Welcome to all parents, both new and returning! As we conclude a very successful welcome-back BBQ, I want to thank the PAC and all of our wonderful parent volunteers who came out and helped make the event as successful as it was.

A reminder to start the school year for all parents, the program is open from 7 AM to 8:20 AM.

Unsupervised students will be redirected to the program. Dismissal is at 3:00 PM from the back doors for 1-8 and the front gym doors for the pre-k students and our kinder students.

Thoughts and Prayers for Holy Ghost School
Jul 26, 2024
It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Paul Trochanowski, the respected principal of Holy Ghost School, and a devoted husband and father. His dedication to education and the well-being of his students has left an indelible mark on the community. His absence will be deeply felt, and his legacy will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him. Please keep his family in your prayers.
 
Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Dear Holy Cross Families,

In preparation for the end of the school year, we are letting you know that your child’s next grade teacher’s name will be written on their report card and therefore the report cards need to be picked up on the last day of school.  The school office will close as of July 5th and if the report cards are not picked up, we will not be informing people over the phone which teacher your child will have for September.  That is the purpose of writing the name on the report cards.  The school office will only reopen on August 26, 2024.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Sincerely,

Holy Cross School Team
