St. Rose School will be taking an E-Learning Day on Tuesday, January 27th due to side road conditions. Stay warm!
St. Rose Families,
Based on weather reports that we have been receiving it is looking like we could have a combination of things happen to us over the weekend. We wanted to communicate a plan with families as we monitor the weather with the Clinton County Consortium of Schools.
How You will Receive E-Learning/Snow Day Announcement:
As in the past, a message will be sent out via the St. Rose Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/srs1415), text, email and automated phone call to indicate the cancellation of school. A message will be sent to St. Rose Families each day a decision is made to have an E-Learning Day or Snow Day. Please note that we are still making decisions regarding school closures as a Clinton County School Consortium, however not all schools may decide to proceed with E-learning or Snow Days in the same manner.
Power Outage: Should a power outage or wifi outage occur for any part of the St. Rose School District During a Planned E-learning Days between 8:00 - 12:00 that day will be declared a Snow Day instead of an E-Learning Day.
Primary Students (PK-4):
Teachers have issued primary students E-Learning materials earlier in the school year. If you can no longer find the materials please reach out to your child’s teacher. Students are only required to complete these assignments ONLY if an E-Learning Day is declared by the St. Rose School District. Teachers have learning materials prepared for a total of 3 days if needed. The packets are to be returned to school the next day if they are not needed (if we end up having school) or if they are completed. The reasoning behind learning packets for younger students is that they are easier to complete with other caregivers and older siblings may be learning online. Should a 4th day be needed, it will be declared a “Snow Day” on the school calendar should the roads prohibit us from getting students to school safely.
Middle School Students (5-8):
Middle School Teachers have prepared middle school students with E-learning materials and directions of how to log in to Google Classroom along with the schedule in which teachers are available to students to ask questions if needed. Middle school students will be required to log in on Google Meet to receive assignments at the times indicated by teachers. Students are expected to log in and complete assignments/tests etc. Additional days needed after the 3rd E-Learning Day will be considered a “Snow Day” on the school calendar should the roads inhibit us from getting students to school safely.
E-Learning Days / Snow Days Emergency Days / Act of God Days:
We have 5 Emergency days built into our school calendar this year which enables us to use the same amount of E-Learning Days if needed for a total of 10 Days before Act of God Days are put into effect.
Our school counselor, Ms. Kate, is courageously battling cancer. St. Rose School along with other schools in the county are surrounding Ms. Kate and her family in a community-wide effort to surround her with encouragement, love, and support.
Donations for Ms Kate's family can be sent to school Feb. 2nd - 4th (National School Counselor Week)

Safety, Security, and Style at St. Rose!
We’ve had a busy Holiday Break at SRS, and we are thrilled to share some major upgrades as we kick off the new year!
Safety First: The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Over the break, we installed several new safety and security features throughout the building. To ensure these tools work seamlessly, our staff participated in live simulations alongside local first responders TJ Tebbe, Neil Lohmann, and Dan Trame. This collaboration ensures we are all on the same page and prepared to act in unison.
New Stage: We are also excited to announce that we have secured funding for a brand-new stage! Whether it’s for kindergarten and 8th-grade graduations, student performances, or award ceremonies, this new space will be the perfect place to celebrate our students' achievements.
It Takes a Village: These improvements wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our community. A massive thank you to:
24 Local Organizations (Our Partners in Education)
Metro AG - Patial Stage Funding
SRS PTO - Partial Stage Funding / Security Funding
SRS Booster Club - Partial Stage Funding
Thank you for continuing to make St. Rose a safe, supportive, and enjoyable place to learn and grow! 🐾
