After School Care

“To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love, For it is in giving that we receive. . .”
~ from The Prayer of Saint Francis

Mission Statement

Holy Cross Catholic School After School Care Program is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive after school care program promoting the physical, social, and intellectual growth of our students.

General Rules and Regulations

Holy Cross Catholic School After School Care Program will operate as a licensed child care center through the Oregon Department of Education Office of Child Care. The program operates through Holy Cross Catholic School, therefore the rules and regulations outlined in the Holy Cross Catholic School Parent-Student Handbook, including the dress code, apply for the After School Care Program as well. All health and safety protocols established by Holy Cross Catholic School will be followed in the After Care Program.
