Updated Mask Policy:  

At this time, students, faculty and visitors are required to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth whenever they are inside the school buildings.  Families are strongly encouraged to have their daughters wear masks while carpooling to school. Students will be given a complimentary RK mask on the first day of school.  Students may wear their own masks of various colors and patterns.  Writing of any kind (other than R-K crest), logos, skeleton faces, images of any sort etc are not allowed on the masks.  Masks are also for sale in the Kougar Kloset. 

Each period, students will be given the opportunity to walk outside for a small break, so that they may be given a respite from wearing their masks.

Distance Learning Procedures

Rosati-Kain parents may choose distance-learning for their daughters. . Rosati-Kain teachers use Google Classroom to post assignments and videos of direct instruction. Families must carefully follow the expectation of their daughter’s respective teachers with the timely submission of assignments. Teachers may reserve the right to Zoom with students, especially for summative assessments.  If you would like for your daughter to begin the 2020-2021 school year with distance learning, please email [email protected]  by 12 p.m. on Tuesday August 4, 2020. Parents will be allowed to pick up textbooks and iPads from the main office (4389 Lindell) beginning Thursday August 6 at 10 a.m. All of the following forms must be submitted before textbooks and iPads are distributed:
