YES-WE HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW, JANUARY 30th!
We added this day back into the calendar because of all the days we have used!
You received an OptionC with this information earlier this week!
Thanks for a good 19th week of school!
It warms our hearts to have your children here each day! It's good for allof us to be together!
WEATHER COLD DAYS
The forecast for Northeast Ohio for the next couple of weeks is COLD weather. We simply cannot take off of school for every cold day. Almost all of our students are dropped off approximately 50 ft from the school door where they enter a WARM building. They do not go out for recess-they use our beautiful gym. We can make adjustments for dismissal so they are not our for prolonged periods of time. Please cooperate and bring your children to school.
SPEAKING of DISMISSAL.....
Please pick up your children on time. School dismisses at 2:50pm. I can understand that life happens and that sometimes you may be running late BUT any time past 3:20pm is TOO LATE. After school there are still many things going on. There are staff meetings, grade level meetings and Mrs. Armbruster and I are often finishing work that we could not complete during the day.
I appreciate your attention to this matter.
SECURITY CAMERAS
Over the Christmas break, security cameras were installed throughout the Saint Rocco School campus: gym, cafeteria, hallways, classrooms and outside. We are all very happy about the extra layer of security. FYI: We did have cameras in the old school building, too. We had to wait to save the money to install them in the new school building.
CUPID'S CARNIVAL- FEBRUARY 12TH
Check out this weeks' flyer for our 2nd annual Cupid's Carnival for our Saint Rocco families! We will be having a beef/chicken taco bar, rice and beans and cupcakes! It is an evening of fun and fellowship with our Saint Rocco Community! Registration and money DUE February 5th--hard deadline:)
WINTER MAP TESTING
The next MAP test will be:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd LANGUAGE ARTS 9-11:00am
Please help in your child's success by making sure they get a good night's sleep and are here on time to eat breakfast.
NO STUDENTS WILL BE ADMITTED AFTER 8:30am on these days. This is because the students and teachers are preparing to test at 9:00am.
GRADE 7/8 Parents/Guardians
The Sacrament of Confirmation for 7th and 8th grade Catholic students is this year! If you would like your child to receive the sacrament, please call the school office. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A FORM IN, YOU DO NOT NEED TO CALL. Confirmation is on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 2:30pm at the Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist. Please call as soon as possible--Confirmation preparation will begin in February. Thank you.
DRESS CODE
The dress code is starting to look a little sloppy. Please remember NO hoodies in class. Students may wear a black, gray, maroon or even white sweater. They may wear SRS sweatshirts from last year or our gray SRS sweatshirt. Tennis shoes must be ALL black; not black and other colors. Also, girls MAY NOT wear LEGGINGS as pants-- they may be worn under skirts. Lastly, acrylic nails are NEVER permitted--they are a safety issue. Thank you for your cooperation.
Let's keep looking Crusader Strong ALL year long!
