CONFIDENTIALITY

Members of the St. Rose School’s staff cannot by law, divulge information concerning any student to anyone who does not have what the law defines as a clear “need to know” basis. In disciplinary or academic situations, the only persons who meet this definition are the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the children involved. As posted on campus, "We Respect the Privacy and Confidentiality of St. Rose Students By Not Discussing Our Students in Public Areas".

TELEPHONE USE

Calls for students during school hours are to be for emergency only and are to be left with the school secretary. If it is necessary in an emergency to bring your child’s lunch, please identify it with the child’s name and grade and leave it in the office.

The children may use the telephone for emergency calls only. Children may not use the telephone to call home for forgotten gym clothes, homework, lunches or social arrangements PLEASE REMIND STUDENTS THAT AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ARE TO BE COORDINATED BEFORE COMING TO SCHOOL.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE SCHOOL

The St. Rose School Newsline is published on a monthly basis. Expect to see publication around the 15th of each month and view it on the school website at www.strose.org by clicking on "News" then "Newsline". The St. Rose School "Newsline" contains information specifically from the teachers in each classroom or subject area. It is intended to inform school families of classroom activities and general events.

Teachers in many of the grade levels communicate with families on a weekly basis using whatever formalized means works best for their classes.

Reminder notices will be sent home with the students as needs arise.

The St. Rose School "Insight", which contains the Principal’s newsletter, monthly calendar and information regarding school and pertinent church activities, will be sent home on the last Thursday of each month with the oldest child in each family. This newsletter is also published on the school website.
