Welcome to the website for Holy Cross School! We are pleased that you have taken the time to explore our site and to read about all the wonderful and exciting things happening at Holy Cross.

Holy Cross School is committed to providing a quality Catholic education steeped in academic rigor and Catholic values yet relevant to the world of today’s children. We encourage our children to practice their faith and to express that faith through acts of service to their church and community.

If you wish to have additional information about our school, please contact us at 610-626-1709. We would love for you to become part of the Holy Cross School family!

NIELD ROAD TRAFFIC: All parents need to be mindful of speed and of the children crossing at the Nield Road entrance since we have no crossing guard. Please do not arrive early and block traffic on Nield Road. Please remember also to drive SLOWLY in and out of the school lot. Our children are our most important resource. Remember that NO LEFT TURNS may be made on to Nield Road. ALL traffic must turn RIGHT.

Volunteers

Volunteers are a valuable resource for Holy Cross School and necessary for the continued smooth running of many of our school and CYO activities. However, in order to volunteer at the school or in any activity involving our children, the Safe Environment Office of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has mandated that the following must be submitted to the school office prior to participating in any activity:
1.State Police Check
2.Child Abuse Clearance
3.Certificate from Safe Environment Training (Virtus) conducted by the Archdiocese. These trainings are listed on the Archdiocesan website, the Virtus website, or one can call the Business Office and ask for Sister Marie Helene. Volunteers who will be working at school on a regular basis (at least once a week) must also attend Mandated Reporter Training.

POLICE CHECKS:
Can be obtained on line, however, the Child Abuse clearance is mailed to your home and you will have to drop a copy off at school. I realize that this may be inconvenient for some parents but we are all too aware of the many dangers that may present themselves to our children.

All volunteers must have State Police Clearances on file. These can be obtained on line and cost $10.00. It is highly confidential and the results are sent directly to you. It is a diocesan and school requirement that in order to volunteer in a school that volunteer must submit a State Police Check. The reason needs no explanation.
