Head of School Linda Trethewey closed with remarks to the student body regarding the global pandemic which quickly swept across our world and overnight changed the landscape of teaching and learning for the entire third trimester of the school year:
“When we left school after Field Day on March 13th, we didn’t expect that this would be for the rest of the school year. But in true Rosarian style, we have risen to the occasion. The faculty and staff swiftly changed classroom platforms and became model distance-learning teachers. You as students have had to become more independent as learners…We missed our farewells, but the coronavirus has given us time to slow down and remember that all things are guided by God, not man.”
