St. Rose Of Lima Elementary School

-I can confidently send my child to school every day knowing she will be safe, she will be loved, and the values we have worked so hard to instill in her will be encouraged. The school atmosphere encourages respect, calm, and happiness. -Small class sizes. Some may see it as a negative, but I would pay extra for this. I know she won’t be “lost in the crowd” and that she will get one-on-one attention from her teachers. -I have always experienced excellent communication with teachers. I appreciate the updates and reports I receive each week in the Friday folder. I know I will be contacted if my child is struggling with something. I have heard from parents with students at other schools that they don’t hear about their child’s progress until conferences. At St. Rose I know there will be no surprises when we attend parent/teacher conferences. The teachers are easy to approach and always return calls or emails right away. -A middle school that prepares students for high school. I like that they are on a separate floor learning new skills (i.e. changing classes, lockers) but they are still able to be part of the school community. -A school that is open to all faiths. I like that it has the foundation of Christianity, but allows families and students to continue with their own spiritual journey.
