MISSION STATEMENT: St. Charles Parish School in Hartland, Wisconsin nourishes and grows a vibrant Catholic community committed to innovation, responsiveness and compassion as it prepares and challenges students in their intellectual, spiritual and moral lives.

Dear Parents,

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you back on Monday, August 31 from 12-6 p.m.! Although our Meet and Greet will look different this year, we will still make sure that there is time for meeting teachers and staff and getting supplies to the classrooms. Please have your child’s supplies in a bag or box (labeled with their name). You can park in the lot and walk up to the appropriate grade-level station. Teachers will be present to meet with you and gather supplies. Also, we have some parent volunteers who will assist with getting supplies to the appropriate classrooms so that teachers can take the time to meet students and chat with parents. If you are interested in volunteering at Meet & Greet, please click here. We ask that you practice social distancing and wear a mask as we work through these new situations. We sincerely appreciate everyone's help and understanding!

School photos will not be taken during Meet & Greet like we have in previous years. Picture Day has been rescheduled for Wednesday, September 16 with Thursday, October 15 as Picture Retake Day.

All tuition agreements were sent out last week from TADS. Please complete your agreement by Monday, August 24. We apologize for any confusion with the August 15 deadline that was indicated in the email you received from TADS. If you did not receive your agreement, please contact the School Office.

Following His plan,
Mr. Garvey
