Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School - an INDEPENDENCE MISSION SCHOOL

Welcome to our school! For over 80 years, Saint Rose of Lima has been an urban Catholic school that is committed to the students, parents and community in which we serve. We prepare and nurture students of all faiths to be caring, responsible and well-rounded citizens of character with a life-long passion for learning, service and living Gospel values. While conscious of the need to prepare our children for success in a rapidly changing and technology-driven world, we recognize that "the soul of education is the education of the soul". (Pope Pius XI)

Sister Rita James Murphy, I.H.M.

CHAPERONE REQUIREMENTS FOR FIELD TRIPS

CHAPERONE REQUIREMENTS FOR FIELD TRIPS

A number of classes are in the process of planning field trips in May and teachers will be asking for parents to volunteer as “chaperones”. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia requires that chaperones, as well as anyone who works with children in school, have a criminal record check and child abuse clearance. The criminal record check can be completed on-line at https://epatch.state.pa.us/home.isp. You will need a credit card on hand for the fee which is $10. The child abuse clearance form can be downloaded at http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/Resources/Documents/Pdf/FillInForms/DPWchildabuse.pdf
but must be mailed to directly Harrisburg with a money order for the fee.

Enrollment occurs when a parent/guardian goes onto www.mytads.com and goes to the ENROLLMENT TAB. You will be
