COVID-19
We anticipate 21-22 will look and feel much more like a typical school year. With regard to COVID-19, the following guidance is currently in place:
- Masks will continue to be optional for students and staff who wish to wear them.
- All classes will be held fully in-person and will not be live-streamed.
- We ask that families monitor for COVID-19 symptoms, and please keep children home when they are sick.
- Families will be notified if exposure to a positive case of COVID-19 occurs during school.
Nutrition Services
NO-COST MEALS will continue to be available for all Holy Family K-12 students in the 2021-2022 school year through the USDA's "Seamless Summer Program."
Current student lunch account balances will carry forward unless funds are used to purchase items in addition to the regular lunch, including second helpings, ala carte options, extra milk, etc. If your student has a negative balance or plans to purchase additional items, please make a payment on your child's lunch account using e-Funds or send a check to school with your child.
PLEASE NOTE: Families who are eligible for free and reduced/priced meals should still complete the application form to be eligible for other programs such as P-EBT (temporary emergency nutrition benefit cards that can be used to purchase food). This will also ensure continuity of free/reduced meals if/when the "Seamless Summer Program" comes to an end.
Visit our Nutrition Services page for information about how to apply for free and reduced lunches as well as standard meal charges and the medical statement for special dietary needs.
