Welcome back to school from the SRLA HSA!  

We are ready for another wonderful year at St. Rose of Lima Academy! 

The SRLA HSA, or Home School Association, is our school's liaison between school and home. We are a group of volunteer parents who work together to raise necessary funds for our operating budget, make improvements to our school, and bring in wonderful cultural programs for our children and their continued education.

Below is our "Mandatory HSA Sign Up" that each family agreed to participate in when they registered at SRLA. This signup breaks down the different volunteer opportunities at SRLA so parents can choose where they prefer to participate, or what works best with their schedule. 

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4BA5AF2DA4F5C07-hsamandatory

Please sign up (each parent/guardian) for whichever fundraising or volunteering event you'd like to be involved in for the 2022-23 school year. It's that simple! And, don't worry, all events are supported by the HSA so we will be there every step of the way!

Keep in mind, there will be additional events to support that come up throughout the year: 8th grade fundraising, class events, Christmas gift giving, Wish Upon a Star, just to name a few. This signup is simply a baseline for volunteering. 

Please PICK A SLOT by November 1,2022. Volunteer hours will be assessed at the end of the year and fees will be assessed at that time. If you would like to opt out for the year, a $350 fee will be charged to your Blackbaud account.

Please note: Class Parents & Advisory Board members are not required to sign up (but please do, if you'd like!)

Already volunteering for something you don't see here? Just email Jess or Aveen, HSA Presidents at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

THANK YOU!

Do NOT to park in a spot with a number on it. 

The parish is renting out parking spaces to any commuter or student that needs them in the back section of the parking lot. The 50 spots have specific numbers that will correspond to the placard individuals will receive once they purchase a spot.

These designated spots are not available for parents to park at any time unless they are renting the spot.

Are you looking for a long-term car parking space in Short Hills?

Starting Tuesday, Sept. 6th, St. Rose of Lima has a number of spots available to rent in our private BACK parking lot. Parking agreements will be available per school semester or semi-annual for commuters as follows:

• Commuter spaces are $600 per 6 months - Monday to Friday only - No weekends.

• Student spaces are $450 per semester (September - January, February - June) - Monday to Friday only - No weekends.

• You can only park in your designated numbered spot and tags are not transferable.

Drivers need to come in person to the Parish offices in the Devine Ctr to sign a parking agreement, make payment and then you will receive your numbered parking placard that needs to be placed on the front dashboard of the vehicle.

Any driver under the age of 18, needs to have a parent present. 

Parking permits can be purchased beginning Tuesday, Sept. 6th as follows:

Tuesdays or Thursdays between 11 AM to 4 PM at the Parish Offices in the Devine Ctr (bldg next to the Church steps). 

Please call the parish offices to make an appointment 973-379-3912.

Good Morning,

 I hope you have all had an enjoyable summer filled with family fun and enjoyment. I would like to welcome you to St. Rose Academy Sports for the 2022-2023 School Year. I have provided an outline of our offerings below for you to review and consider and help you plan for the school year.

Welcome Parents and Students to the 2022-2023 school year!

The St. Rose of Lima Academy faculty and staff are so very excited to welcome our new and returning students on Wednesday, September 7^th. The first three days will be 12:10 dismissal for Kindergarten through Eighth grade.

Good Afternoon,

We are excited to say we are seriously considering adding Competitive Girls Volleyball as a sport during the 2022 -2023 School year during the Fall 2022 season.

The CYO currently has a Fall league for Girls in Grades 6-8. We are conducting this survey to see how much interest we have and hopefully we will be able to have at least 1 team if not 2.
