Message from the Principal: May 24th

Happy Wednesday!

This is a short week as we prepare for the Memorial Day weekend. Don't forget that we have a noon dismissal on Friday and no school on Monday. I hope that you have an opportunity to celebrate the sacrifices of our members of the Armed Services (past, present, and future). We have so few people serving on behalf of so many of us and we are grateful for their service and sacrifice. Enjoy your time with family and friends this weekend...the weather looks like it will be amazing! We return on Tuesday with just 13.5 days left of the school year and so much to do! Have a wonderful week.


Blessings,

Katie Dempsey

Principal

Staff Changes for 2017-18

Hello, Everyone. I received word from Mrs. Nolting yesterday afternoon that she had a change of plans and would not be returning to Holy Rosary next year. She is leaving to pursue other career opportunities that better suit their new family and we want to wish her, Mr. Nolting, and Baby David all the best as their new family begins this next part of their journey. They will be missed! I posted the position for a bilingual 5th grade teacher last night and have already received a couple of good resumes. Please say a prayer that we find a wonderful candidate to fill this important position. Also, Mr. Scott will be leaving us due to transportation issues. We wish him the best and wish he lived closer, so that he could continue at our school...and I know he wishes that, as well! The part-time PE position has been posted, as well. If you know of excellent candidates for any of the open positions, please have them forward their resume to me at kdempsey@hrrsjda.org. The information for the job postings can be found at Indeed.com (search Holy Rosary Regional School).


I know that the Lord will continue to bless the work we are doing by sending us some amazing new people, as He has done in the past few years. He and the Blessed Mother definitely look after us!! Thank you for your prayers!
