School Wide News

Lord God let us give thanks for the past year.  For the things we have learned, for the fun we have had, for the skills we have gained, for the help we have had, and for the friends we have made.
Let us pray for people who have had a difficult year.  For those who have been ill.  For those who are unhappy or anxious.

Let us pray for those who are graduating or leaving our school at the end of the year.   For their new schools, new friends, and new activities, and for their well being.

Let us pray for our new school, for help and guidance for our students, teachers, and helpers.
Let us pray for a happy summer time.   For safety for those who travel with family and friends.

Let us pray for continuing growth in faith and hope and love.   Amen.

May God continue to watch over our graduates, to guide them, and to provide them with the strength for their new journey.

“And when the days of Pentecost were drawing to a close, they were all together in one place.   And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  And there appeared to them parted tongues of fire, which settled upon each of them.   And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues, even as the Holy Spirit prompted them to speak” (Acts 2:1-4) 

All of the twenty-six eighth graders passed their portfolio evaluations.   Our students did a super job in presenting their evidence to prove that they have achieved the Schoolwide Learning Expectations.   Thank you to the faculty, staff, parents, South Bay principals, and parishioners who served as judges for the portfolios.

The De Flores Educational Complex is now ready for the school to start moving items into the building.   Hopefully, before the big move on Saturday, June 5, many boxes and some furniture items can be transported into the building.  Once again we wish to thank Dominy and Associates and Erickson-Hall Construction for creating a beautiful building.  Thank you also to Fr. Dolan and Deacon Greg Smyth for their input into the planning and construction of the educational complex.  It has been a great team effort.

ALL FAMILIES who have used FACTS in the past must use the online re-enrollment through our school website at www.strosecvschool.com (CLICK ON THE FACTS IMAGE AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE).

You have to create a “new user” account as our school has changed to paperless operations through FACTS . All information needs to be entered as new by each family by tomorrow Tuesday, May 25. The instructions were sent home with the 2010-2011 Parent Agreements which you have already turned into the school office.

If you are not registered by the end of business tomorrow, the school will invoice you for the tuition balance. If you have questions, contact Mrs. Inés Stonehouse at x. 201.

Spearheaded by SRL parent Omar Firestone and Jorge Soto the “De La Rosa’ program will teach basic mastery of the violin, viola, and cello leading to participation in the St. Rose Youth Chamber Orchestra.  This after school program will admit a cohort of ten to fifteen students (ages 5 to 7) who will complete a graduated 2-year sequence of skill fundamentals.  After two years of group classes, students will be eligible to receive individual instruction and music theory concurrent with their participation in the St. Rose Youth Chamber Orchestra.  At orchestra rehearsals they will learn precision “musical teamwork” as they prepare works to perform at Mass and special church events.   At this time the estimated cost will be approximately $7.50 per month thanks to the program being underwritten by a special donation.   Musical instruments will be provided.   MORE INFORMATION WILL BE FORTHCOMING.
