NOW ENROLLING FOR PRESCHOOL THROUGH GRADE 8

COVID-19 Update

The Holy Cross School Administration, in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, continue to actively monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and update our response based on the guidance we receive from the Archdiocese and state and local Public Health agencies. This situation is very fluid and evolving each day and we want to assure you that the priority of our staff is the health and safety of our students.

Unfortunately, right now we do not have a date to return to in-person instruction; we will return when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, our faculty will continue to work on distance learning plans, and continue to adjust them as needed. We recognize that everyone, including our own faculty, would like a definite answer. Unfortunately, there is not definite answer at the moment, but we are being asked to make a plan in case the closure is extended through the end of the school year. We remain hopeful that we will be able to resume in-person learning at some point this school year.

We will provide you with additional information and updates as events unfold. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this very challenging time.

Holy Cross School's Distance Learning Model

Grades PK-8

Our whole school meets on Zoom each morning for prayer, community building, and announcements.
Each class has an individual morning meeting each day, as well as Zoom office hours for questions and classwork help in the afternoons.

Grades PK-2

Preschool through second grade use a combination of digital and paper learning strategies to meet students needs. Weekly packets are prepared for students with daily lessons in reading, writing and math, and weekly activities for science and social studies. These packets are supplemented with digital programs like IXL, ABC Mouse, and Brain Pop Jr.

Grades 3-8

Third through eighth grade have gone digital for distance learning. Through a combination of live lessons on Zoom, the utilization of Google Classroom, and supplementing core curriculum with IXL, Epic, and Brain Pop, students receive daily instruction in reading, writing and math, and weekly instruction in science and social studies.
