Dear SRLA Families,
I hope this letter finds you well and rested. As we begin this new academic year at St. Rose of Lima Academy, I wanted to take a moment to extend a warm welcome to both our returning families and those joining our school community for the first time.
We look forward to working together to provide your child with a faith-filled education that nurtures both their academic growth and spiritual development.
At SRLA, our mission is to cultivate a strong foundation in both academics and faith, guiding our students to grow in knowledge, character, and love for God and others. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where your child can thrive in all aspects of their life.
I encourage you to become active participants in your child's education by attending school events, parent-teacher conferences, and staying engaged in their academic progress. We believe that strong collaboration between home and school is essential for your child's success.
Please take note of the following important dates and information for the upcoming school year:
