From the Office

Class Assignments

All classroom assignments will be distributed on August 25th. You will receive notification by e-mail from the school. Individual assignments will not be reported before that time. Thank you for your patience.

 

Middle School Lockers

All Middle School students are encouraged to come to school on Monday, August 29th between 1:00 and 2:30 p.m. to receive your new locker assignments and locks and to set up your locker for the new school year. It's also a great opportunity to say hello to friends and teachers.

 

Student Summer Work

All student summer work (i.e., book reports and Summer Skills books or proof of participation in an approved alternative program) should be turned in to your child's teacher on the first day of school. Students will receive credit for completing and submitting this work. Alternatively, those who do not submit the work will lose credit.

 

2010-11 Yearbooks

We are so sorry for the delay of last year's yearbooks.

They will be arriving mid September. Details will be forthcoming regarding the distribution of the yearbooks early in September.

 

Important Message from the School Nurse

All Medications and paperwork for Medications at school must be received at school no later than Monday August 22, 2011.

Please remember we need all the medications; if your child is on multiple medications or requires medications in various locations they must all be here and in place.  Life threatening issues: If there is no medication paperwork in place the student may not start school.  Medications without proper paperwork cannot be used.  

 

The Allergy Assessment form is found on the website.  Please fill out and e-mail.

 

Care Plans will be created from your physician information and the information you provide.  These Care Plans will be e-mailed for your review and signature.  I will make appointments to meet with any families who wish to meet and/or your student is new to Sacred Heart. I always meet with New Parents.  The meeting will occur prior to school starting.  As always, as medical issues come up during the school year I will create Care Plans and oversee Medications along with AnnMarie Thompson.

 

Immunizations:  We MUST have your child's current Immunization Card completed.  All Cards require a parent signature.  We must have all student immunization records. Exemptions for immunizations require a physician note.  As many of you know Washington State scored very poorly on immunizations so we anticipate an audit forth coming. 

 

Questions: please e-mail Linda Lavin, School Nurse

 

7th Grade Mini-Retreats

Immediately following the end of the first day of school, all 7th grade students are asked to attend a special mini-retreat to start off the year. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Students are invited to bring a snack to share. The mini-retreats will run from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. The boys and girls will each have their own separate events. Please plan to attend. We want everyone to have the opportunity to kick-off the year together.

 

Ms. Whitney Taylor

Ms. Taylor, who served as an instructional aide and assistant director of ESS for a few years now, has announced her resignation in order to pursue her dream of moving to Tanzania. We will miss her and her enthusiasm for life and love of our students. Please pray for her as she travels to Africa to begin a new life with her fiancé, Jacob. After their marriage, they hope to adopt Eman.

 

Full-payment Tuition Option

Those families who have selected to pay their tuition in one payment need to do so by September 1st, 2011. This deadline is the second day of school. Checks should be made out to Sacred Heart School.
