Dear St. Rose School Community,
Thirteen years ago, I joined the St. Rose community as a new college graduate looking for a few years of experience in a small Catholic school. I quickly became fully invested in the school, parish and students and I cannot imagine working anywhere else.
St. Rose has become my home. It is the place where I enjoy watching students grow and thrive from pre-K until they graduate 8th grade. It is the place where my family and I have the opportunity to grow and share our faith in a variety of ways. It is the place where I have learned to provide students a positive learning environment, to cultivate leaders, to foster partnerships with parents, and to be an example of God’s love for others. It is now the place that I am honored to have an opportunity to serve as principal.
In my time at St. Rose, I have witnessed a community of committed parents, staff, and parishioners who support our young learners. I have been humbled by the tireless efforts of the St. Rose staff to provide quality learning experiences for all students. In the last few years, we have made great strides in our reading and math interventions and our use of data to drive our curriculum. Our preschool program is growing, which indicates a bright future ahead. I am so eager to continue on the path of excellence with you.
Among the goals I have for our school is to continue to build a positive learning environment that meets the needs of all learners. One of my passions as an educator is building strong relationships between parents, teachers, administration and the parish. Having a concrete foundation of clear and effective communication will allow us all to contribute to the quality education of our future leaders and world changers.
I am overjoyed to be taking on this position and look forward to working with you to continue to make St. Rose a home for us all. I am truly grateful for this opportunity to serve you and your family.
With gratitude,
Kristin Silva
