Dear St. Rose School Families and Faculty,
We hope you are having a restful weekend, safe at home with your loved ones. As difficult as this situation is for everyone, there are silver linings. It is a time to step back and re-focus on what is truly important and on top of that list is family.
As promised,
school will be open tomorrow, March 16th, 10 a.m. - noon for parents only to retrieve any necessary items from your child's desk or locker. If you plan to come, please send the teacher an email and do so within these 2 designated hours. If you have any questionable symptoms we ask that you send someone in your place. Thank you.
If your child needs a device such as an Ipad or Chromebook please contact me directly, principal@srles.com. If you have any questions about lessons please email teachers. We are asking that students stay on task and complete assignments daily however there is no set time frame for submission. We realize that there are a variety of schedules involved in every household and as such understand that it is difficult to set one submission time for all. If your child needs more than a day to complete an assignment please speak with their teacher. Thank you.
There is no doubt that we will all miss the dynamic of the bustling halls and vibrant classrooms. Remember that we are all only an email, phone call or Face Time away. Attached is a message I have recorded for the students. We will be sure to send more of these during the days ahead. And, please continue to send photos and updates from your home work stations. We are all in this together!
In keeping with the current precautions, the 8th Grade Rib Rally Fundraiser is on hold. It is our hope to reschedule it at a later date. If you placed an order please know that we will honor it either on the new date, or if it is cancelled completely we will be sure to get you a refund. Thank you for supporting our 8th graders.
I will sign off now with prayers and wishes for your family's health and peace of mind during this uncertain time. We have a solid plan in place and I am confident that working together we will come through this victoriously. As St. Augustine said, let us "pray as if everything depended on God and work as if everything depended on us."
Thank You and God Bless,
