Welcome . . . As we begin the 2016-2017 school year, the faculty
and staff feel a sense of excitement and gratitude.
Holy Family Catholic School partners with parents to
provide a safe, loving, committed and nurturing
environment. Holy Family Catholic School students
are expected to be self-aware/engaged learners,
responsible decision makers and faith-filled
learners.
This school year promises to be a year filled with
learning, service, prayer, reflection, fun, assemblies,
field trips and enriching activities in a safe and
nurturing environment.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with
your children and look forward to a great year.
Thank you for entrusting your children to the faculty
and staff of Holy Family Catholic School. We
understand the wonderful role we have been given.
Loretta
Principal

FAMILY GROUPS
We have started a tradition – Family Groups. Each 8th grade student leads a family group in a variety of activities throughout the school year.
The groups are made up of students from all grades and serve as a way for students to get to know each other. The groups remain intact each
year (as much as possible) so that students have the opportunity to develop deep bonds with students of all ages. Our first family group
activity is an ice cream social. We will serve ice cream sundaes to students on Friday, September 9th at 2:00. If the weather permits, we will
enjoy our cool treat on the field. We are grateful for the 8th grade students as they begin their year of Leadership at Holy Family Catholic
School.

¡Bienvenidos! Welcome!
Dear parents and Guardians,
I am thrilled that your son/daughter is in my Spanish class this
year. My name is Susana Parodi and I am from Mexico. This is
my fi"eenth year at Holy Family Catholic School, but I have
been teaching in the USA since 1994. I have taught K-12th
Spanish in other Portland school districts and at Portland State
for two years as a Spanish assistant teacher.
The Foreign Language class at HFCS emphasizes oral
skills, with more wri#ng and reading emphasis in fourth to
eighth grade. I believe very strongly that learning a foreign lan-
guage includes more than speaking. Culture is a very important
part of our curriculum. Students will be involved in many differ-
ent ac#vi#es during the school year such as: “Mexico Inde-
pendence Day”, “Day of the Dead”, “Christmas Posadas”,
“Mother’s Day”, “The Interna#onal Fair” and many more
events .
