OUR MISSION:

Dear SRS Parents and Guardians,
I hope you all had the opportunity to read the letter from our Catholic Schools superintendent, Valerie Mara, sent out yesterday regarding the mask mandate becoming optional starting Monday, February 28, 2022. Going home with your child today is a permission form that I ask you to sign indicating your preference for your child. No child will be allowed to go unmasked at St. Rita School unless we have your written permission. Please return the form to your child’s teacher by Wednesday, February 23. As of today we have 100% of our faculty vaccinated and about 50% of our students. If your child is fully vaccinated please be sure Mrs. Palma, our nurse, has the vaccination record.
Beginning this Friday, students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade will be attending Mass at 9:00 every Friday for the remainder of the school year. Each week a different class will serve as lectors for the Mass. We are so fortunate that our Pastor, Fr. Tiano has made the school students’ faith formation a priority when establishing a daily Mass schedule for Pope Paul VI Parish. Please join us if you can.
Since the students will be attending Mass every Friday we have changed the date of the NUT Coupons. The NUT coupon days are now: Thursday, February 10; Thursday, March 10 ; Thursday, April 7 and Thursday, May 19. If you have not already signed your child up for the NUT Coupons but would like him/her to participate, please send $20 cash to the school office tomorrow. Please mark your envelope attention H.S.A. Nut Coupons
Every year at this time, our school finance committee begins planning for the upcoming school year. In order to determine staffing for the upcoming year, it is important to know the number of students who will be returning for the 2022-2023 school year. If you have not yet completed the survey please take a few minutes to complete it HERE to let us know your intention. We expect re-registration to begin sometime in March once tuition rates have been set. New enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year is currently open. If you know of anyone who is interested in learning more about our wonderful school, please have them contact Mrs. Bruno, our Admissions Director.
Thank you for entrusting your child/ren to our care. Happy Super Bowl Sunday and Happy Valentine’s Day as well!
God Bless,
Mrs. Tiezzi
