Facebook

Join other parents on the SRS Parents FB Page! The purpose of this Facebook page is to provide an online “bulletin board” for parents and guardians of children attending Saint Rose of Lima School in Newtown, CT. This site is created and maintained by school parents, not school administration, so please do not expect the school staff to be aware of the content of this site.

The HSA looks forward to our continued partnership in support of SRS. We welcome suggestions and ideas Please always feel free to email us at hsa@srles.com.

Your HSA Board,
