It’s a very exciting time for SRLA! After years of hard work and fundraising, our playground is FINALLY being replaced! Construction will start next week so the playground area will not be accessible. For your own safety, please do not cut through the playground at any time and do not pick up your kids at the gate. All dismissals should be by the main entrance. Thank you for your patience while we create this beautiful new playground area for the children!

The HSA will be hosting our first ever Family Fest on Oct. 5th from 1-4PM! We would love for all of the families at St.Rose to come and enjoy carnival games (and awesome prizes of course), face painting, crafts, a pumpkin patch, yummy food and a photo booth just to name a few things! This is sure to be a fun event for the whole family! It’s free to enter with a small ticket fee for games.

 

Make sure you order your game tickets and 50/50 tickets in advance for a discounted bundle here

 

We will also have a pumpkin carving contest with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners! We can’t wait to see you there!

WALK-A-THON

It's that time again! The SRLA Walkathon is Friday, October 10!

But first...please complete the Tshirt Survey by Monday Sept 22nd!

 

ST. ROSE ATTENDS SPECIAL JUBILEE MASS

Last Friday, Saint Rose had the honor of being invited to the Jubilee Year Mass for Catholic Schools at the beautiful Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, in Newark. This is a special Mass highlighting our Catholic Schools as Pilgrims of Hope in this Jubilee Year. Cardinal Tobin was the main celebrant. It was a lovely mass!

CAR LINE CHAOS!

We know, care lines can be stressful and confusing! That’s why it’s so important to take our time and keep in line! Please refer to this diagram to help you navigate where you need to go while picking up your kids.

THINGS TO NOTE

 

NEVER under ANY circumstances do we reverse, back out or turn around on the car line. Kids are walking around the cars and this could be incredibly dangerous. 

 

DO NOT MOVE until the teacher in the front of the line gives you the green light. We cannot have the car line start moving while kids are still walking in between cars.

 

IN A RUSH? We get it, we all have places to be. You can absolutely park and walk up to get your child. But please walk up on the sidewalk along Short Hills Ave. To ensure the safety of your children, you should never walk in the middle aisle (under the solar lights).

 

DO NOT park in the spots under the solar panels if you need to leave before the car line starts moving. If you park in the back section, you are free to leave whenever you want.

 

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE! From time to time you will have people trying to back out, wiggle and squeak past the line, sometimes even asking you to move your car to accommodate them. Please do not move if children are outside. Just say “no, because kids are walking out”. By standing your ground, you are keeping our kids safe. People can wait. If someone takes issue with this, get the nearest teacher.

 

NEW UNIFORM RULES

Starting this year, on days the children attend mass they must wear their proper school uniform. Please do NOT wear gym uniforms, even if you have gym that day.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP TO VOLUNTEER?

Volunteering is a magical thing for our school community - we simply can't be SRLA without the help of our wonderful parents! Volunteering not only puts a smile on your child’s face, but it’s also a great way to connect to other adults in the school. So, grab a friend and help lead an event you love, or try something new!

PLEASE NOTE: Volunteering is mandatory for all St.Rose parents.
