We are sad to announce that Ms. Raquel Dominguez Millan, a valued member of our teaching staff, has decided to leave Holy Family to spend more time with her family. Her last day with us will be December 12.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the dedication, hard work, and positive impact Ms. Millan has had on both students and colleagues during her time at Holy Family. Her contributions to the Spanish program have been invaluable, and she will be greatly missed. We will begin the process of securing a replacement and we will update you along the way.

Holy Family's Home and School Assciation is hosting our annual Muffins with Mom on Friday, November 17. Join us for coffee and a muffin with your student in the cafeteria before school beginning at 7:30 AM. Contact Courtney Peirce at courtneypeirce@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.

As the Christmas season approaches, we want to share an initiative undertaken by HASA to express appreciation for our dedicated teachers and staff. HASA has will be collecting contributions for a gesture of gratitude to show our educators how much we value and appreciate their hard work. Families are encouraged to participate, either financially and/or with a handwritten note from your child to express the spirit of the season. The intention behind this initiative is to unite our efforts in recognizing the incredible contributions of our teaching staff. The heartfelt support expressed by your family is truly priceless! Questions can be directed to Heather Phillips at heather041203@gmail.com.

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.
