Dear Saint Rose Families,

What a start to the second semester! Rain, snow, ice, fog! Please see our snow day/blizzard bag policy. Hopefully Mother Nature will moderate a bit in the coming days and we have some normal winter weather. 

Next week is Catholic Schools Week. This week is celebrated by Catholic Schools all over the country. The purpose is to celebrate the unique nature of Catholic Schools as demonstrated by faith, service and academics. There are a lot of great activities next week for our students to grow in all of these areas. Please see the full agenda HERE. 

I hope to see you all at our Open House this Sunday, from 1-3 pm. Come and see what your children are doing in the classroom. Take some time to visit the next grade, meet the teachers and see what lies ahead!

Sincerely,

Dr. Bryon Borgelt

Academic Assistance Program

St. Elizabeth Academic Assistance Program or A2 provides free academic assistance to any Saint Rose student in grades 4-8 and meets on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 until 4:45 in the school library.

Saint Rose intervention specialists, Mrs. Barbara Houck and Mrs. Jody Ward will run the program.

A2 is for students of all academic levels. Students must bring their books and supplies with them and be prepared to learn and work. 

OPEN HOUSE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!

ATTENTION Middle School Families (Grades 6-8)

Our students are our best advocates. Every year Saint Rose Middle School students serve as tour guides during the Open House. This is great service to our school. 

The student volunteers can earn service hours plus an Alternate Dress Pass!  

Parent Volunteers Needed:

Pirates Parents Club is looking for volunteers to help staff the PPC activities in the cafeteria during Open House! We understand that you have children you want to experience Open House with, so we are only asking for 30 min of your time to help pass out refreshments, support our used uniform sale and assist with the photo op area. 

Thank you for support, the Pirates Parent's Club!
