STAR Test Scores 

Our students in K5 were administered the STAR Reading Assessment. Our students in grades 1-8 were administered the STAR Reading and STAR Math Assessments. These assessments provide results that assist St. Rita School teachers to plan instruction, individualize instruction, and help identify students who may need supplemental services. The STAR assessments are computer adaptive which means they are administered on a computer and questions will increase in level of difficulty as students answer them correctly.

STAR Early Literacy and STAR Reading assess skills in “Reading, Reading Foundational Skills and Language”. STAR Math assesses skills in “Numbers and Operations, Measurement and Data, Functions, Number and Quantity, Statistics and Probability, Geometry, Mathematical Thinking and Algebra.” Not all skills are assessed at every grade level

The STAR assessment is administered yearly in Fall, Winter and Spring. Results throughout the course of the year will show which students have reached benchmark goals, which students are responding to interventions and which students may still need additional support.

Your child’s STAR assessment report is being sent to you on paper today and electronically on Monday. If you have questions regarding your child’s report, please contact the classroom teacher for more information.

Tablesetters - Community Service Group

Children in kindergarten through 8th grade are welcome to participate in the community service group at St. Rita called Tablesetters. We meet once a month to learn about Catholic social teaching and participate in service opportunities which reflect those teachings. Some examples of projects from the past are: making dog toys for the Humane Society, collecting winter clothes for a local school, making "blessing bags" for the patrons of the St. Patrick's meal program, planting bulbs on the St. Rita grounds, making scarves and hats for the Hospitality Center, and making cards for our homebound parishioners. Participation in Tablesetters gives students the opportunity to play a real part in the local and global work of serving our community. It's fun to work together in helping others! 

Monthly Outdoor Rosary 

Please join us in praying the Rosary outdoors. We will meet monthly from May to October on the 13th of each month at 7:00 PM at the St. Rita statue on the St. Rita grounds (near the parish office doors). Our next Rosary will be said on Friday, September 13. Rosaries, prayer booklets and assistance will be provided, if needed. The event will be canceled in the case of inclement weather. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and your friends and family. If you have small children, feel free to come for only one decade, if that is what works for your family. All are welcome!

Welcome Back Mass

St. Rita Parish would like to welcome all school families back for another fun and successful year. Be sure to join your parish family for the 10:30 AM Mass on Sunday, September 14. Students are encouraged to wear St. Rita uniforms to show their school pride. If you take a photo of your child in their uniform at church and send it to their teacher or Mrs. Lopez, they can earn an OOU pass. There will be refreshments and a time to mingle with fellow school families and parishioners afterwards. Children are encouraged to play an active part in the Mass.
