"Living Fearlessly Through Faith..."
Message From The Principal
Dear St. Jerome Family,

I would like to thank all of you for all you are doing to support your children with distance learning during these times! You are doing great! It is a tough job to be caring for them as parents/guardians, teaching them, managing your own jobs, and everything else that could be impacting your family during this time. We know you are doing your best every day. Anything you are able to do to support your child’s learning and well-being is exactly what they need right now. Be sure to also take some time to play and do things as a family. With that, the SJRS Staff wanted to send a special video message to each of you! We shared it on Facebook, but for those of you who did not get to view it, please click here .

Please continue to check your email and google classrooms weekly for lesson plans from your child’s teacher. Reach out to any of the staff members with questions you may have so we can support you and your child(ren). I hope you all continue to be healthy and safe. We miss you all!
