​
” It is our responsibility to remind all families that the Immigration Naturalization Services will not permit a student to attend classes who is in the country on a Tourist (B-1 or B-2) Visa. Ordinarily a family wishing that their child come to this country to study applies for a student Visa (F-1) before they are allowed to attend classes in a school in the United States. A school is not allowed to enroll into the school a child who is in the country on a tourist (B-1 or B-2) Visa.

Parental Responsibility
If we are to fulfill our mission at Holy Family Catholic School, parents are reminded that their responsibility extends far beyond the payment of tuition. The influence of a school for transmitting Christian values and principles is dependent upon the commitment of the home and family to support these same values. Catholic Parents sending their child/ren to Holy Family Catholic School are expected to demonstrate this commitment by regular weekly attendance at Mass, the continuing example of a genuine Christian lifestyle, and the regular use of the parish envelope support system.
