we will do our best to notify you in a timely manner if it becomes necessary to cancel a school day due to flooding or other weather emergency. It is our general policy to remain open as long as the St. Rose campus is safe for students to be present. Furthermore, there would have to be very serious conditions to cause us to close early. Because our families travel to school from a variety of areas around the county it is up to each parent to judge whether or not to travel on roads that are prone to flooding. Parents should feel free to pick up their children early or keep them home anytime they feel safety may be an issue. You can always bring your child to school later once conditions improve.

We use the text message function on MSP to keep you apprised of school closures and other important notices. Early this morning we became aware that Old Redwood Highway just south of our campus was flooded and sent a text message to families at 6:49 AM to advise everyone to access Old Redwood Highway via Mark West Road. If you did not get this text, please contact KC in the school office as it is important that every family receive these important notices.

 

Our Crab Feed last weekend was a huge success and one more source of pride for a very grateful principal. The sold-out event was such fun and raised a lot of money for our school. I so appreciate Lisa Piehl, our event chairperson, and all of her helpers for their creativity and hard work that resulted in a fantastic evening. I also want to thank all who attended, generously bid on items, and those of you who helped your children sell raffle tickets. Stay tuned for more information from Lisa on prizewinners and the final fundraising tally.
