As the year winds down, we get to celebrate with fun activities as as school family. Our fourth graders went on a field trip to the Natural History Museum in Lawrence, Kansas and our Kindergarten through Third grade classes went and learned all about animals at the Kansas City Zoo this week. These interactive learning experiences are a great way to continue our students academic growth these last few weeks of school. Thank you for planning such fun field trips, teachers!

The students and staff gathered in their last Faith Families for the year as our 8th graders will be graduating next week. We had lunch together and signed yearbooks. God gave us a beautiful day to spend together and we are so grateful.

We had many other celebrations as well. We honored our Nurses and Teachers! We would celebrate them all the time if we could because they are that awesome! We are so blessed with the best staff. Thanks for all you do to help our kids be successful!

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mom's in our life! We are so blessed with all the wonderful mother's in our community! Thanks for all you do!

Middle School Parents,

Holy Cross Catholic School middle school students are required to provide their own Chromebook device for use at school and at home for homework. This is part of their school supply list. It will be something they use multiple times a day, every day.

Below is a list of devices that would work for our system and what they will be doing in class. These are just a few options. You are welcome to choose whatever device you see fit for your child as long as it is a Chromebook. If you find another device and want to double check it will work please email me at lloeffert@holycrosscatholicschool.com.

Chromebook device options for Holy Cross Students:

Acer Chomebook Spin 513 Convertible Laptop

Acer Spin Chromebook

Dell Chromebook

HP Chromebook

HP 360 Chromebook

I would also recommend a carrying case for the chromebook. I have seen many chromebooks fall on the floor, get jostled around, and not cared for as well as we would hope. Having a case to place the Chromebook in while switching classes could increase the longevity of the device.

Students are required to have this device on the first day of school and it will be connected to the system for the duration of their time at Holy Cross.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
