COVID UPDATE
As you now know, GRACE and the Board of Trustees have approved our site plan making masking required when in common spaces or close contact to start the 21-22 school year. All visitors are required to wear masks at all times while in the building. Masking is also required on school buses per the CDC order. Some general practices that will continue include monitoring symptoms of your child(ren) and keeping home if sick, promoting hand washing and etiquette with coughing and sneezing, routine cleaning and disinfecting of common surfaces, and encouraging consideration of COVID vaccination based on your physician’s recommendation.
- Students MUST have a mask each day. We are already running low on spares in the office, so please send your child to school with one from home. We suggest putting a second mask in a plastic bag in your student's backpack.
-
Please keep your children home if they have symptoms (see below). Our families did a fantastic of job this last year and it's a critical key piece to keeping us here in person.
- It's interesting to note that the few diagnosed Covid cases we have seen here at Holy Family both this year and last have appeared to be allergies!

CHANGE IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE? |
If your child regularly rides the bus home from school but is not going to be riding one afternoon, please email or call the office before 2:00 PM to let us know. There are a lot of moving parts at dismissal and we need your help to keep our lists accurate. |

HOLY FAMILY EVENT CALENDAR
Please take some time to look through our amazing events calendar. Our teachers are doing the same and looking for a chance to connect with families outside of school! It's a great way to connect with other HFS families, especially the ones your student has been coming home talking about.
Please follow these steps to learn more about the efforts, events, and process.
Taking part in experiences and hosting events can count toward your TSF hours. Come have fun, meet new people, have a great experience, and earn your hours while you do it!

Gather together at St. Agnes Church to pray the Liturgy of the Hours on Monday mornings after drop off and Fridays before dismissal. Please enter Church through Door # 4
What is Liturgy of the Hours? This prayer is also known as the Divine Office. It is a beautiful tradition in the Church and highly encouraged for all! Since there are prayers for different times of the day, it is beautiful to consider how many others are praying the same prayers, at the same time, joining together for a relationship with God and one another. Also, it is a wonder to consider that these are the prayers that Jesus Himself prayed.
