INTRODUCING OUR "NEW" TEACHERS
New Website
ORIENTATIONS- Meet the teacher!
If you want to participate, you will visit them all and see what you can learn and receive a stamp on your paper. This is of course optional. If you do not wish to participate, just pick up your forms and visit the classrooms of your children. All completed forms (this means that you have visited all areas indicated) will be entered into a drawing for a small prize.
Remember, the idea is not the prize, it is taking advantage of the opportunity to visit all around the school and meet staff that you might not otherwise meet. Please bring your patience and a positive attitude as we expect a great turnout!
Orientation Schedule:
Thursday, August 17th 6PM to 8PM
Friday, August 18th 12PM to 3PM
Note....You may bring school supplies to school to orientation, but please have them all together in a bag, labeled with your students name and only leave the items that are kept at school.

School Uniform Policy and Dress Code
Sunshine-Wear Uniforms is the official uniform provider for Holy Cross Lutheran School. Students in K5 and up should purchase uniforms from Sunshine-Wear.
Remember that every student in K5 thru 8th grade must purchase ONE RED POLO SHIRT. Other than that, you may choose any items that are approved.
K5 thru 8th: Shoes must be black, white or navy and may have a small logo. Soles can be black, white or navy. If your student does not know how to tie their shoes independently, buy velcro closure shoes. Socks may be solid black, white, grey or navy.
PK and K4: Shoes MUST HAVE velcro closures.
Students in PK and K4 purchase all uniform items at Holy Cross beginning August 1st. Please note that all PK and K4 students need to wear the pull-on athletic shorts and Early childhood tshirts that are purchased in the main office. Shoes must have velcro closures.
Sunshine Wear is located at 16345 NW 57th Ave, Miami Lakes, FL 33014
Telephone: (305) 521-9166
Hours: Tuesday-Friday, 10AM to 6PM; Sat. 10AM to 4PM
July and August: Tuesday-Saturday 10AM to 6PM
If you missed the two chances to conveniently shop here at Holy Cross, you now have to shop online or drive to Miami Lakes and visit the store. Please do not wait until the last minute to shop at Sunshine-Wear or you should be prepared to wait. Shop early and have a pleasant experience. If you wish a hard copy of the dress code, please visit the school office, our website or click on the link below.
If you have uniforms that your child has outgrown and you would like to donate them, please bring them to the school office in clean and usable condition. We also are seeking donations of old but still usable backpacks for a local charity.

Service Hour Opportunities
On Wednesday, August 16th, volunteers from our church and school and our staff will come together to get some work done on our grounds and in our classrooms. There is plenty to do and we need your help! This is an awesome opportunity for parents to begin earning their service hours for the year. We will feed you a simple meal. Community Work Night is Wednesday, August 16th, 5PM to 8PM but come when you are able. Come first to the school office to sign in and you will be given an assignment /room to help in.
We still need more Breakfast volunteers. This position is from 7:20AM to 8:05AM, 45 minutes per day. If you enjoy being around kids and can make this commitment, please contact Mrs. Mackey so we can discuss it further and how it can be mutually beneficial. This requires commitment. Two more volunteers are needed.
I have an at home project for a parent to do who is crafty. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Mackey or Ms. Sejba in the school office.
