Houma Christian School

This week…

This week also brought back our favorite end-of-the-week gathering…. Chapel! High school and elementary students were able to gather and worship as a school family! Praise God!

What an AMAZING first week back on our campus! Students were welcomed on Monday with snack bags and Wednesday they were treated to free sugar cookies. We are so thankful to be back together again.

Elementary Students - Red Ribbon Week is at the end of this month! It's not too early to begin planning your outfits! Our school dress code must be followed and appropriate attire is required at all times.

All unsold spirit cards are due by next Friday, October 15th. Thanks

HCS is currently having boys junior high soccer signups. Any boy in grades 5-8 interested in playing soccer for HCS this year and did not sign up yet, should call Dustin Spiers at 985-804-5975.

Welcome Back Warriors! This week at Houma Christian....

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE: Houma Christian School will be reopening to all students on Monday, October 4th. We are excited to have our students and staff back on campus. COVID Mandates: Louisiana is still under an extended mask mandate by Governor John Bel Edwards. HCS will continue the same mask policy as before Hurricane Ida. All students (except those with mask exemptions) are required to wear a mask indoors when in close contact to other students or staff (six feet or closer). State Superintendent Cade Brumley did offer schools and school districts a parent option to the mandatory close contact quarantine policy. HCS will offer this option. All students who test positive for Covid still need to isolate at home for 10 full days and are no longer contagious, but those students who are close contacts are no longer mandated to quarantine. If the close contact does not have any symptoms (headache, dry repetitive cough, fever of 100.4 or greater, difficulty of breathing, shortness of breath, etc) , the parent can opt to send their child back to school the following school day with a signed close contact notification letter. HCS does encourage parents to have their child tested for Covid if they are a close contact. Parents of close contacts will be notified by the school nurse with a letter to be sent home and signed. Houma Christian School will follow the new parent option as long as the Covid cases continue to trend downward and there are not steep increases in cases.

Reminder: The revised calendar including makeup days &additional minutes are posted on both the website and app. Also, tonight at 11pm is the deadline for ordering lunch for next week.

We are so excited to announce that our first HCS spirit day will be Friday the 8th! The entire student body is welcomed to participate. The theme is SPORTS (see the flyer for all the details). On Saturday Oct 9th our varsity football team will be playing at Thomas Jefferson at 2pm.

Great news! Houma Christian School will reopen on Monday, October 4th for all students and staff for all-day instruction. Our staff is excited to welcome back all our awesome students to school. We were notified today that the material to repair the metal roofs will arrive in approximately 10 – 14 days. There may be a possibility that the students will have virtual learning for two days in late October to allow the contractors to complete the roofs. We will keep everyone updated as we get exact dates. All students may wear a HCS spirit shirt and approved jeans through December. Students may also wear regular school uniforms if they prefer. Please check the Warrior Day dress code guidelines in the HCS Student Handbook. Updated modified school calendar will be released later this week to reflect the make-up days.

All Warrior families are invited to visit us on campus today before 1:30! Free jambalaya, free cleaning supplies, free garage sale, free snowballs!!! If you are not personally in need of these items, please still come by and take for others in need. We would love to see you!!

When we return to school on October 4th, students will have the option to wear either their school uniform or our typical Warrior Day dress down items. There will be no charge and it will be optional. The free dress down option will be every day until Christmas break.
