PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE WEEK

FOOD DRIVE NEXT WEEK

SPIRIT WEEK - see details below

Dear St. Rose Parents,

Another exciting week at St. Rose. The Snack Shack put on by the Student Council was a huge success. It was well organized and ran smoothly and efficiently. The food was delicious. The entire student body enjoyed the snacks. I am grateful to the Student Council and their mentors, Mrs. Bertero, Miss Ciceley, the Student Council parent and her helpers who made this day a great success. The leadership skills of the students are growing by leaps and bounds.

Junior High had its first dance last Friday, which was loads of fun for the students. It has been so long since we’ve had a dance that it took a while for us to figure out what to do. But we did. The snacks were delicious; the music was fabulous. The DJ we inquired about was cost-prohibitive, so Ms. Celeste made a fantastic playlist on her phone, and we broadcast it on our excellent sound system. She’s now our official DJ! I am grateful to Mrs. B, Miss Ciceley, and Miss Celeste for setting the environment and snacks up and chaperoning. We had fabulous parents who generously gave their time to chaperone, run the snack booth and clean up. They were truly there for their kids.

The parents had a great time socializing and making ornaments for St. Nicholas last night. This is another example of parents supporting their children and St. Rose and having a great, fun evening. How lovely.

Blessings to you all,

Blessings,

Kathleen

COLD & FLU SEASON

This past week we had 58-60 students out with illness daily, and now unfortunately illness is affecting staff. Some classes have had 10-15 students out at once. We continue to send sick children home every day.  Hopefully this will slow down soon. We appreciate everyone working together to keep sick kids at home.

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 WERE sent home last week to 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.

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.
