Welcome Back to School, Ravens!

We're so excited to have everyone back at SRLA! Teachers and staff have been busy preparing to kick off the year, and the school building has gotten some upgrades this summer. Classrooms have been refreshed, windows throughout the building have been outfitted with safety blinds, and additional air conditioning and ventilation units are already being put to good use. Here's to a great start to the new school year!

Congratulations, Sr. Sandy!

Today's first Mass of the school year celebrated the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and also just happens to mark 50 years since our own Sr. Sandy entered the convent. Fr. Larry, Mrs. Underwood, teachers, and students surprised her with 50 roses to honor the momentous occasion!

SRLA is blessed to have you, Sr. Sandy, and we are grateful for your enthusiastic love for our students! Congratulations!

"Shop" the SRLA Uniform Closet

The SRLA Uniform Closet is open! If you missed your chance to shop at our Uniform Shop & Drop this summer, there's still plenty of great apparel for the taking, for free! Simply stop by the uniform closet located in the front room of the teachers lounge on the first floor. Drop off your gently used uniforms while you're at it!

And check out this guide from FlynnO'Hara to make sure you have everything you need!

Take Care in the Car Line

Parents, please be sure to follow pick-up procedures as outlined in the car line diagram. Help us ensure smooth dismissal to keep our students safe!

Clear the List for SRLA's Teachers

Our vibrant SRLA community has always shown incredible support for our school and teachers, and we're delighted to launch Clear the List this year, a nationwide movement to help teachers by purchasing supplies from their wish lists. Some SRLA teachers created wish lists for a variety of items to enhance the learning experience for our students during the school year.

Just click a teacher's name below to access their Amazon Wish List, and please remember to have items shipped to school addressed with the teacher's name (52 Short Hills Ave., Short Hills, NJ 07078).

Thank you in advance for your generosity in support of our remarkable educators!
