Holy Name School News
There’s always something interesting happening at Holy Name School. On this page, we’ll post details about upcoming events, past activities, school awards, and much more—so bookmark this page and check back often!
If you decide that you would like to choose the remote option for your child, please let Mr. Flanagan know as soon as possible. Please note that there is no option of partially remote learning currently at Holy Name School. Due to the importance of tracking student absences for contact tracing purposes by the department of health in the event of a positive case, we need to know as soon as possible in the morning if your child will be absent due to sickness. Please contact Ms. Chippendale to inform her of the symptoms your child is experiencing.
Reminder, we ask that you please email Mrs.Krauzyk or call the office in the morning if you will be using extended care. This will allow us to make the necessary safety preparations for all students. Of course, if you need to use extended care at the last minute, it is always available. Please visit our Square site to pay for Holy Name extended care online.
Holy Name School is celebrating 60 years! We are forming a 60th-anniversary committee to assist in the planning for this special milestone. If you have an interest in participating, please email Jana McHenry, Director of Advancement/Alumni. We appreciate your help and look forward to celebrating!

The scholarship awards $250 to the student(s) whose essay best answers the question: “How has Holy Name School helped with your faith, and how do you show your faith by helping others?” Please email essays to Ms. Chippendale by March 31, 2021. All essays will be confidential, and a panel will choose the winner(s). Please see the Dr. Patricia M. Wardell Scholarship flyer for more information.

The Foundation to Advance Catholic Education (FACE) raises money for scholarships to assist with the costs of a Catholic education. FACE uses the FACTS system to determine financial need so that each situation can be fairly assessed for scholarship opportunities. All families with one or more children enrolled in or applying to a Catholic elementary or middle school in kindergarten through 8th grades in the Diocese of Fall River are eligible to apply. Please see our FACE scholarship application flyer for more information.
It’s that time of year again where we are reminded about being thankful. Holy Name School will once again take part in the Clothe-a-Child fundraiser. Each class will be sponsoring a child who is in need of a warm jacket. If you could please use the Holy Name School Clothe-a-Child Square link to make a donation to help purchase a jacket for each child, that would be greatly appreciated. Please make your donation by Tuesday, December 1.
