Dear Families,

This year, we will celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 4th, 5th and 6th. All parish groups are volunteering their time to help this Fiesta be a success. Please be aware that each school family must work four (4) hours. At this time, please select the time slot that best suits your schedule. The proceeds of the Fiesta will be going toward the renovations of the church.

In the event that you are not able to honor the time slot, you will be charged a $200 no-show fee on your October Facts fees.

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has offered its service. Families must fill out a form to see if they qualify to receive free or reduced lunch meals. You will be billed the full price if the family doesn't qualify. The applications will be available in August.

Prices for 2024-2025. The Price Schedule is the same unless a change in funding requires an increase.

STUDENT: Paid Lunch - $ 4.00, Reduced-Price Lunch - $0.40, or Free if qualified

STUDENT: Paid Breakfast - $2.50, Reduced-Price Breakfast - $0.30, or Free if qualified

ADULT: Lunch - $ 5.00, Breakfast - $3.75

OLR does not allow students to bring or have lunch delivered from fast-food restaurants.

We will continue to follow these drop-off and pick-up procedures.

We've created arrival protocols that will allow us to meet and greet students. Parents will remain in their cars and must wear a mask.

1. The use of the car line will enable the parents to drive through and drop off/pick up their children at a location where they can be watched as they walk to their classrooms. Drop-offs/pickups are divided into zones to minimize contact. Zone 1: TK-4th Zone 2: 5th -6th

2. Students walk to the classroom and line up apart from each other. Each classroom teacher will take their students' temperature, ask screening questions, provide sanitizer, and then students that are clear will go directly into their classroom.

If a child has a temperature, the teachers will radio the school office, and the child will go directly to the isolation room (Holy Spirit Room).

Zone 1: TK-4th

• The student must sit on the right side passenger seat for easy access
• First, drop-off/pick-up of the youngest child on Zone 1 then proceed to Zone 2

Zone 2: 5th -8th

• The student must sit on the left side passenger seat for easy access.
• Students being dropped-off/pick-up on Zone will not be allowed to walk to Zone 1

We ask that families refer good families to our school. Once again, we will participate in the Archdiocesan initiative to have new families enrolled at Our Lady of the Rosary School.

Applications are available in the school's office or at the bottom below.

We will be offering after-school care to all families from Tk-8th grade. An additional monthly fee for this service will be charged through FACTS. The hours of operation will be from 3:00 to 5:30 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 1:00-5:30 pm on Wednesday.

We will also be offering before-school care from 7:00 -7:45 AM. An additional monthly fee for this service will be charged through FACTS.

Applications are available in the school's office or at the bottom below.

School Hours 2024 - 2025

Arrival Time 7:45-8:10 am

School Hours 8:15- 3:00 pm (1:00 pm on Wednesdays)

The gate will close at 8:10 am

Tardy will begin at 8:15 am

The following attachments are the school supplies lists by grade levels; Preschool-2nd, 3rd-5th, and 6th -8th. Each child must have their own supplies. Teachers will discuss with students how the supplies will be used at school and at home. We highly recommend that you also have school supplies at home.

Los siguientes archivos adjuntos son las listas de útiles escolares por niveles de grado; Preescolar-2do, 3ro-5to, y 6to-8vo. Cada niño debe tener sus propios útiles. Los maestros instruir con los estudiantes sobre cómo se usarán los útiles en la escuela en la casa. Les recomiendo que también tenga útiles escolares en casa.

Our Lady of the Rosary School chooses uniforms for their students because:

• Encourages distinctions of character and personality instead of appearance
• Places emphasis on learning, not clothing
• Reduces peer pressure and social stigmas
• Equalizes economic diversity
• Allows for cohesive presentation as a group
• A simple dress code and uniform allow teachers to enforce the code equally
• Lowers long-term clothing costs
• Facilitates security by identifying outsiders
• Enhances school spirit
• Simplifies dressing and dress code

Our Lady of the Rosary School dress code is intended to instill modesty, good grooming habits, and neatness in appearance. It is to maintain a proper academic environment within the school and reduce superficial competitiveness so that character rather than appearance can be the focus.

Students are expected to come to school appropriately dressed at all times, with clean and in-order clothing.

The parent is responsible for ensuring the child can be and is in uniform each day.

• There should be no holes in, or stains on, the uniform
• Students wear clothing in proportion to their body size
• Tattoos, both temporary and permanent, are not allowed
• Fingernails are clean and trimmed.

In order to facilitate lost-and-found items so they may be returned to their rightful owner, names should be written on all clothing.

Absences are considered excused when a doctor’s note is provided. When no doctor’s note is presented, the absence is considered unexcused. Students will be accountable for all classwork, homework, and notes taken in class when they are not present. If, by chance, a quiz, exam, or project is scheduled, the student must complete the task within 24-48 hours of being back. Not being in school is not an excuse for not taking a planned test.

Please plan vacation days accordingly so students do not miss crucial learning. The school cannot be held accountable for grades that reflect a student who misses school consistently.

Attendance: Under Archdiocesan policy, a student absent fifteen (15) or more days in a quarter will not be issued a report card and must attend summer school. If a child is absent more than thirty (30) or more days during the school year, he or she will be retained in the same grade because you still need to meet the requirements for your grade. The County Board of Education requires principals to report the severance of attendance by any student.

Las ausencias se consideran justificadas con una nota del médico. Cuando no se presenta una nota del médico, la ausencia se considera injustificada. Los estudiantes serán responsables de todo el trabajo de clase, tareas, notas tomadas en clase cuando no están presentes. Si por casualidad se programa una prueba, un examen y proyectos, es responsabilidad de los estudiantes completar la tarea dentro de las 24-48 horas posteriores a su regreso. No estar en la escuela no es una excusa para no tomar un examen programado.

Planifique los días de vacaciones en consecuencia para que los estudiantes no se pierdan el aprendizaje crucial. La escuela no se hace responsable de las calificaciones que reflejan un estudiante que falta a la escuela constantemente.

Asistencia: De acuerdo con la póliza de la Arquidiócesis, un estudiante que haya estado ausente quince (15) o más días en un trimestre no recibirá un reporte de calificaciones y deberá asistir a la escuela de verano. Si un niño se ausenta más de treinta (30) días o más durante el año escolar, será retenido en el mismo grado porque no ha cumplido con los requisitos de su grado. La Junta de Educación del Condado puede exigir a los directores que informen la interrupción de la asistencia de cualquier estudiante.

To encourage school families, the staff, and parish families to celebrate Sunday Mass as a community, the school will send a Sunday Mass Attendance Card to all our students.

Our school community believes "We are one body, one body in Christ."

Our Lady of the Rosary School believes we are one in Christ because Jesus died for us on the cross for our salvation. Scripture Romans 12:4-5. For as in one body, we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually parts of one another. We are all part of Jesus Christ's body as a school community. Therefore, we must gather as one body, worship him, and receive His Body on Sundays.

FACTS is the school's enrollment, tuition, and billing management system.

The school uses Google Classroom as a central place where teachers communicate with students and post assignments. It brings all digital learning tools together in one place. Students will receive assignments, turn in assignments, and teachers will either grade them or give student feedback.

Parents can get access to Google Classroom

The teacher must first invite the parent by adding their email address under their child's name on Google Classroom. The parent will then receive an email and must accept the invitation to begin receiving the guardian email summaries
