Message from the Principal |
|
Dear St. Rose Parents,
How wonderful to hear that both the Father-Daughter Dance and the Mother-Son Bowling were tremendous successes all the way around. The attendance was excellent, and it seemed like everyone had a memorable and fun time. I am so thankful to the chairpersons and their committee of people who put all of this together to make it such a wonderful experience for all.
I hope you will join me in keeping the Second-Grade students and their parents in your prayers as they make their First Holy Communion this weekend. Mrs. Swenson-Aguirre has worked tirelessly all year to prepare them for this sacred sacrament, including turning the Second-Grade classroom into St. Rose Church with an altar and the illusion of pews. She, Mrs. Verse, and Mrs. Kemper have focused on the solemnity and sacredness of the Eucharist through their loving example and guidance.
The love that these three women have shown the students in this process truly exemplifies the sacrifice and love of our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father. I am confident that all of the students are well prepared to receive the Body of Christ, and I am thrilled that they will receive this vital sacrament of initiation this weekend. They have changed and grown in the love of our Lord this year. Let us all be grateful for the gift of these precious children.
God’s Blessings to you all.
Kathleen Aymar

COVID CASES at school on the rise again
We are seeing a spike in COVID positive cases on campus again among students, mostly in the upper grades at this time. We have only been notifying the classes impacted, but if cases continue to increase, we may resume notifying all families again via text messaging.
If you receive a text message regarding an exposure in your child's class, following the Group Tracing Approach, we ask that all students get tested following the timeline you receive, regardless of vaccination status. Current students who are testing positive are both vaccinated and unvaccinated, and some have tested positive for COVID previously. Per SCPH, the new variant is taking up to 10 days after exposure to show up positive. COVID continues to be prevalent in our community, and can have a devastating effect on those with compromised health or the unvaccinated.
Sonoma County Public Health has issued 'best practices' for COVID outbreaks in K-12 school settings, and continue to strongly recommend masking indoors and testing after exposure, regardless of vaccination status.
PLEASE, review the school illness policy posted at the
bottom of this newsletter.

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 VACCINATION STATUS
The CDPH issued a 'HEALTH ORDER' on 8/11/21, which requires all K-12 schools, public and private, to verify vaccination status of all workers. This health order is still in effect. Sonoma County also has a Health Order, C-19-38, issued on 3/14/22 which requires all K-12 public and private schools in Sonoma County to continue to comply with CDPH's Order for Vaccine Verification for workers, as well as any applicable Cal/OSH COVID-19 Emergency Standards.
The Health Order defines "worker" as all paid and unpaid adults serving in school settings, Workers include, but are not limited to, certified and classified staff, analogous staff working in private school settings, and volunteers who are on-site at a school campus supporting functions.
Workers who are not fully vaccinated, or for whom vaccine status is unknown or documentation is not provided, must be considered unvaccinated. Unvaccinated workers, in this case referring to volunteers, must provide a negative COVID test up to 24 hours prior to volunteering on our campus.
Parents who are fully vaccinated, if you have not already provided us with your vaccine documentation, please do so as soon as possible if you wish to volunteer. It will save us a step later in the process if we have the info on file. Those volunteers who decline to provide documentation or who have not received the full series of vaccination, will need to provide a negative COVID test result the day of any volunteer activity (up to 24 hours in advance).
