2024-25 Admissions and Enrollment

Preparations are being finalized for admissions and enrollment for the 2024-25 academic year.

Current GRACE families will receive an email on January 26, 2024 with information and a link to re-enroll current students for the 2024-25 academic year.

Re-enroll children who are current students by completing the online enrollment process in its entirety.

If current GRACE families have additional (new) children, they wish to join the school in fall 2024, after re-enrolling current students, submit an online admission application for each additional child. All admission applications undergo review.

Re-enrollment is specific to the current student at his/her current GRACE school. If a family is seeking another GRACE school for the 2024-25 academic year, the family will need to submit an admission application for each child to that GRACE school beginning January 28, 2024.

Volunteering at Holy Family

Every adult who volunteers at Holy Family is required to have a current background check on file, complete a VIRTUS training course, and sign a volunteer agreement each year.

Volunteer requirements are mandated by the Diocese of Green Bay, and there are no exceptions.

We strongly encourage all parents to go through this process because opportunities to volunteer will come up quickly, and your name must be on our approved list.

The Diocese of Green Bay requires all volunteers to meet safe environment requirements. All volunteers must complete and have an approved background check every 4 years and complete online safe environment training and sign a Code of Conduct yearly. The Diocese of Green Bay is contracted with VIRTUS to comply with the USCCB Charter for the Protection of Children and Youth requirements in providing safe environments for all children and individuals at risk.

Please click on the link below to complete the requirements. Parents who are already VIRTUS trained and have a current background check need to log into their VIRTUS account to sign the annual Code of Conduct.
