Safety Concerns

Sacred Heart School is concerned at all times about the safety of the students who attend our school.  The following suggestions are for your benefit.

1. Be sure your child knows a direct safe route to the bus stop or to school.
2. Teach your child to walk on the sidewalk and to cross the street only at corners where crossing guards are stationed.
3. Instruct your child to go directly to school and to go directly home after school.
4. Be sure to inform the school office of any change of address or telephone number.  It is most important that the school have current and accurate information in the event of an emergency.
5. Telephone messages to school assigning chores or changing where a child is to go after school are difficult to handle because authenticity must be verified and confusion might result.  Messages must be limited to those that involve emergency situations.

Photographs

Individual photographs are taken each year.  Purchase of these pictures is voluntary.  Notices are sent home prior to the date on which pictures will be taken.  Payment is due the day of photographing.

Volunteers

Our volunteer program includes service in many areas: typing, nurses, schoolyard monitor, cafeteria, substitute teacher, and Para-professional work.  We encourage you to join in making our school more vital through your services.  Please contact the school office for more information.

Visitors

Visitors during school hours are to report to the school office.  If it is necessary to deliver a message to a child or teacher, please report to the office.  Under no circumstances may a parent go directly to a classroom.

The Student Store

The Student Council students will run a student store each morning from 8:00 AM to 8:20 AM.  The store has various school supplies including used uniforms.

Educational Field Trips

At times during the school year, students have the privilege of participating in educational field trips.  Students will be denied participation in the field trips if the official parental permission form is not returned to school before the trip, or if behavioral problems warrant exclusion.  Buses are used on all field trips exceeding 5 miles.  Parent volunteers are requested on most field trips.
