Dear Parents,


Progress reports for grades 2nd -8th were sent out via email earlier today. RenWeb is now enabled.


We are looking forward to our first grade level Mass honoring our 8th grade on Sunday, September 18, 2022, (10:00 a.m. Mass) at the Church of the Holy Spirit. We hope that you join us regardless if your child is in the 8th grade, as we want to celebrate Mass as a community. All HSCS students who attend are asked to wear their Mass uniform. Father will be providing a special blessing to our 8th grade class. In addition, all CYO athletes will also receive a blessing from Father.  


Luby's lunch ordering is now open on RenWeb and will close on Sunday, September 18, 2022 at midnight. This order is for the weeks of September 26th - October 7th. Important Lunch Ordering Information:

  1. After you submit payment, the order must turn blue. If it remains red, the order did not get processed.
  2. Daily Meals and Sandwich Packs come with a drink (white milk, chocolate milk, apple juice, or a water bottle). Students get to select their drink in the cafeteria (or parents in PK3-3 have filled out their drink preference form). We are noticing that parents are ordering a specific drink even when a meal or sandwich pack has been purchased. Please note, this costs an extra $2. It is ok if you want your child to have 2 drinks, but is not needed if the meal or pack is purchased. 


Last week, we sent out an email regarding our after school clubs. Great news - we made some updates! We are excited to announce that 3rd-5th grade students are now eligible to participate in the Gardening Club. In addition, as previously announced, 3rd grade can also participate in the Guitar Ensemble. There are only 4 remaining spots available (of 25) for this semester's Guitar Ensemble - so sign up today! Please see the link below.


On Tuesday, October 4, 2022, we will be celebrating Solidarity Day along side our brothers and sisters across the Archdiocese. We are offering our community the opportunity to pre-order an orange HSCS Solidarity shirt. Pre-orders will be closing on Sunday, September 18, 2022 at midnight. See the information listed below. 


I am honored to be of service to each of you, so if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

 

Blessings,

Lisa Rosenfeld

Solidarity Day: Kind Like Jesus


On Tuesday, October 4, 2022, all Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of San Antonio are joining together by wearing "orange" to unite in faith, hope, and love against bullying.


HSCS students may wear an orange shirt, and or bow, with uniform shorts, slacks, or skirts on this day.  

 

HSCS will be selling Solidarity T-shirts that read "Kind like Jesus" (see the graphic shown). These t-shirts can be worn on Tuesday, October 4, 2022, and every Friday in October 2022. Pre-orders can be placed online by clicking the link below. Pre-orders will close on Sunday, September 18, 2022, at midnight.


Please note the Solidarity t-shirts are not mandatory. We are merely offering them as a convenience for parents. An orange t-shirt may also be worn with uniform bottoms on Tuesday, October 4, 2022. We will be taking a school photo with all students, faculty, and staff on that day.

This school year, Holy Spirit Catholic School is starting a parent volunteer safety program. We call ourselves The Flames Parent Initiative. THE FPI!


This program is designed to be an extra set of eyes and ears around the campus when our children are at Mass and recess. Our mission is to give teachers, staff, children, and parents extra peace of mind with our presence. There are shifts during the day that you can sign up for and you can volunteer as much as you want or if you can only volunteer one time, this is ok too. Each volunteer must complete the Virtus training online before they will be able to sign up for shifts. FPI is in the works on organizing training for all volunteers and that information will be provided soon. 


For more information please email Chris Buckley either in person or through email at [email protected]

Box Tops For Education


Did you know that every time you grocery shop there are opportunities for you to submit "Box Tops" that will help HSCS earn money?


All you need is your phone! Download the Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then use the app to scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase. The app will identify Box Tops products on your receipt and automatically credit your school’s earnings online. Twice a year, HSCS will receive a check and we can use that cash to buy whatever we need! 


Click here to learn how you can contribute while you grocery shop this school year. If you have any questions please contact, Allison Ellis, PTC BoxTops Chairperson, via email at [email protected]. This user-friendly process is made so that you can shop and help HSCS at the same time.
