What a beautiful morning to meet at the picnic tables and enjoy a cup of joe, thanks to our wonderful HSA leaders.
St. Rose is truly blessed to have such incredible, caring parents. It was so wonderful to be able to chat with many of you. Together we will have an outstanding school year.
Best,
Principal Underwood

New Afternoon Car Line Procedure
We have implemented a slight change to our car line procedure to facilitate a smoother pick-up of children at dismissal.
Forming a line in the front lot PRIOR to the arrival of the children will help ease parking lot congestion and move the process along more quickly.
Parent volunteers will be on hand to assist.
Upon arriving for pickup, please make sure to form 3 lines in the back lot.
When instructed by a parent volunteer, the first wave of cars will pull forward into the front lot (prior to school dismissal) to await the students. Cars in the front lot will remain stationary upon dismissal. There is to be no movement until the students are safely in their cars.
Once this line is complete, the remaining cars will form 3 pickup lines as usual and await instruction by Mr. Miller to pull forward and proceed as usual.
The SRLA Directory is available on the DirectorySpot app. Families have been set up as users, and the app can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play, or you can access it from the web. Learn more about how to get started.
