Holy Spirit Parish School

Five years ago, we started Holy Spirit’s TK modeling after what we would have wanted our own children to know and experience before starting Kindergarten. Our philosophy is that if a child feels loved and safe, they can learn anything. Holy Spirit’s TK program strives to develop a strong social and emotional foundation to prepare children for the transition to Kindergarten and future school success while recognizing the unique needs of each individual child. Along with readin...g, writing, math and art, we have included cooking for each letter of the alphabet. Our Catholic beliefs are always at the center of our teaching, as children learn their prayers, attend the school’s weekly Mass, and live out The Golden Rule. We are so proud of the TK program and invite you to schedule a tour to see our happy place! - Mrs. Pia Glenn and Mrs. Tracie Guillen See more

If you missed Picture Day (or you just didn't like they way the first one turned out), never fear! Make-up day is here: Wednesday, January 13th, starting at 8:30AM for in-person learners and 10AM for distance learners. If you're retaking a photo, you must return the original packet and give it to the photographer on Wednesday. If you missed the December Picture Day and would like to order photos, visit mylifetouch.com and use the HSPS school code: EVTMG4TN7

If these three words (phrases) are present in the family, then the family will be in good shape:

To all of you who check into the Holy Spirit Face Book page; May your Christmas and New Year be filled with blessings. Many of you received the Parish Christmas... mailing. Include was a letter describing the financial need of the parish during this pandemic. The response was a wave of contributions to the Parish, pledges for the Stem Building and electronic funds transfers. I am thankful to all of you who have been able to give during this difficult time. Those who may have not been able to give; I ask for one thing, your prayers. Fr. Michael Hebda See more

As more students return to campus, an important reminder for everyone:

Good news! Our 7th and 8th graders who plan to return to campus will be back on Tuesday! We can’t wait to see you
