Elementary Programs
Holy Cross serves children in Kindergarten through 5th grade who attend Madison and Thomas MacLaren Schools.
Students are escorted from Madison Elementary School and Thomas MacLaren Charter School at dismissal time and after school care is provided for students until 5:45 p.m. This enrichment program offers cooking experiences, science, art, theatre, American history, and assistance with homework.
All Day Elementary Care is offered from 7:15 a.m. – 5:45 p.m. on the days when District 11 is closed or Thomas MacLaren is closed, and Holy Cross Lutheran School is open. Students must be signed up in advance and the group size is limited to 9 children in kindergarten through 5th grade. A full day of fun and engaging activities is planned for each day!
