Message from the Principal
Dear St. Rose Parents,

It was lovely to see so many parents and families at the Walkathon on Monday. The weather was perfect, and the kids had a blast. I am so thankful to Richie Smith and his team of volunteers for making it a success. Richie was brave enough to take this on as a first-time chairperson for the event, and he managed it like a seasoned pro. The parents who offered their help as volunteers were stellar. I am very appreciative of all those involved.
 
Many parents visited the classrooms Monday during our informal open house. It was such a treat to see those parents and students who were able to come. It was fun to chat with them and show them what the students and teachers have accomplished. At our faculty meeting on Monday, the teachers expressed how happy they were to see all the parents in the classroom and at the walkathon.
Spirit Week has been very spirited. The student council has done an excellent job planning the different days of the week. The students and staff have enjoyed it, as I am sure you can see at drop-off with all the dancing going on. I am thankful for all the hard work they have put into it.

This Friday, we will be having an outdoor Mass prepared by the Second Grade. This will be the first time they will be receiving Communion with the entire school. Mass will be at 9:30 on the blacktop. We will have chairs set up for visitors positioned in front of the Science Lab.

May God’s love surround you.
 
Kathleen Aymar

Take the hassle out of the equation, and order your child's box today. 22-23 Class lists have already been sent to 1st Day School Supplies. Boxes are delivered directly to the school in August, ready for your child's first day of school. All you have to do is place an order!
ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY MAY 31st.
2022-23 STUDENT SUPPLY LISTS

Colds, Flu, Allergies and COVID
COVID UPDATE - to keep you all informed
Since FRI, 5/6, (12 days) there have been over 70 COVID positive cases in students and staff reported at St. Rose School. Though the flood of cases we saw the weekend for 5/6-5/8 has subsided, every day since has been 1-3 new cases reported.

SCPH continues to monitor our situation and strongly recommend masking indoors. In addition, if you are notified that your child has been exposed, it is best to get a diagnostic test (PCR) instead of a home antigen test. The home antigen is not catching the current variant in it's early stages, giving false negatives, when people are really positive.
SCHOOL ILLNESS POLICY
Students should never be sent to school if they are not feeling well, or if they have symptoms of illness.

Allergy medication should be given prior to coming to school to have the best impact on your child. The school will not dispense allergy medication to students.
PLEASE REFER TO THE PARENT / STUDENT HANDBOOK for school policy regarding Student Illnesses. (pg. 8-10) See Handbook link at the bottom of this newsletter.
Students who have symptoms of a cold must provide the school with a negative COVID test before they can return.
VOLUNTEER COMPLIANCE
Previously complaint volunteers who have not updated the 2020 Safe Environment course, please contact Ms. KC asap for your CMG account login information so you can complete the required course. k_paul@sonic.net
