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 are gearing up for an amazing Catholic Schools Week to celebrate Catholic education! We will be bringing back the Soup-er Bowl this year, so please bring in different cans of soup that will be donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry. Students will place soup cans in the bucket of the team that they believe will win the Super Bowl (should be the Packers, but we all know how that turned out). 

Also, students will have the opportunity to guess the teacher in a fun Staff Trivia game throughout the week as well as a guess-the-teacher game by looking at pictures of teachers in their youth. Answers will be revealed over morning announcements, so stay tuned!

Please continue to send items for the Seminarian Gift Bags that 8th Grade students will be putting together on Tuesday. Thank you for your help!

It will be a fun and exciting week!

COVID Update: We currently have two students and one staff member at home in isolation due to testing positive for COVID-19. Additionally, we have five students in quarantine due to being considered close contacts outside of St. Charles. Please remember to continue monitoring your child's health daily and keep your kids home if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or are not feeling well. We are grateful for all of your prayers and support for our students, staff, and school community!

Open House Thank-You: Thank you to all of the parents and students who volunteered at our Open House on Sunday! All of the families who visited us were so grateful for your time and appreciated all of your insights about St. Charles. We're excited to have new students join us for the 2022-2023 school year!

Hot Lunch Reminder: Students are able to select which hot lunch option they would like when they arrive at school every morning. In the event your child will be arriving after 8:30 a.m., please call the School Office and let us know their order. If we do not receive their order by 8:30 a.m., they will need to bring a cold lunch. Thank you for your understanding! 

Wee Know Update: We were recently notified that our after-school care provider Wee Know School will not be providing their after-school services at St. Charles next school year. It was a tough decision for them, but they are unable to commit to serving students at St. Charles Parish School next year due to staffing changes. Please know that providing an after-school care program is a priority, and we are actively working to find a replacement. We will update you as soon as we know more.
