Dear Rose Park Friends,
Faith Like A Child.
What a wonderful theme we have been able to discuss this year in our classrooms, chapels, outdoor learning spaces and on our field trips. Parents, we have loved and prayed over, lost sleep about and celebrated with, each of your children this year. As we ponder our theme we have also seen each of your students be teachers as they put their faith on display for the world to see. Your precious children. All 387 of them have impacted us deeply as we watch them live into childlike faith. We pray that their tender roots sown into Jesus’ care will grow deeply and remain strong for their lifetime. These dear ones in turn bring us the joy of Christ and inspire an authentic and true faith in our good, good Father. Your children have been imprinted our hearts. Whether they return to our care at Rose Park next year or God’s design for their lives takes them elsewhere, they will be held forever in our hearts. Thank you for entrusting them to the care of the loving staff at Rose Park!
God’s blessings, safety and joy-filled memories be yours this summer!

Class Lists and Staffing Details
We are waiting for enrollment numbers to be finalized in order to confirm section numbers and teachers at each grade level. As soon as we am able, we will share teacher’s names with you in all of our kindergarten through fifth grade classes. Our expectation is to publish class lists for you early in July. Thank you for your patience and trust in this important process.
Medication Pick up
If your child has medication at school, an email will be coming to you regarding pick up. Medication is not stored at school through the summer. All medications need to be picked up by our last day of school, Wednesday, June 5.
Yearbook Orders
Our 24-25 yearbooks will be distributed the last week of school to those who ordered them. These orders were placed during our school picture days. If you missed ordering your child a yearbook for this year, and you would still like to, you may still order a yearbook through Geskus.
Enrollment & Medical Paperwork 24-25
All students entering preschool, kindergarten, and new transfers have a variety of paperwork that needs to be filled out and turned in by August , 2024:
Please be sure your child entering these grades is up to date on all immunizations, and if you are pursuing an immunization waiver through your county health department, please call them for an appointment ASAP as appointments fill up quickly. These documents are due to the Rose Park office by Wednesday, August 7. Alternatively they can be dropped off at the administration office on 40th Street.
