Dear HFS Families,
Many of us are struggling to make the right decision for our families regarding our children’s education this year. Never did I think that I would be in the position that I am, trying to decide how we are going open and creating a plan that keeps us all safe. Additionally the plan must ensure we maintain the academic rigor and integrity that you have come to expect from Holy Family School. Please know that we continue to use available data and information in developing our plan, and as it evolves, I will keep you informed.
I invite you to another Zoom meeting next week to discuss the current plan for the 2020-2021 school year. We will meet on Wednesday, 7/22 at 1:00PM and then again at 6:00PM. We will focus more specifically on what we are doing at HFS rather than the general plan for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The Zoom invitation will be sent out next week.
Please know that I understand how difficult this has been. We are here to support you and your children, and I am so thankful and appreciative of the support you have been providing us.
Staffing Update
Mrs. Karen DeSimone will not be returning next year, as she is moving toward new opportunities. We wish her luck in her future endeavors.
Mrs. Norma Hull will be returning as our new PreK teacher. As many of you know, Mrs. Hull previously taught Kindergarten here at Holy Family, and she rejoined our staff as part of the PreK team last January.
Uniform Update
I neglected to mention in my last communication that the girls may opt to wear either the white or maroon golf shirt for the fall/summer uniforms.
Registration
I understand that we are in uncertain times, but we still have a number of families who have not yet registered. I am asking that you put your faith in us and register your child(ren) for the upcoming year. If we don’t have definitive numbers, it is very difficult to make staffing decisions. Please click here to begin the process. If you’d like a paper copy, please email Mrs. Martino at office@myholyfamilyschool.org. If you have any questions or concerns regarding registration, please feel free to contact me at jdamelio@myholyfamilyschool.org.
Financial Aid
In addition to beginning the registration process, I would like to remind you that financial aid is available. Click here for more information or contact Mrs. Bahr at sbahr@myholyfamilyschool.org.
Office Hours
For the month of July, our office will be open Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00AM-2:00PM.
I am praying for you all during this difficult time. I look forward to seeing and working with you and your children again. “Rely on the mighty Lord; constantly seek His face” (1 Chronicles 16:11). Stay safe, and stay healthy!
Peace and Joy,
Mrs. Jennifer D’Amelio
