Report Cards

Students' report cards will be posted to TigerNet on January 5, 2026. Families can view a full report of the student's grades and his teacher’s comments at any time under Assignments and then Reports.

MAP Testing

Winter MAP testing will take place from January 5 through January 8, 2026. Students in grades 2 through 12 will take the reading, language, and math tests. Students in grades K and 1 will take the reading and math tests.

Students in grades 4 through 12 should remember to bring their fully charged devices to school for MAP testing.

Families, please help your sons to score their best by discussing with them the importance of concentrating and giving their best effort. A good night's sleep and a good breakfast in the morning will help your son to do well! Remember, Holy Cross Educators use these test scores to place students in their next year's classes.

Br. Andre Service Society

Collection Drive

The Brother Andre Service Society is once again collecting aluminum pop tabs from soft drink/food item cans to benefit our local Ronald McDonald House and the good work they do on behalf of families with critically ill children.

Just pop those tabs, save them, and send them to Mrs. Allerton in Room M211. There are also collection containers in front of the Middle School and High School Offices. Let's make a difference! Donations will be accepted through May 2026.

The Men’s Club brings together men who share a common goal: to enrich the educational experience of our students while modeling Christian male piety, integrity, generosity, and commitment. Whether you're a new dad or a long-term member of the school community, you’ll find a welcoming place to connect, contribute, and grow. We invite you to learn more about this organization at our next meeting.

Thursday, January 8 at 6:30 p.m.
