HFRCS Newsletter SY2021-2022
December 14, 2021 - Vol.1 Issue 17
From the Principal's Office
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the Christmas holidays, I am asking everyone to be extra careful about monitoring their child’s health before making the decision to send them to school. As we come off the Thanksgiving holiday, we have seen an increase in illness and COVID cases. Since we want everyone to be healthy and well for Christmas, I ask you to please read and reacquaint yourself with the Monitoring Health and COVID Checklist as listed in our Health and Safety Plan. Those areas are highlighted in the attachment below.
Many thanks to everyone who responded to our Middle States survey. Your feedback assists us in our planning for our Middle States Reaccreditation visit which is scheduled for next fall. Just to clarify, many respondents commented on the Holy Family Regional CYO program. CYO and school are two separate entities and CYO is a program of the parish, not the school.
Our Christmas Pageants signify the beauty and tradition of the season. Please see the Pageant flyer in today’s newsletter with important information regarding date, time, attire, and guest limits for each Pageant. We hope you are able to attend!
May God bless all our Holy Family families during this hopeful season of Advent!
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Haggerty
Artsonia

From the Enrollment Office
Merry Christmas! While we are excited for the holiday season at Holy Family, we are equally excited for our Open House on January 30th. All of our families are invited and encouraged to come and speak with teachers, tour their children's classrooms, and enjoy an afternoon with members of our community as we celebrate Holy Family and catholic education.
Don't forget to let us know if you plan on enrolling another child next school year! Thank you and have a great rest of your week!
