GREETINGS!

Dear St. Rita Families,

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate the busy spring season together. We want to extend our sincerest apologies for the cancellation of yesterday’s school concert. Due to the weather forecast indicating potentially dangerous conditions, we made the decision to cancel in the interest of safety.

While we won’t be rescheduling a public concert, we’re excited to announce that students will perform during a special school assembly on Field Day (May 28, with a rain date of May 29). We’ll be recording the performances and sharing videos with families so you can still enjoy the beautiful music your children have worked so hard on. A big thank you to Ms. Miller for her dedication—students sounded wonderful during dress rehearsals!

Next week, spring STAR assessment results will be sent home with your child. These results provide valuable insights into your child’s academic growth and help guide our instruction. If you have any questions after reviewing the results, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.

The end of the school year has been filled with exciting and enriching field trips! From museums to the zoo, our students have had wonderful opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. We are so grateful to the many parents who volunteered their time to chaperone—your support makes these experiences possible!

We’re looking forward to celebrating Festa St. Rita next Thursday with a short play following mass and afternoon games. Students may wear a RED top with their uniform bottoms or wear their uniform.  Students are allowed to leave for lunch with their families from 10:30-12:00 if their parents wish. Please remember to return your child’s permission slip by Monday if you plan to take your child off campus.  It promises to be a joyful day of faith, fun, and community!

As we close out the school year, we kindly ask that if you have any concerns or questions, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher or to me. Open and respectful communication helps us best support your child. We also encourage everyone to avoid spreading or engaging with rumors on social media, as these can cause unnecessary confusion and stress. Your partnership means the world to us, and we are grateful for the trust you place in our staff and school.

With gratitude,
