Dear HFCS Families & Friends,
As we celebrate this beautiful summer season, we wish each of your families a happy, healthy, and joyful summer filled with God’s blessings. With just a little over a month remaining before the new school year begins, we wanted to share some important reminders and updates to help you prepare.
Uniform Policy Reminder
Our complete uniform policy is available on the school’s internal website through the FACTS portal. We encourage all families to review these guidelines as you prepare for the upcoming year.
Uniform Vendors
We are pleased to work with multiple vendors to make uniform procurement convenient for our families. You can access information about both mass uniform options and everyday uniform pieces through these approved vendors.
Friday Spirit Wear Policy
We’re excited to remind you that Fridays offer our students the opportunity to show their school spirit! Students may wear official spirit wear t-shirts in place of their regular uniform shirt. When wearing spirit wear, students may also choose:
- Blue jeans or blue jean shorts (remembering our modesty guidelines of no shorter than three inches above the knee)
- For girls: blue jean skirts or jumpers paired with spirit wear t-shirts
- Or wear their regular uniform bottoms with a spirit wear t-shirt
- Students may always choose to wear their uniform in lieu of free dress or spirit wear
Spirit Wear Vendors
Spirit wear can be purchased through multiple vendors:
- Local Option: Subterra (our local vendor) – details provided below in this newsletter
- Angel ReThreads: Gently used uniform sale on Tuesday, August 19th
- Student Council: Spirit wear available for purchase or special ordering
A Special Day in Our Faith
Today holds special significance in our Catholic tradition as we celebrate Saints Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Through the story of Lazarus, we are beautifully reminded of our opportunity for spiritual rebirth through Christ. Just as Lazarus was called forth from the tomb, we too can emerge renewed in our faith and love.
As we continue to enjoy this beautiful summer weather, may we find moments of prayer, reflection, and gratitude for the many blessings in our lives. We hope your summer continues to be faith-filled and joyful as we prepare our hearts and minds for the gift of a new school year ahead.
Looking Ahead
We are eagerly anticipating welcoming your children back to our school community, where faith and learning grow together each day. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about uniforms, spirit wear, or any other preparations for the upcoming year.
May God’s peace and joy be with you and your families throughout the remainder of this blessed summer season.
Pax et bonum,
Sue Styren, M.Ed.
