Hey, Cardinals! 🌟 As it gets chillier outside, let’s stay warm while rocking our St. Rose of Lima pride. Here’s a quick reminder about keeping it cozy and uniform-approved this season: Cold Weather Uniform Policy: Layer up: Stick to school-approved sweatshirts, sweaters, jackets, and bottoms. For girls: Solid navy blue, black, or white leggings can be worn with skorts or jumpers. For everyone: Solid white "Under Armor" style long sleeves under uniform shirts or navy blue sweatpants with PE uniforms are perfect for chilly days. Extra Cold days (below 60): Heavy winter jackets (not sweaters), gloves, and caps are allowed for outdoor activities—but remember, they go on top of your SRL sweater and hoods stay down. Let’s stay warm and Cardinal sharp! Inappropriate items will be collected, so let’s keep it SRL-approved! ❤️🖤

As flu season is upon us, we kindly ask for your cooperation in helping us maintain a healthy school environment for all. Illnesses can spread quickly in classrooms, impacting the health and well-being of students, teachers, and staff. We ask that you keep your child(ren) home whenever they’re not feeling well to prevent illness from spreading. Let’s work together to ensure that our school remains a safe and healthy place for learning. Please review the following reminders from our illness policy, outlined in our school handbook: • Reporting Absences: Please notify the school office between 7:30 – 8:30 AM if your child is unable to attend school. You may call us at (305) 751-4257 or email attendance-SRL@srlschool.com to report any absence. • Extended Absences: For any absence of three or more days due to illness, injury, or hospitalization, a note from a licensed medical or psychological practitioner is required. This note must be submitted in hard copy and include the practitioner’s name and contact information, along with specific clearance for your child’s safe return to school. We request that notes not be provided by practitioners who are immediate family members of the student. • Contagious Symptoms: Children with contagious symptoms or any illness that may cause discomfort to themselves or their classmates (e.g., excessive coughing, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, fever) should remain home until they are symptom-free for 24 hours and/or have been cleared by a pediatrician. Please note that the school reserves the right to send home any child who is ill. Further details regarding our absence and illness policy can be found in our Parent and Student Handbook on page 34. By being considerate of others, we can keep our classrooms healthy and ensure an optimal learning environment for all students. Thank you for your partnership in this important effort.

Our middle school team captured 1st place overall at Monsignor Pace High School’s annual Academic Olympics!

This victory highlights the talent, teamwork, and dedication of our students and faculty coaches. From solving tough problems to shining in the arts, our Cardinals showed they can succeed in every arena. Congratulations to our students for making St. Rose proud and proving that Cardinals soar in every subject!
