Dear Parents and Guardians, 

We are certainly enjoying the beautfiul weather lately. It's been nice enough for our students to have lunch outside almost every day. Here is a video of our awesome 3rd grade class having lunch outside.

We hope to keep enjoying this comfortable weather but we know the cold weather will be here soon and the season of colds and cold like symptoms will follow. During this time it will be important to keep your child home until these symptoms go away. We are working on ways to keep your child learning if he or she is well enough to do eLearning from home during his or her absence. We hope to send you more information on the remote learning resources we have available for our students next week.

Remember showing up for school has a huge impact on a student's academic success beginning in Pre-K. Let's start building good attendance habits by coming to school and being on time everyday.

This week we continue to send home important information. This week your child should will bring home the following:

Internet Agreement Form PK-8 grade - As a condition of being allowed the Holy Cross School computer network students and parents must agree to comply with all Diocesan and school policies regarding the internet use. Please read the agreement and sign BOTH page 2 and 3. We will need a form for EACH child in the house.

Milk Orders - If you have not yet submitted your milk order and/or payment, please do so as soon as possible. Payment for milk must be made by separate check or money order (not combined with another type of fee or payment). Please make your check payable to Holy Cross School. Remember Pre-K students may only have WHITE milk served at snack and lunch.

Choice Scholarship Endorsement Forms - Families who received a School Choice Scholarship this school year will receive their Endorsement Forms today. Please read the letter carefully to see if you need to sign and return the form.

This school year our drinking water fountains are unavailable, we do have water cooler dispensers where students can refill their water bottles from. Please send your child with a refillable water bottle every day. Disposable waters cannot be refilled since the opening is not wide enough for water to be poured in.

This week our 7th grade class will plan and attend the mass with the 1st grade Traditional class. If you have a child in either of those grades, you are welcome to come and celebrate Mass in the church, otherwise you can view the live-stream Mass via Zoom, please look for the link later in this newsletter.
 

Have a blessed week!

Queridos padres y guardianes,

Ciertamente estamos disfrutando del hermoso clima últimamente. Ha sido bastante agradable para nuestros estudiantes almorzar afuera casi todos los días. Aquí hay un video de nuestra linda clase de 3er grado almorzando afuera.

Esperamos seguir disfrutando de este clima tan agradable, pero sabemos que el clima frío llegará pronto y seguirá la temporada de resfriados y síntomas similares a los del resfriado. Durante este tiempo, será importante mantener a su hijo en casa hasta que desaparezcan estos síntomas. Estamos trabajando en formas de mantener a su hijo aprendiendo si es que se siente bien para hacer eLearning desde casa durante su ausencia. Esperamos enviarle más información sobre los recursos de aprendizaje remoto que tenemos disponibles para nuestros estudiantes la próxima semana.

Recuerde que asistir a la escuela tiene un gran impacto en el éxito académico de un estudiante a partir del Pre-Kínder. Comencemos a desarrollar buenos hábitos de asistencia viniendo a la escuela y llegando a tiempo todos los días.

Esta semana continuamos enviando a casa información importante. Esta semana su hijo debe traer a casa lo siguiente:

Formulario de Acuerdo de Internet PK-8 grado - Como condición para poder acceder a la red informática de la Escuela Holy Cross, los estudiantes y los padres deben estar de acuerdo en cumplir con todas las políticas diocesanas y escolares con respecto al uso de Internet. Por favor lea el acuerdo y firme AMBAS páginas 2 y 3. Necesitaremos un formulario para CADA niño en la casa.

Pedidos de leche - si aún no ha enviado su pedido de leche y / o pago, hágalo lo antes posible. Recuerde que los estudiantes de Pre-Kínder solo pueden recibir leche BLANCA en la merienda y el almuerzo.

School Choice Scholarship Endorsement Forms-  las familias que recibieron una beca de Choice este año escolar recibirán sus formularios de aprobación hoy. Lea la carta para ver si necesita firmar y devolver el formulario.

Este año escolar, nuestras fuentes de agua no están disponibles, tenemos dispensadores de agua donde los estudiantes pueden rellenar sus botellas de agua. Envíe a su hijo con una botella de agua todos los días. Las aguas en empaque desechables no se pueden rellenar ya que la abertura no es lo suficientemente ancha para que se pueda verter agua.

Esta semana, nuestra clase de séptimo grado planificará y asistirá a la misa con la clase tradicional de primer grado. Si tiene un hijo en cualquiera de esos grados, puede venir a celebrar la Misa en la iglesia; de lo contrario, puede ver la Misa en vivo a través de Zoom, busque el enlace más adelante en este boletín.
 

¡Que tengan una semana bien bendecida!

As I mentioned in my pastor’s column last Sunday, with Father Vincent serving as our new associate pastor, Father John is now in residence at Holy Cross Parish.  Along with the course on canon law and sacraments that he has been teaching at Notre Dame for the past several years, he was asked to teach a second course, an introduction to canon law, while continuing the liturgical assistance he has been offering for years to the parishes in the South Bend area of the diocese, along with whatever additional ministries the Congregation of Holy Cross will assign him in the future.

Father John has always had a keen interest in liturgy and sacraments, and so he took charge of maintaining, decorating, setting up and ordering supplies for the church, doing intakes for those seeking sacraments in the parish, presiding at the majority of our baptisms, weddings and funeral Masses, and coordinating the various liturgical ministries in the parish.  As a parish, we benefitted from Father John’s well-prepared, inspiring and exhortatory Sunday and weekday homilies.  As a member of the parish pastoral council and the parish staff and team, his input was insightful and helpful.  On a personal note, I appreciated the many times that his advice assisted me in decisions I needed to make.

Fortunately, Father John will continue to offer assistance to the parish on a limited basis as a priest in residence. Please join me in thanking him for his two years as our associate pastor and the many contributions he made to our parish liturgical, sacramental and communal life.
