A Note from Mrs. Ryan    
Dear Parents,

All of us who work at St. Rose realize that your children's safety while they are at school is a top concern for you. Our students do regular drills for fire, earthquake and lock-downs. One of our best assets, when it comes to safety, is the ability of St. Rose students to listen and follow directions. Fire and law enforcement officials always give us high marks in this area.
 
As we have rebuilt and enhanced our campus over the past year we have also added a number of safety features. They include:
  • New fencing behind the gym and a new key-pad gate which will be installed soon in order to limit access from the entrance near the fenced play yard. Because exterior classroom doors are kept locked during the day, the addition of this fencing and gate helps to ensure that our campus is inaccessible to people who don't belong here.
  • The camera surveillance system has been enhanced so that all areas of the grade school and preschool are covered.
  • Two sets of panic buttons have been added at opposite ends of the school which enable any staff member to alert our security company and law enforcement that there is an emergency.  
  • All classroom doors can be locked from the inside and the windows of classroom doors have opaque lock-down shades.
Law enforcement agencies are constantly honing their skills and developing new methods to keep school children safe.  St. Rose teachers and staff members have been trained in the recommended Run, Hide, Fight protocol and we are committed to keeping our safety procedures up to date. I hope this information adds to your peace of mind as you entrust your precious children to us each day.

Kathy Ryan
Principal
St. Rose School

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Coming Soon - New Ordering process for School Uniforms
Parents will now place all uniform orders online.  Our uniform supplier, Sonoma Design, will be launching an online store just for St. Rose.  The next ordering opportunity will begin before the end of the school year, for August delivery.

The school will continue to keep a range of sample sizes for those who need to determine sizing, and we'll keep a small inventory of items to fill emergency orders when the store is closed. (The store ordering 'windows' will occur several times throughout the year. That schedule will be posted once determined.

St. Rose will hold a TRY ON date where parents can bring students to try on samples to determine sizing before placing orders. That date will be sometime in June.     Check back later for all the info!
Parking Lot Safety
Safety First depends on your cooperation!
Please remember, and tell all those in your family who drive onto our campus, to please drive safely!

Some important safety reminders:
  1. Be patient. Drive slow. Be kind. Do not impede traffic flow or others.
  2. If your child goes to tutorial, do not get in the pick up line before 3:10 pm. Do not sit in the traffic circle waiting. Circle around back in line to keep traffic flow moving.
  3. DO NOT leave your car unattended in the traffic circle during drop off or pick up. Stay in your car and move as soon as your child gets in or out. If you have office business, please park in a designated parking spot.
  4. Morning drop off: everyone is in a hurry it seems to get to where they need to go. Please do not speed through campus. Do not pass unlawfully or unsafely. Be patient. Plan accordingly.
  5. If a staff member asks you to move your car or to park, they are doing what is in the best interests of everyone and to keep traffic moving. Please be respectful and do what they ask of you.
We thank you for your cooperation and appreciate your partnership in keeping everyone safe out there!
