Re-enrollment Open: Re-enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year opens today! You will receive an email through FACTS from Principal Garvey this morning with instructions on how to complete enrollment for your child. You are also able to submit applications for children who do not currently attend St. Charles. Re-enrollment packets and new student applications are due by Friday, January 9. Families who do not currently attend St. Charles will be able to submit applications during our open enrollment period starting Thursday, January 15. 

Advent Concert: We are looking forward to our Advent Concert tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the Church! Doors will open at 6 p.m. Students in 1st-8th Grade should meet in their homerooms at 6 p.m. Students in 4K and 5K should meet in the church's corridor and check in with their homeroom teachers at 6:10 p.m. Students in 3K should meet in the calming room off of the corridor at 6:10 p.m. to check in. Attire is "Sunday Best" with optional Christmas flair. As a reminder, Reconciliation is being held in the Church from 5-6 p.m. Please do not enter the Church prior to 6 p.m. and remain quiet and respectful while coming into the space. All 3K, 4K, and 5K students will return to their families after their performance and will remain with you until the end of the concert. After your child performs, please have one parent retrieve them from the Pre-K staff. At the conclusion of the concert, please retrieve your child(ren) in 1st-8th Grade from their teacher. 

Dress Down Days: Tomorrow is our "Silent Night" dress down day! Students and staff are welcome to wear pajamas and/or comfy clothing. We will also have dress down days next week! Below are each day's themes:
  • Monday: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ~ light up your outfit with lights
  • Tuesday: Feliz Navidad ~ red, green, and white day
  • Wednesday: Here Comes Santa Claus ~ wear Santa hats and shirts
  • Thursday: Christmas Sweater Day
  • Friday: Dress Up for Jesus ~ wear your Sunday best
Lockdown Drill: We conducted a lockdown drill on Tuesday, and everything went very well! Hartland Police Department was on site and assisted with the walkthrough of the building. Our students and staff did a great job, and at this time, HPD does not have any recommendations for us. They noted the security enhancements that we implemented this past summer, notably the School Office's relocation with a more secured entrance and the security gate in the West lot. Safety and security remains our top priority, and our assessment of safety procedures is an ongoing practice to ensure the safety of our school community.

Last Call for SCRIP: The deadline to order SCRIP to receive it prior to Christmas is Sunday, December 14 at 8 p.m. Don't miss your chance to place an order! SCRIP gift cards will also be for sale after all Masses this weekend
