Dear SRS Parents and Guardians,
This Friday, June 10, we will be taking a school-wide field trip (grades K-7) to Camp Mt. Laurel in Hamden. The pool will be open, so if you do not want your child to swim please do not send them with a bathing suit. Certified life guards will be on duty. Students will participate in many other activities such as archery, scavenger hunt, rock wall/challenge course, arts and crafts, field games, human foosball, gaga ball and hiking. Please have your child dress appropriately for the weather with proper footwear, sun glasses, swim suit and towel. Sunscreen and bug spray should be applied before your child arrives at school. Lunch, snacks and drinks will be provided. Please have your child bring a water bottle and please label their personal items. The Y staff will conduct all the activities and the St. Rita teachers and staff members will serve as chaperones.
Please be reminded that next week (June 13-15) we have three early dismissal days. School will dismiss at 12:00, there will be NO lunch or aftercare. Report cards will be sent home on the last day of school along with the IOWA test results for students in grades 3-7. Should parents have any questions about their child’s report card or the IOWA test results you may contact the teachers either Thursday or Friday of next week. Report cards will be mailed to those students who are not in school on Wednesday. Those students who have outstanding balances for tuition, BC/AC, lunch, library, or technology will not receive a report card until the outstanding balance is paid in full.
We are still accepting applications for our upcoming summer fun camp for students entering kindergarten through grade 5. If you are interested in having your child attend, please register before school ends. Space is limited to 30 students per session. Please use this link https://www.srsathletics.com/ to register.
