Holy Cross Catholic School

We hope everyone's summer is off to a great start! Our Summer Camps start next week. It feels much longer than a week that we have been out of school, so we are ready to hear the sweet voices of the students return in the hallways.

We wanted to provide a few updates on two more staffing changes for the 24-25 school year.

Ms. Makayla Scott has accepted a full-time music teacher position for next year. She has done such an amazing job with our students and it was great to see her grow as a teacher. She did such a wonderful job building our students musical talents and sharing them with confidence. She really can put on quite the concert and we will miss her gifts that she shared with us. We will miss her so much, but wish her all the best in the future. We know she will continue to help change the world!

Miss Yessica Olivas has been a wonderful asset to our school community this year. She was dedicated to getting to know not only our students but our Holy Cross family. It was so fun to watch her grow as a teacher and we know she is off to do amazing work in the future. La mejor de las suertes, Senorita Olivas.

Holy Cross has been working hard to find the best teachers for our students. We have some great candidates. New staff announcements coming soon!

Have a wonderful weekend!

We highly recommend and encourage ALL of our students to continue their academic progress this summer. Each grade level team has created requirements for each grade level band. If the students complete the following requirements and have parent verification, they will receive a McDonald's lunch as a reward in the fall. If they create a single bingo on the summer bingo board, they will receive an ice cream.

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.
