Welcome to Santa Rita

Welcome to Santa Rita! By sending your child to Santa Rita Elementary School, you are joining a diverse and active community! We are happy to have you here. Starting a new school is a very overwhelming experience, but here are a few resources to help you:

• Welcome Letter and more information about Santa Rita.


• New Family Orientation Screencast, narrated by Mrs. McGonagle.
  
  
• Buddy Family Program
  
  

  The New Family Committee recently launched the Buddy Family Program. The program is designed to help families that are new to Santa Rita. New and existing families are paired up so the new family has someone they can go to when they have questions about Santa Rita. The existing family is asked to "show them the ropes," help introduce the family, and check in with them to be sure their transition to Santa Rita is as easy as possible. The effort will be made to match families whose children are in the same grade to allow for playdates and meeting new friends.
