Communication
Weekly Monday Memo
Every Monday the school sends an email with pertinent details for the school community. This will always include a note from the principal, important dates & announcements, sports & clubs updates, PTC/Volunteer opportunities, and other news. If you are not on the mailing list, email office@holychildnm.com
Classroom Communications
One of the benefits of HCCS is that teachers have room to exercise their unique talents and gifts. Every teacher comes with different communication methods/styles. Touch base with your child's teacher so you will know what to expect for communication this year. Every teacher communicates - it's only the method that changes from teacher to teacher!
The school has a very active Facebook page that frequently spotlights activities, students, and aspects of faith and education at HCCS

Doctors of the Church
Holy Child Catholic School is committed to preserving our Catholic intellectual tradition. This is why each of our classrooms is named after a Doctor of the Church.
At the bottom of each page of this website, you will see a photo of a Doctor of the Church and the classroom that honors that particular doctor.
