St. Rose Report

“Remember the past with gratitude. Live the present with enthusiasm. Look forward to the future with confidence.”

–St. John Paul II

Reminders for this week:

Can you help with tootsie roll sales this Sunday? We still have one unfilled slot and a few of our brave students are all alone for their slot. Service is so much more fun with a friend. Sign up below if you can help.

Conference are coming up! We will send home conference forms on Monday. Please check your child's backpack and return your conference form by Wednesday so you are better able to get your prefered conference time!

Cookbook recipes are also due on Tuesday of this week. Please turn those into the office so the PTO team can begin working on the St. Rose cookbook.

School Pictures are on Thursday, October 17th. Check your child's backpack for picture forms and make sure those are returned on Thursday with payment. Fall school pictures are in school uniform. We are looking into spring pictures that might give students the opportunity for free dress pictures. We will let you know about the final details for that opportunity next month.

Math Pack will begin again on Monday. Our math team will be open for students in grades 5 - 8 starting at 7:30 in the middle school math room. This morning program will be held daily and is for math enrichment and support. Additionally, we have a new student teacher, Mr. Bethea, who will be leading the students in afternoon math enrichment and support. The afternoon classes will be to support our 6-8 grade students.

We will be selling wreaths and poinsettias this year. Information about our holiday wreath and poinsettia sells will be going out soon.

The K n i g h t s Color Run

Bring in those donations!

Goal: $12,000

We only need $500 more to meet our goal. Can you help?

The whole school will earn a free dress pass if we can meet our goal!

Carline Safety Reminders

Pick up at the end of the day is still a point of concern for our teachers, administrators, and safety committee. If you arrive at the school for pick-up and are the first person in line, please feel empowered to open the gate to our pick-up zone anytime within 20 minutes prior to scheduled pick-up. It is safe for you to do this and it helps increase the efficiency of pick-up for everyone.

Please remember that K-4 is technically released at 2:55 p.m. (1:55 on Wednesdays) and 5-8 at 3:05 p.m. (2:05 on Wednesdays). Please try to arrive at school as close to your child's release time as you can. Arriving too soon tends to impact the ability for the pick-up line to move quickly. If you have a student who is slow to get organized at the end of the day, we encourage you to park and walk into the building to pick them up. This will help to make the pick-up line move more quickly as well.

Additionally, please don't park your car in front of the parking lot entry gates. Even if you are only running in for a minute to pick up your preschooler or older student. Parking in front of the gate can cause a problem if emergency vehicles need access to the building. Please park in the parish parking lot or on the street according to the street parking signs.

Cars should also only enter the parking lot when going southwest on 26th so that the turn lane can be used. Making a right hand turn into the school parking lot from 26th Ave can block the view for vehicles who are passing through crosswalk as they are heading toward Nichols. Rather than taking a right turn into the school parking lot, please drive past the school and take a left into the parish parking lot. You can use the parish parking lot to turn around and get in the left hand turn lane to enter the school parking lot.

Thank you for helping to keep the kids safe as we try to get them organized and on their way home at the end of each day.
