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.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone at
Meet & Greet on Monday!

We are excited to try something new this year! Families must enter through the school's entrance doors. Please proceed to your child's homeroom to receive the above "passport" card. Be sure to visit the School Office to confirm that we have received your back-to-school forms and go to the Cafeteria to take a yearbook photo. Once your child has stopped at each station, they can then use the card as a dress down pass.
