Dear Parents,

What to Expect During Weeks 1 and 2

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! Although we had hoped for an easier start to this school year, it was not to be. But as everyone knows, SRLA Ravens are not easily swayed and we look forward to an outstanding school year.

Parents,

Some of you or your students may have received an email that says information is now available in PowerSchool. This is because students have been added to their classes for the new school year. The only information is what classes the students have and what teachers are teaching each class. 

Please know that in middle school, every student in a particular grade has the same teachers for each subject with the exception of 8th grade religion. That subject is split between Ms. Muller and Ms. Timmerman.

Here is a list of teachers for your information.

PK2 & 3 - Ms. Romano
PK4 - Ms. Perkins
Kdgnt - Ms. Kepler
Grade 1 - Ms. Doyle
Grade 2 - Ms. Carangelo
Grade 3 - Ms. Speckhart
Grade 4 - Ms. Vicari
Grade 5 - Ms. Heinz
Grade 6 - Ms. Muller and Ms. Schugel
Grade 7 - Ms. Lucius
Grade 8 - Ms. Harrington and Ms. Timmerman
Spanish - Ms. delavina Sierra
Phys. Ed. - Ms. Machen
Art - Ms. Fowler
Music - Mr. Jarvis
Computer - Mr. Miller

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Parents,

There have been some questions about the COVID questionnaire that was sent out on Monday 8/30. In an effort to clarify the instructions, please take note:

Questions 6 & 7 must be filled out with your child's name. If you have more than one child attending St. Rose, the oldest child's name & grade should be used here.

Questions 8 & 9 - If you have additional children attending St Rose, please put their name & grade here, one per question. If you do not have an additional child at the school, these may be left blank.

Question 14 - Due to the way the questionnaire was designed this time, question 14 must be completed. If you answered "no" to question 13, just enter the date you are completing the questionnaire.

Please note: if you do not plan to travel this last weekend of summer, the questionnaire may be filled out at any time. However, it must be completed and submitted prior to your child(ren) entering school on Wednesday, September 8.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please see the link below and complete the following COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire either electronically or fill in the form we sent home before the break to gain entry into the school building on Wednesday, September 8th.

Failure to do so will result in your student not being able to gain entry until we contact you and get a completed form.

School Eatery’s hot lunch program

Dear Parents, Students and Staff,

Our hot lunch program, School Eatery, has a few notes for you. 

Hello from your SRLA HSA! 

We hope you have been enjoying a wonderful summer vacation! School is right around the corner, and we are so excited to have the school bustling with children and teachers again! 

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

August 11, 2021

Good Morning Parents,

As I am sure everyone is aware, I wanted to share with everyone information about Executive Order 251 which requires masks in schools. As per the Executive Order...

"All public, private, and parochial preschool programs and elementary and secondary schools, including charter and renaissance schools (collectively “school districts”), must maintain a policy regarding mandatory use of face masks by staff, students, and visitors in the indoor portion of the school district premises,"  This is regardless of their vaccination status.

There are some exceptions (circumstances where masks can't be worn, such as those under the age of 2 years old) to the Executive Order which are outlined in more detail at the link below. Please note the Executive Order is effective as of Monday, Aug. 9th, thus this order does apply to ESY and summer school programs. This does not apply to summer camp programs which are governed by other executive orders. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Below is a link containing more information:

As always this information is subject to change.

Best regards,

Tina Underwood
