The Parent Meeting is Tuesday, February 7th at 7pm. It will take place in Degnan Hall. We will be covering several topics including financials, enrollment, the Board of Limited Jurisdiction, an overview of our strategic plan moving forward, and current news regarding Holy Family.

COVID Policy Reminder

At Holy Family, our number one priority will always be the safety of our students, staff, and families. We have seen an increase number of positive cases among students the last three days. Nothing to panic about, but we must make sure we are following proper protocols and taking necessary precautions. If we do not work together, we may be facing a mask mandate and/or possible virtual days if the numbers continue to rise.


As a reminder, our COVID Policy is below. So, please make sure you monitor for symptoms.

Everyone will follow the same procedures regardless of their vaccination status.


If you are exposed to someone who is positive with COVID-19

- There is no quarantine period, but masks will be strongly recommended.


If you live with a person(s) who has tested positive for COVID-19

- There is no quarantine period, but masks will be required. The length of time will be confirmed by Nurse Victoria.


If you test positive for COVID-19

- You must contact Nurse Victoria immediately. You will isolate for at least 5 days and be able to return after that time period if you are free of fever and your overall symptoms have improved. Nurse Victoria will confirm your return date and when you will be able to return to being mask optional.


Please do not hesitate to contact myself or Nurse Victoria if you have any questions or concerns.
