Holy Family Updates
January 18, 2023
Dear HFRCS Families,
Almost all of our students have worked extremely hard and completed the Reading i-Ready Diagnostic Assessment. This is going to help us not only track their growth but also know their “glows” and “grows.” They will be completing the Math Diagnostic tomorrow and Friday and we are confident that they will continue their hard work and success!
Catholic Schools Week is rapidly approaching and we have quite a few things planned that week. An overview of the week is listed below.
Sunday - 9:30am HFRCS Staff attending 9:30 mass at St. Joe’s; 10:30-12:00 Open House at the school
Monday - Decades Dress Down; CSW Kahoot! Game for prizes
Tuesday - Colors & Crazy Hair Dress Down; Teacher Lunch & Prizes
Wednesday - Student Choice Dress Down; Student Prizes: Prayer Partner Bingo; Band Concert
Thursday - PJ's Dress Down; Religion Bee grades 5-8 10:00am Degnan Hall
Friday - Spirit Wear Dress Down; 8th Grade Volleyball Game 1pm Degnan Hall
Thank you,
Mr. Elia
