Lenten Celebrations at Sacred Heart

• On Good Friday the 5th grade will present its annual Passion Play in the Moore Theater. The play is a reenactment of the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The play was adapted by Mr. Sheffield from an original medieval passion play. Performances are at 8:45, 9:30, 10:15 and 11am, Moore Theatre  All are invited to attend.
• On Good Friday we ask that all students, parents, and staff dismiss from school silently as we remember the crucifixion and death of our Lord.

Rice Bowl Reminder!

Money collected during Lent in your rice bowls should be returned to school for our Holy Thursday prayer service TODAY. If parents want to count up the money in the rice bowl and then return the money in the form of a check in the rice bowl, please make the check to "Sacred Heart School", with 'CRS Rice Bowl' in the memo line.

School Commission Members Needed for Next Year

We are currently seeking individuals to join the school commission next year to replace members whose terms are expiring. The school commission is an advisory board that supports Fr. Steve and Mr. Burroughs with advice and expertise related to school policies, budget, and strategic planning. We are especially seeking individuals who have expertise in law, facilities, or marketing. All school commission members must be confirmed Catholics and may not be employed by or married to someone employed by Sacred Heart School or Parish. Monthly meetings are scheduled on the second Wednesday of the month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. If you would like to join the discernment process for next year's school commission, please contact Mr. Burroughs for more information.

Placement/Teacher Request Policy

Our classroom teachers work exceptionally hard on classroom placements each year and a considerable amount of time is spent trying to balance classes academically, emotionally and socially.

Families with specific educational reasons may request in writing a classroom placement prior to Friday, May 9, 2014.  All Placement Requests must go directly to the Vice Principal for students entering K-5.  Included in the request must be reasons why a specific teacher is best able to meet the individual child's educational needs.  We are only able to consider Placement Requests made in writing.  Requests made to classroom teachers are not a guarantee of placement.  If you have information that you believe needs to be considered in your child's classroom placement, please submit a Placement Request.

Educationally valid requests submitted before the deadline will be reviewed and considered when making placement decisions. However, not all requests can be accommodated.  Please click here for the Placement Request Form.
