Dear Saint Rose Families,

Thank you to the Saint Rose School Advisory Council for organizing and distributing the school parent survey this year. Thank you to all of our parents that took the time to complete this survey. Your input provided a reassuring statement on the strengths of the school as well as some areas of focus for our continued improvement. Saint Rose is an excellent school and we know that growth and a willingness to improve are fundamental to our success.

Two years ago the SAC, faculty, and our parents finalized extensive surveys, meetings and analysis to formulate our strategic plan. We are in the second year of implementing this plan. While the challenges of the pandemic necessitate that some components of our plan are not possible, much of the plan is continuing.

Our strategic plan focuses on: Community, Enrollment, Facility and Financial Planning, Faculty, Catholic Identity and Academic Excellence.

Developing a Growth Mindset is the goal of the Academic Excellence component. Teachers are using the Growing Early Mindsets and the Brainology program to help foster a growth mindset. Saint Rose purchased Exact Path, a digital platform that creates a learning profile for each student based on his/her MAP results and teacher input. The teachers furthered their professional development in Exact Path just last Friday. Students are working on their Exact Paths each week either in the classroom or at home. Students will also write SMART goals based on their winter MAP testing data.

Our Catholic Identity goal focuses on increasing student knowledge and application of the Catholic Social Teaching of Life and Dignity of the human person. Saint Rose adopted the Be Kind First program. Mrs. DiFeterici works with our students each month and we highlight a student from each class that exemplifies components of the Be Kind theme of the month. Some components of the plan are not possible at this time, such as the middle school leadership team. This is a team of middle school students who work to help younger students resolve problems in a positive manner. We plan to return to this plan next year when students are hopefully able to interact across grade levels.

The Facility and Financial Planning goal seeks to provide the necessary infrastructure and financial support for our school with a more involved alumni, marketing plan and planned giving. While Saint Rose faced an initial downturn in enrollment due to the pandemic, enrollment is now on the upswing. The preschool is currently full for 2021/22 and families that looked at other options for this year are returning. Contributions towards the air purification system exceeded expectations.

The Community goal aims to strengthen the relationship between the parish and school primarily through service opportunities. The first such event was scheduled to take place last spring, but has been delayed due to quarantine guidelines. Plans are underway to establish yearly service projects in the future. The plan also calls for a sustainable leadership model for Pirates Parents Club. The model is underway and working well. Finally, there is a call for more parent education meetings. The most recent example of this was the families and social media presentation from Dr. Burrow. Plans for parent education events for this year are on hold but we hope that such opportunities will continue next year.

Finally the faculty component calls for improved communication and the continuation of professional and faith development opportunities. Prior to the COVID restrictions, a committee dedicated to improved communications met monthly. Professional development has continued this year as time and resources were dedicated to the implementation of Exact Path.

Saint Rose School has much to celebrate despite the challenges of the past 12 months. Our faculty, parents and parish worked together to make sure that in-person learning was sustainable and safe for our entire community. We have made strides towards the strategic plan despite the limitations of COVID. Our students continue to make faith, academic and social strides as they grow within our community. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Dr. Borgelt
