On behalf of the entire faculty and staff of St. Roch Catholic School, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for each of you. The support and love that you show to all of us each day is amazing, and we are grateful that you trust us with your most precious gifts- your children. I hope you have a wonderful day, and enjoy spending time with your family.
God Bless You!

Teacher/Staff Christmas Gifts
|
|
We would like to offer everyone the opportunity to contribute to group/class Christmas gifts for our wonderful teachers and support staff.
We will be collecting donations from now until
Friday,
December 13th
for anyone that would like to contribute. Your donations will be used to purchase various gift cards, through our SCRIP program, for the teachers and support staff of your choice.
Your donation can be made through our online giving link (below), cash or check. It is asked that all cash and/or checks (payable to St. Roch) be in sealed envelopes and marked for Stephanie Littell or "School Office." Also please specify who the donation will go towards and the amount.
When you break down your donation, you can list specific people or groups of people. We have homeroom teachers, resource teachers, special area teachers (Art, Music, P.E. Spanish, & Computer) cafeteria staff, instructional assistants, support staff and administration
Feel free to contact the office with any questions or concerns. Please note that this is optional. SCRIP cards are a great way to show appreciation to our teachers and support staff as well as giving back to the school. Buying gift cards through SCRIP is a program that donates a percentage of its sales back to the school.

Saint Roch spiritwear has been sent home - unless you specifically requested to pick your items up in the school office. If you requested office pickup, please do so during school hours.
If there are issues (missing items, wrong sizes/styles) with your order, please let Tina Hayes (
hayes6850@yahoo.com
) know immediately. All issues must be brought to her attention no later than
Wednesday, November 27th
. Unfortunately, we do not have the funds to hold inventory so if you ordered something but find that you don't like it or that it doesn't fit, we cannot exchange those items. But - many families reached out after the sale was closed in an attempt to order, and you might be able to sell your items. We would suggest starting with the Saint Roch Mommas facebook page. Additionally, feel free to let Tina know if you have something you would be willing to sell or trade as she may be able to connect you with families looking for something in particular.
Our next sale will most likely take place in January or February. If you have ideas for items that you would like for us to offer, please reach out to Tina Hayes at the email listed above as we are always looking for new ideas!
Go Rockets!

If we ever have a 2 hour delay, early dismissal, or school closing because of inclement weather, we will notify the teachers and parents using the following:
1. Notified via email to all parents and staff.
2. Posted on our "Saint Roch Catholic School" Facebook Group Page
3. Posted on our Twitter page
4. A text Alert
5. Posted via local TV stations: Channel 4, 6, 8, 13, 59 (this is the last places I notify, please look for above methods first)
As always, as the parent YOU are the one that makes the decision on whether to bring your children to school each day because of weather and/or road conditions. If we are in school at a normal time and the roads around your home or area are not safe to travel, please call the school office and notify the school that your children will not be attending school because of inclement weather.
