PARKING LOT SAFETY! SLOW DOWN!

PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY when entering the school parking lot. There is ONE SINGLE line as you enter; be patient and follow the line around to drop your child off by the gate where the patrol is standing. Also, drop your child on closest side to the school (passenger side of car) to prevent a

 child from having to cross in front of cars. It may take an extra minute or two for you to drop your child off by slowing down, but remember that the safety of our children is worth much more a minute of your time.

 

FIRST COMMUNION

The First Communion ceremony will be held on Sunday, April 23, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.  If you would like your child to receive First Communion this year, please call the office to register your child.  Remember, your child must be Catholic, baptized, in third grade, attending Holy Family for at least two

 years. We will begin classes on Monday, February 21, 2022 from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. with Deacon Carlos Ramirez.

 does not pay the full tuition and parents are responsible for the balance. Do not ignore the email or the date payment is due, you will be charged a late fee.

This is normally the time we start planning for reregistration for the upcoming school year. Registration for next school year will begin middle to end of March.  No student will be allowed to register for the next school year or get final report cards and teacher recommendation if there is a balance.

EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS

It is extremely important that the school is able to reach a parent and provide them with information that is necessary to keep your children safe and to help you stay informed. The best way to communicate is through phone calls and emails especially in this time of social distancing and online learning.   PLEASE! READ YOUR EMAIL!
