Good morning HFCR Families, 

I hope you all had a wonderful summer in light of the pandemic. We have been working tirelessly all summer to make the best decisions for our HFCR community for the 2020-21 school year. Below please take note of these very important updates as we prepare for the first day of school:

The first day of school will remain as Monday, August 24th.  
The first quarter will be distance learning only via HF Cristo Rey Connect. We will keep you updated during the first grading period of the plans as we continue to receive information regarding COVID cases from health officials. 

Parent Meeting
There will be a parent meeting on Tuesday, August 18th at 6 PM via Zoom. All parents are strongly encouraged to attend as we will provide pertinent information regarding expectations for distance learning, scheduling, Google Classroom logistics and much more. A link will be emailed to you on Monday. Please make plans to attend! 

Grade Level Orientation
We will host grade level orientation sessions via Zoom next week. Every scholar is required to attend their designated session as this will provide information on what to expect during the first quarter, as well as the rest of the school year. Each scholar will receive their Zoom link to their HFCR email address on Friday, August 14th.
