This weekend the St. Roch Stars will shine in " The 2021 Miss Hillbillian Beauty Pageant." Our 8th grade class has been working very hard to get their production ready to go. This year we will have to limit seating for the show to our 8th Grade families. We will be recording the show, and our students will be able to watch the recording during their lunch next week.
I am so proud of how the Class of 2021 has faced the adversity of this school year. Nothing has looked normal, and they have kept positive attitudes and smiles on their faces. A big thank you to our director, Mr. G. He works a lot of hours and does a fantastic job. Good luck to all as they perform this weekend. Break a leg!

Dress Code Addition for 2021-2022 School Year |
|
For the 2021-2022 school year, we will be adding a navy blue pants/shorts/skorts option, and a grey shirt option. Students may also continue to wear khaki bottoms with navy blue shirts.
We do ask that if they choose to wear navy blue pants, they wear a grey shirt instead of a navy shirt. When they wear khaki pants, a grey or navy shirt is acceptable.
We will have uniform shirts with the St. Roch logo available for sale. Shirts DO NOT have to be purchased from the school. It will just be an option if you would like. Stay tuned for more details. We will open the store this summer so that you can have items for the start of the school year.
|
|
Each month, on the 1st Tuesday, we have an early dismissal for teacher professional development. We need to switch the May early dismissal to Tuesday, May 11th. It was originally scheduled for May 4th.
Thank you for your flexibility!
