Welcome to the Holy Family School Community. Our school is a Junior Kindergarten – to Grade 6 school with a population of 350 students and is located in the Hunt Club area in Ottawa, Ontario. The Holy Family staff, parents and Holy Cross parish team are committed to providing your children with the best opportunities for spiritual, social growth and academic excellence. With your support and assistance we can achieve our goal. We welcome the new families in our community. We encourage you to become involved in the school as interested parents, as parent volunteers and as active supporters of the Holy Family School Council. To promote open communication, here are the many ways that we communicate with our partners in education: School website - will host important announcements, monthly school newsletter, calendar of events as well as school council information and other interesting and important links for parents. School Twitter account - @HolyFamilyCSOtt Follow us on Twitter to see current events, announcements and reminders. School Connects messages - from time to time the school will send phone messages and/or emails to relay important and time sensitive information. School Cash online - all families should be registered for school cash online. You will receive notice when an item for purchase (such as field trips) has been uploaded to your cart. Paper notices - Holy Family is a Gold Status ECO school! We therefore try to minimize the consumption of paper however, sometimes information will come home on a paper notice. Agenda/Communication book- this is where notes from individual teachers will be housed. We look forward to working with you to enhance your child(ren)'s educational experiences and success, as we continue to work to ensure that their gifts, talents and diverse natures will be celebrated. We encourage them to grow spiritually, academically and socially in a 21st Century learning environment.
