From the Office

Masses

Our first Friday mass is at 9am tomorrow morning.

Please be sure that your student is dressed in full uniform.

Please note, that we will also be having a 9am mass on the third Friday of each month.

Please see the calendar for the full mass schedule.

As always, parents, siblings and grandparents are welcome to sit with their students during these masses.

 

ESS - Extended School Services Program

Please click on this link for more information on ESS changes and drop-in procedures.

 

Morning Daily Prayer  8:30am                                                                                     

Beginning this fall, our Student Council will be leading the school in Morning Prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and other important announcements over our school's PA system every morning at 8:30am.  We hope that all of our students will be here and in their classrooms to take part in these announcements by 8:30am.

 

Fr. Steve's Installation

Let's gather together to give Fr. Steve an official welcome as our new pastor at his Installation Mass on September 8th at the 5:00 Mass. **All students who attend the Installation Mass in their school uniform will receive a free dress pass.**  A reception will follow the Mass - with cupcakes for all children. No need to RSVP, but you may want to arrive early as I expect that there will be many in attendance.

 

Parish Festival

The annual Parish Festival will take place this year on Sunday, September 16th from 12-3 p.m. Middle School volunteers are needed to assist. Hours worked count toward the student's service requirement. To sign up, please e-mail your name and times during which you are available to Jenney Burroughs. Sign up right away as spots are filling quickly.

 

Catechetical Sunday

This year we will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on Saturday, September 15 and Sunday, September 16 at all Masses. Students who attend Mass at Sacred Heart in their full uniform at one of those three Masses will receive a free dress coupon.

 

Safe Environment Program

Everyone who volunteers with children at the school or parish is required to complete the Safe Environment/Called to Protect program. All school parents are encouraged to complete this program in if you are not currently volunteering with students in case you want to do so in the future. This three-hour training is designed to teach participants how to recognize the signs of abuse, how to respond to suspected abuse and how to keep our ministries, programs and schools safe. The Called to Protect for Ministers and Volunteers class will be offered here at Sacred Heart School in the Moore Theater on Monday, September 10th from 6-9 p.m. Please sign up for the class here.

Parents and staff who have completed the initial training class must participate in an annual online update. You can access your annual update by clicking here.

 

Uniform Reminders

We are off to a great start.  I have asked teachers to go over the Uniform Code as they are setting classroom expectations and reviewing expected behaviors.  Overall, everyone is doing a great job of coming to school ech day wearing the proper uniform, but we have noticed a few things I want to bring to your attention:

  • Shoes/Socks/Leggings:  Our uniform policy states that students may wear non-marking dress shoes, lace-up, Velcro shoes, or snug fitting athletic shoes.  Socks and tights must be a solid white, navy, or green colors for socks/tights.  Girls may also wear navy ankle-length leggings with matching ankle socks.  In the first few days we have seen several students wearing slip-on Toms which is not an appropriate option, students may wear the lace-up Toms.  We have also seen students wearing socks that are not solid in color and socks/leggings in a variety of colors.  Socks and tights must be a solid white, navy or green and leggings must be navy and worn with matching ankle socks.  We would appreciate your help in assuring that students come to school in proper attire.
  • Fingernail Polish:  Girls may wear light-colored, sheer or opaque nail polish only.
  • Head-wear and Hair Accessories:  Hair accessories (head bands, clips, hair bands) must be white, green, blue, black, brown or plaid to coordinate with uniform colors.  Headbands cannot have any decorations.  Hair feathers/feather extensions, as well as hats or other coverings/head-wear are not permitted at school.

Special Posting to our Facebook Page
