Weekly News Update October 28th-November 1st + Parking Lot Reminder!November is almost upon us here at Holy Cross School, and with that comes some friendly reminders about morning and after school pick up/drop off. A reminder that during morning/after school drop off, when you are entering our parking lot off of Gentian, please turn to the RIGHT to go around the parking stalls, following the fence around the community center field, to drop your children off just in front of the yellow poles. Still, please do NOT park in the no-parking area. After you have dropped them off continue to drive back toward Genthon Street to exit our parking lot. This will assist in traffic flow in the AM and PM. In addition, during AM drop off please do not double park in the back alley to drop your children off, you can drive right to the back door of the school, let your children out and then continue on your way, please be patient and do not drop your children off directly by the poles and if there is a car ahead of your please wait for them to complete thier drop off before moving your car forward.
Should any parents wish to assist with traffic flow in the AM or PM please email Mr. Bourquin @ brettbourquin@holycrossschool.mb.ca to let him know. Thank you.

Weekly Update June 17th-21stDear Holy Cross Families,
In preparation for the end of the school year, we are letting you know that your child’s next grade teacher’s name will be written on their report card and therefore the report cards need to be picked up on the last day of school. The school office will close as of July 5th and if the report cards are not picked up, we will not be informing people over the phone which teacher your child will have for September. That is the purpose of writing the name on the report cards. The school office will only reopen on August 26, 2024.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Sincerely,
Holy Cross School Team
