When you finish, the system emails pledge requests to your family and friends, and allows them to make secure credit card donations online. You get notified each time a pledge is made, and you can track your pledge progress online.

HSA Volunteer Sign Up

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!

Laptops for students in grades 5-8

To Parents of Middle School Students,

Saint Rose is offering students in grades 5-8 the opportunity to use a computer to assist with their school work. Students have two options. They can bring their own computer or have one assigned to them from the school. Students will bring the computers to and from school each day.

If you would like your child to take advantage of one of these options, please sign one of the forms below. The Laptop Computer Agreement form is for your child to receive a computer from the school. The BYOD form is if your child will be using their own computer.

If you choose one of these options, please sign the permission form at the back of the document. Return the signed page only to me via email or have your child bring the signed form to me. Students getting a school laptop will be issued one on a first come - first served basis.

Please email me with any questions or concerns.

Thank you.
