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, 

Thank you for a great first week of school so far! It's been wonderful to have scholars return and fill our hallways with excitement and energy. Please keep the safety and success of our school in your prayers throughout this year!

I also want to let you know that our drop-off and pick-up procedures will be changing temporarily starting Tuesday, September 3 due to Fall Fest setup and cleanup. Please review our temporary procedures and the drop-off/pick-up map prior to Tuesday. Feel free to contact the School Office with any questions at 262-367-2040 or by email. Thank you for your help in keeping our students and staff safe!

Following His plan, 
Principal Garvey
