We are very excited to begin our new school year. We would like to welcome the new teachers and new students to our Holy Spirit family.

School starts at 8:10 am and all students must arrive in full uniform. They will be met by their homeroom teacher in the parking lot at 8:10. Dismissal is 3 pm. Students will need to bring their own lunch on September 8th and 9th. The hot lunch program will begin on Monday, September 12th. School begins for PreK-3 and PreK-4 on Monday, September 12th. It will be a full day of school. You will be receiving more information from the PreK teachers in the very near future. Physical Education classes will begin the week of September 12th. Children must begin to wear gym uniforms to school on their gym day starting that week. Gym days will be Mondays for grades KB, KH, 1, 3, 4 and 5 and Tuesdays for Pre-K 4 and grades 2, 6, 7 and 8.
