Ash Wednesday
March 2, 2022
|
|
Lent begins today, March 2nd
Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation
before the celebrations of Easter. Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on
Holy Thursday, April 14th.
Lent is the season of the church year that follows the Epiphany Season. It is a time we set aside each year to remember the love of God that is poured out through Christ Jesus on the cross in His death; and His defeat of death, sin and Satan in Christ's death and resurrection that brings Eternal Life to you.

MASK MANDATE
The CDPH has proposed relaxing the indoor mask mandate for K-12 schools.
Sonoma County Public Health notified schools today they have not yet aligned with the CDPH, but are currently discussing with the Sonoma County Office of Education and school leaders as to the direction Sonoma County will go and we expect an update soon. Until we receive guidance from SCPH, we will continue to mask indoors.
St. Rose COVID policies for illness remain in place, following current SCPH guidance, which includes COVID testing if a student has symptoms on the COVID checklist.
The school will continue to follow current and updated health department guidance. COVID testing for student athletes will remain in place until the end of their season.

Message from our Principal |
|
Dear St. Rose Parents,
Lent has begun, and my prayer for all of us during this time of penance and contemplation is that we find our inner peace and harmony to share with others. Let us remember the sufferings of Christ for our sins so that we can offer ourselves to others as we continue to grow in the spirit of kindness and love.
We have many exciting things to look forward to; a Mother Son Bowling Event, the Father Daughter Dinner Dance, Walkathon, Family Mass and Barbeque, and Track & Field Day. The Parent Association is working on offering a Pizza Hot Lunch twice a month, details hopefully coming soon.
We are updating the uniform dress code for next school year, making some adjustments (nothing drastic), and will be adding back a P.E. uniform. We know that it can be hard to find only black and white shoes, so we have added grey to the color options.
Another wonderful thing for us all to take great joy in is that we had our third-year accreditation visit this Monday. The faculty and I have been preparing diligently for this visit since September. We worked as a solid and committed team to reach the goals that were expected of us. The team of two principals and a WCEA representative from the Sacramento Diocese deemed our work excellent and had nothing but fabulous things to say about our school, the students, and families. I am grateful for all the support from you and your beautiful children. They were very impressed with how attentive and kind the students were towards them and each other.
Today’s Ash Wednesday Mass was very solemn and holy. It was so sacred and lovely to see the Fourth-Grade bell ringers and choir play and sing alongside Father Chris and Mrs. Szczech as they gave out ashes. I am always filled with joy over the accomplishments of the students.
As spring comes forth I look forward to the normalcy of St. Rose returning.
Blessings,
Kathleen

REMINDERS / CLICKS and LINKS |
|
VOLUNTEER VACCINATION STATUS - At this time and until further notice, below is the policy that St. Rose will be following for volunteers.
As volunteer opportunities resume, volunteers will need to provide proof of being fully UPDATED for COVID-19 vaccination, which means completed primary series of vaccination and have received the Booster if booster eligible. Compliant volunteers should provide a photo copy of their vaccination card to the school office to keep on file. Just as we keep information on file for all compliant volunteers and drivers for field trips, this info will be kept secure and confidential.
Volunteers who are not vaccinated for COVID-19 or not fully updated with the booster, will be required to provide a negative COVID test within 24 hours of the event. The volunteer is responsible for getting tested.
|

VOLUNTEER COMPLIANCE
MANY of our parent volunteers were placed on the inactive list due to their expired status. All volunteers are cleared by Ms. KC in the school office. If you need to check on your status to determine what you need to do to get compliant, please send her an email: k_paul@sonic.net
The Diocese audits all schools twice a year for employee and volunteer Safe Environment compliance. We are required to document all our registered volunteers and explain their status. After 6 months of inactive or expired status, we are required to archive those who are noncompliant.
NEW VOLUNTEERS: It can take up to 2 weeks to get compliant and cleared. Don't delay in starting the process. Click on link at the bottom of this newsletter for more information and direction.
2020 was a re-certification year for ALL volunteers and employees.
If you need to get compliant, please call Ms. KC in the school office or email her at: k_paul@sonic.net
