We’re starting off 2013 with an exciting change: we’re introducing a fully accredited, full day Kindergarten for the 2013-2014 school year! So now your children can have the advantage of a continuous Catholic school education from Kindergarten through 8th grade at St. Rose of Lima School.

Here are some more details about our New Kindergarten Program:

• Available in August 2013
• Offers children the benefit of starting and continuing their Catholic elementary school education at one location—St. Rose of Lima School
• Fully accredited by the Department of Catholic Schools and by WASC (the Western Association of Schools and Colleges)—the gold standard of school accreditation
• Led by an excellent, enthusiastic and experienced teacher with an aide
• Set in a completely state-of-the-art classroom that will be outfitted with the most advanced technology and teaching tools available
• Full curriculum includes all core subjects plus PE, Music, Art, Spanish and more!

Catholic school education is truly an advantage for life. We feel that our students will benefit even more when are able to introduce our exceptional faith-filled teachings at the Kindergarten level.

We welcome all children of kindergarten age, especially those who can join older siblings who already attend St. Rose of Lima School.  We hope the convenience of one drop-off location and the knowledge that your child will receive an outstanding education will be welcome news within our community.

Please spread the word about our new Kindergarten program, and invite parents with Kindergarten-aged children to visit us and find out more about this exciting program!

Welcome to St. Rose of Lima Catholic School. I am extremely pleased to be the principal of this school. As principal, I’m looking forward for the opportunity to work with you and your child to provide an outstanding educational experience. We are fortunate to have a strong teaching staff that are well experienced and yet open to new and innovative ideas. We are also fortunate to have supportive parents who play an important role in their child’s education.

Our mission is to nurture students to discover their God-given gifts, to encourage them to use these gifts in the service of others, and to empower them to be models of integrity.  We—parents, school staff, and parish community—collaborate to provide a quality Catholic education based on prayer, stewardship, the Eucharist and Catholic traditions as reflected in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. We encourage our students to reach their full academic, spiritual, emotional, social and physical potential while recognizing each child’s unique strengths and talents, challenging them to achieve their personal best. We look forward to working together with you in helping your child grow toward fulfilling these goals.

This year our academic goals will be to continue the use of formative and summative assessments in determining the needs of our children; to provide direct writing instruction in helping our children become effective communicators; to provide engaging and differentiated instructional strategies; to incorporate technology in teaching and in children’s learning; and to offer many paths by which children can be successful.

I invite you to peruse our website to learn more about the many facets of our school. Then, come to our school for a visit so that you can see for yourself the genuine care that our teachers and staff have for each and every student. Finally, I would like you to know that my door is always open and I welcome your suggestions. Together we make a difference in the lives of our children.

Sincerely,

John P. Sanders
