Once a month, we invite parents, grandparents, and stakeholders to meet in our chapel and pray for the intentions of the students of Holy Family Academy. Please join us at 9:30am on Thursday, October 15th

Please be reminded that we are a nut-free environment. With students that have severe nut allergies, exposure to nuts of any kind can be life threatening.

This includes: peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts (Nutella), cashews, macadamia, pecans, walnuts, certain granola/cereal bars, baked goods, or spreads.

Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe and our school nut-free.

We are thrilled to announce that our Milk Program is running this year, starting right away!

Milk cards are now available for purchase through School Cash Online HERE. Once you have secured your child's milk card, it will be delivered to your child's teacher.

Any milk cards purchased throughout the year will be delivered on the Monday following the purchase.

If your child had any milk cards left over from last year, they will be delivered to their new classroom.

Milk cartons will be waiting for your child at lunchtime starting Tuesday, September 8th.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to Stefanie Connor at sconnor@redeemer.ab.ca.

Thank you for supporting our Milk Program!

Please visit https://holyfamilyacademy.entripyshops.com/ and see the wide selection of clothing available to order.

The selection is always changing - now you can order backpacks and bags!

To show your support for Catholic education in the province, Catholic homeowners (or co-owners) can instruct municipalities to direct their property taxes to the Roman Catholic Separate School District. Ratepayers can visit their local municipality office to inquire about a request for change, if they did not originally declare their taxes to be directed to Catholic Education. For more information read School Support Notice Fact Sheet.
