MISSION STATEMENT: St. Charles Parish School in Hartland, Wisconsin nourishes and grows a vibrant Catholic community committed to innovation, responsiveness and compassion as it prepares and challenges students in their intellectual, spiritual and moral lives.
 

Dear Parents,

We currently have five students quarantining at home due to being considered a close contact after exposure to a positive case outside of St. Charles. 

We are extremely grateful for the tremendous efforts all of our families continue to make to help keep in-person learning going and our students and staff safe. Please keep our St. Charles School community in your prayers!

We would also like to thank you for keeping your children home when they are not feeling well, even for the little things, and for erring on the side of caution when it comes to potential exposure. It is also important to keep your children home if you or anyone in your household is not feeling well, is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, and/or is being tested for COVID-19. Thank you for your understanding!


Following His plan,
Mr. Garvey

WHAT'S NEW?
Inclement Weather: Just a reminder that we follow the Arrowhead School District regarding school closures due to weather. If they close due to snow or cold, we will also close. Please make sure to check local news channels and apps for closings as well as our school website and/or Facebook page. In the event that the school needs to be closed, we will send out an email to all parents. If St. Charles does not close due to a weather-related situation and you feel travel to school is not safe, you reserve the right as a parent to keep your child home for any reason you feel is necessary. 

Spare Clothing: Please make sure your children have a change of clothing at school, particularly an extra pair of pants in their backpack and/or boot bag. We want to make sure students have a back-up pair in case they get wet during recess.

School Bus Driver Appreciation: Bus Driver Appreciation Week is from February 8-12! If your child rides the bus to and/or from school, please have them thank their bus driver. Greeting cards and treats are always appreciated, as well!
