MHR Family Christmas Ornaments

Each year during the Christmas season, we fill MHR’s halls with Christmas trees decorated in different themes.  Last year, each faculty team decorated a tree.  This year, we will honor our community by inviting each family to place an ornament on one of our Christmas Trees throughout the building.  If you choose, you may bring the ornament to the main office or with your student at any time during December.  We will do our best to return the ornaments to students before Christmas break, so please include a tag with your family name on the ornament.  Thank you for bringing joy to MHR this holiday season.

Inclement Weather Days

With winter quickly approaching, we may experience a day(s) when we close school for the safety of our students, faculty, and staff.  In such an instance, these days will be designated e-learning days, and students will be expected to complete assignments shared by teachers. In addition, each teacher will host “office hours” from 8:30 to 9:15 am and 11:30 am to 12:30 pm via Zoom or Google Meet.  All students will be expected to join their class via Zoom or Google Meet at 8:30 am for prayer and welcome, attendance, and to answer any questions about the day.  

  • Pre-K through 4th Grade Students – The office hours link and assignments will be emailed to parents no later than 8 am. 
  • 5th through 8th Grade Students – The office hours link and assignments will be posted to Google Classroom no later than 8 am. 

We acknowledge that some families may need support during an e-learning day.  If a family needs a device for their student(s) to access learning activities, please click here to request a school iPad.  Please be mindful that the school has a limited supply of iPads, and they will be distributed accordingly.    

Most Holy Redeemer administration will send out a schoolwide email through our emergency communication system, School Messanger, and post the information on our website and social media accounts no later than 7 am.
