PM Student Pick Up:
For your child's safety and security, teachers will bring students to the cafeteria to be received by parents after school. Students will not be released on their own to walk through the parking lot by themselves or released to anyone other than who is recorded in TeacherEase as a pick up person. Unless the student brings a note to school or parent calls the office to change pick up arrangements.
Once you walk your child to your car you may exit on Main Street if you are parked behind Church
or
Exit on Church Street if you are parked by the playground. Please do not drive across the parking lot where students are exiting the building. Please communicate this procedure with other caregivers that may be picking up students. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our students safe!
Please also be mindful of students crossing at street corners at the end of the day. We will be working in conjunction with the Clinton County and the Village to see if a safer passage can be attained to help students cross at the corner of Main St. and Church Street.

The first semester is flying by and if you are an 8th grader or a parent of one, the second semester will go even faster for you. As we help our students transition to high school we invite them to arrange a "Shadow Visit" with the following policy guidelines and filling out the Shadow Request Form found below and on our app or website in the documents folder:
Eighth grade students will be afforded the opportunity to take two (2) days during their eighth grade year to shadow a student from Breese Central High School (1 Day) and/or Breese Mater Dei High School (1 Day). Arrangements must be made in advance with the corresponding high school as well as St. Rose Elementary.
All homework must be picked up before the high school shadow experience and is expected to be completed and turned in the following day for full credit.
The Shadow Request must be signed and turned into the St. Rose Office no less than 1 day before the shadow request date to indicate an excused absence. Students are responsible for any assignments assigned or collected during their shadow day. Please note: An unexcused absence will result in “0” for any grades that are taken for the day of the unexcused absence.
