End-of-school-year, 2020-2021

Congratulations to our departing eighth-graders; it was great to be able to see you receive your certificates with an in-person promotion ceremony. Best wishes for next school year, everybody, at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts. And whatever else you do this summer, be sure to log the time you spend reading for our public library’s Summer Reading Challenge.

Turn in textbooks and library books

We only have a few more days until the end of the school-year. Students, if you have textbooks or library books at home, be sure to turn them back in. And teachers, if students are bringing these books to your classrooms, please make sure that I have an opportunity to scan them off students’ accounts.

Scholastic Book Fair at SRCSA

Our socially distanced, in-person Scholastic Book Fair takes place from May 12 to 14, 2021. You can also purchase books online.
