Stewardship
We believe that...
-
Our students develop leadership skills that enable them to be responsible and educated citizens who serve others, especially those in need.
-
Our Catholic schools teach students to be stewards of the gifts and talents God has given them.
-
Students have a sense of responsibility for caring for the environment and all of God’s creation
-
Holy Family School practices responsible stewardship practices.
Social
We believe that...
-
Our schools are called to follow the example of Jesus Christ by teaching students to actively care for the world and serve their communities, especially those in need
-
Our students are taught to view all people as members of the family of God; we value and respect diversity within our schools
-
Holy Family School, in partnership with parents, fosters the growth of caring, compassionate individuals with strong moral consciences who follow God’s command to love one another.
The Good We Do
Each month at Holy Family School we work together as a school to raise money and awareness for local organizations that can use our help. Through giving we learn how to support our community, how the good we do can positively affect the lives of others and to show gratitude for the blessings in our life.
Visitors Policy
All parents and visitors must enter the School through its front doors, report to the Main Office, identify themselves, sign in, and wear a visitor’s badge while in the building.
Any forgotten items should be dropped off at the Main Office. Please do not deliver them directly to your child’s classroom. Parents are welcome to visit a class in session after making an appointment through the Main Office and with the Principal's approval. Teachers are unable to speak with parents during school hours when they have classroom responsibilities, as their primary obligation is to the children in their classroom and their safety. If you wish to speak with a teacher(s) or the Principal about your child, please send an email/note or call to schedule an appointment. Teachers will return your email/call within 24 hours.
Visits by parents, potential students, and tours are arranged through the Principal or designee. Please contact the Main Office to make an appointment.
