HFCS Calendar

Welcome back! We are thrilled to welcome you all to another exciting year of learning and growth at our school. As we begin this new journey together, let's keep in mind the wisdom of Ephesians 4:32: "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." This verse highlights the importance of showing mercy, kindness, and compassion in everything we do.

With the Holy Spirit guiding us, let's work together to create a year filled with understanding, support, and unity. Our shared goal is to foster an environment where everyone feels valued and embraced.

Welcome back, and may this school year be a true reflection of the kindness and potential within each of us.

Warmest regards,

The Staff of Holy Family Catholic School

We want to make sure everyone stays safe when dropping off or picking up students. Here are some important rules to follow:

Parking and Safety: It's very important to be safe when you park your vehicle. Please remember:
- You can park in the drop-off lane, but don't go past the barrier sign (look at the picture for reference).
- Traffic goes both ways on the south side of the building.
- When dropping off, use angle parking only.
Longer Stays: If you need to stay longer, please find a parking spot at the back of the building. Don't use the accessible parking spots unless you have a permit.
Permit Use: Only people with permits can use the accessible parking spots. Others may be fined or have their vehicles towed.
Speed Limit: When you're in a school zone, remember the speed limit is a maximum of 30 km/h to keep everyone safe.

Thank you for following these rules to help ensure everyone's safety. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Drop off and Pick Up

For grades 1-6, our school day begins promptly at 8:25 am and concludes at 3:10 pm. Please note that there is no supervision for students outside of these hours, and they should not be left unattended in the school or playground. We kindly request parents'/guardians' support in ensuring their children arrive at school on time and are picked up or bussed home promptly at the end of the school day.

Adhering to Bill 201 – Protection of Students with Life-Threatening Allergies Act, all students with a serious or life-threatening medical condition must have a form on file in the school office indicating the condition and procedure in case of emergency.

To provide a safe and caring school for our students who have allergies, we require the cooperation of our families. We have students with severe life-threatening food allergies (anaphylaxis) to peanuts and all nut products. Please DO NOT send any items containing peanut butter or nut products in your child’s lunch or for classroom treats.

Children with allergies requiring an epi-pen MUST carry it with them at all times. It is the parents’ responsibility to inform the school of allergies and ensure that their child’s epi-pen has not expired.
