We are still missing a few commitment forms for CYO camp in April. I just need to confirm numbers so we can lock down logistics for cabins and chaperones. For more information on CYO Camp, you can visit this website:

Registration: Thank you to all families who have completed ALL registration paperwork (including the financial agreement/contract) AND paid the registration fee. If you have all of that done, you are ready to go for next year!! As a couple of our grades are either wait-listed or almost wait-listed, if you have not completed the documents and paid your fee, please contact Berenice immediately to discuss your status at this point. You can reach her at office@hrrsjda.org or 253-272-7012. Some families who have not completed everything will now be wait-listed, as the enrollment window officially opened for all new families on Monday, Feb. 29th.
Spirit Gear Reminders: The ONLY options for Spirit Gear are the following:
- Spirit shirt or Spirit sweatshirt
- Nice jeans (no tears, no rips, not too tight) or uniform pants
Please remember: All students not in an adult-sponsored activity (orchestra, tutoring, etc.) must either be picked up by 3:15 or they will be sent to Extended Care (and families will be charged).
