Community Life

Parent Association

message.png

“Our mission is to create a warm, inclusive, and collaborative environment to benefit the students and the school by encouraging unity, spirituality, and community engagement.”

The Holy Child Parent Association is an active and integral part of our school community. When families become part of Holy Child Academy, all parents are automatically welcomed into the Association. Monthly meetings provide opportunities to discuss upcoming events, programs, and service initiatives, and often feature keynote speakers who address meaningful and relevant topics for parents.

Starting with the Walk-a-thon in September, through an array of Christmas and Spring activities, to the Graduation Dance, our parents are an essential part of Holy Child Academy. We hope that the broad range of volunteer opportunities available provides our parents with meaningful, fun and rewarding ways to meet other parents, observe the day-to-day atmosphere of the school, participate in their children's scholastic experience, and contribute to the Holy Child community.

Extended Care

For children who need after-school care, HCA offers an Extended Day program until 5:30 p.m.  There is a small charge for this service to help cover the cost of supervision by teachers.

During Extended Day hours children may do homework and/or play on the playgrounds and fields.  Snack is served.  Parents should call one of the building secretaries in the morning of the day this care is needed to reserve a space.

Intramurals

In the spring and fall, third and fourth graders are invited to participate in an after-school intramural sports program at no charge.  Offerings include many organized sports and games.  The program generally runs two days a week for eight weeks after school from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Many school districts offer a 4:00 p.m. bus pick-up time.
