Holy Cross uses a block schedule throughout the academic school year. In order to accommodate the needs of the curriculum, the Academy has a block schedule that offers students eight class periods over a two-day period. Each day is designated a Purple Day or White Day. Students will have four classes each day (or three classes and a Study Hall).

Summer assignments will be available no later than early June. Assignments are posted on the online portal.

Each student at the Academy is expected to adhere to the required dress code and uniform policy and be in proper uniform at all times during the school day. All students will be required to wear the uniform on the first day of school.

 The uniform consists of:

• Gray skirt (either A-line, boxed pleat, or kilt), or tailored gray pants.
• The students’ choices of uniform tops include:
  • lavender, purple or white polo shirts
  • a white collared oxford shirt
  • white long-sleeved polo shirt or white turtleneck
  • A variety of  jackets/ sweatshirts:
    • Zip-up dark gray fleece jacket
    • Dark gray quarter-zip
    • Gray crewneck sweatshirt with Holy Cross written across the chest!

Uniform approved sweatshirts/zip ups can be purchased from the Tartan Shop!

All students must wear either sneakers or low solid-colored closed-toed and full backed leather shoes (such as the Sperry Boat Shoe)of their choice.

Slippers, clogs, heels, flip-flops, sandals, Crocs, Sanuks and boots are not uniform shoes.

Students can wear socks of their choice or solid black or gray tights/leggings when the weather becomes cold. Socks must accompany footless leggings.

Skirts are to be unrolled and must be no more than three inches above the knee.

If a t-shirt is worn under the uniform shirt, it must be a solid white and not seen under the sleeves of the polo or oxford.

Flynn O’Hara stores are currently open, but please keep in mind shipping could be delayed. Please consider purchasing school uniform items sooner than later, especially to take advantage of Flynn O'Hara discounts.
