TEACHER IN-SERVICE

Dear St. Rose Parents,

I am excited to inform you that Tami Loughner, the preschool director, and I have hired two new full-time teachers and one part-time teacher for the preschool. All the new teachers are experienced teachers in preschool or kindergarten.   They are a perfect fit; you will hear more about them in the coming weeks. I am thrilled that we now have a very secure ratio of teachers to students. 

The diocese has adjusted its guidelines for field trips around the number of adults per vehicle and the ratio of chaperones to students. You can click on the link below to view these guidelines.

Only teachers plan field trips that are based on their curriculum, as well as arrange for all the transportation. Field trips are always at the discretion of the teacher. Not all teachers chose to have their class go on a field trip. I leave that decision up to the individual teachers.

I am very grateful to the Parent Association and the room parents for taking on the considerable task of Halloween’s Trunk or Treat. I know how much work all the parents have put in to make it a special day for all the children. I appreciate all their time, effort, and donations. It should be a fun time for all.

Blessings,

Kathleen

COLD & FLU SEASON

The past several days we've had 30-40 students out daily due to illness.  

It is important that if your child has any cold or flu symptoms, please keep them home. If symptoms become severe, please consult your physician, as there is a trifecta of viruses going around; Flu, COVID, RSV and other respiratory illnesses.

Though the flu season is here, testing to rule out COVID should be done before your child returns to school.  It is best to test 3-5 days into illness. 

Any child with cold or flu symptoms should test negative for COVID before returning to school.

COVID test kits are being sent home this week for students and staff. Please feel free to request additional test kits if needed. We are happy to send some home to your family.

We appreciate everyone's diligence in keeping students and staff healthy and safe.

DRESS CODE INFRACTIONS

UNIFORM REMINDER

Beginning 2023-24, the crew neck sweatshirt will only be allowed on P.E. days. The long sleeve V-neck sweater is the replacement piece, and should be considered for both boys & girls on a daily basis for warmth, especially if your child likes the comfort of a sweatshirt. The long sleeve sweater along with the fleece logo jacket (or the girls cardigan) should provide plenty of warmth for students in the classroom. For additional warmth, a short sleeve WHITE undershirt / garment may be worn under polo shirt. Long sleeve under garments are not permitted.
