- Individual classes will be having parties on Wednesday or Thursday this week. Check your class Smore for more info.
- We will NOT be sending home Communication Envelopes this week.
- On Thursday, we will have PAJAMA DAY for all students (and staff).
- Thursday is a noon dismissal (12 pm) and there is NO afternoon Extended Care. All students MUST be picked up by 12:15 pm.
- School is out for Christmas Vacation from Friday, Dec. 21st - Sunday, Jan. 6th. We return at the regular time on Monday, January, 7th!
All of the staff at Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy wants to take a moment to wish all of our families a wonderful and safe Christmas Vacation and a blessed New Year.

Update on the Church
Thursday, Dec. 13th, Deacon Jim met with a number of people at the Seattle Archdiocese to discuss the safety study on the church. Based on the current information, it was determined that additional information was needed and that there would be a further "deep dive" on the situation. At this point, there has been a unanimous decision to prevent anyone from entering the church until further notice. Therefore, this week, Hilger Construction will be erecting a chain link fence around the entire perimeter of the church. This will not impact the exit for the school. We should have more information in the next couple of months. So, until further notice, all masses (school and weekend/Holy Day) will be held in the school auditorium. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Deacon Jim Fish. Thank you!
