Important Information When it is necessary for you to leave a message on the school answering machine, we ask that you state what day you are calling. By doing this, will help avoid errors in messages given to student. It is also helpful to let your child know how they are getting home before they leave for school. We try to avoid giving last minute changes in transportation as the office is always very busy at the end of the day. If you have a last minute emergency change in transportation after your child leaves for school, please try to call in the morning. Thank you for being considerate in this matter.
Changes Please notify the school office right away if you have a change in address or a phone number. It is very important that we have your current information on file. Thank you for taking care of this.
Cookie Dough Information Delivery date for the cookie dough will be October 11th from 2:30-5:30 p.m. in the St. Joe small gym. If you cannot pick up your cookie dough at the specified time, please have someone else do so. Thank you to all the families who participated in this PTO fundraiser!! Classes with 100% participation will win an ice cream and movie party.
Halloweeen Costumes/Parties-K-6 On Wednesday, October 31st, Sacred Heart Campus will hold their annual Halloween parade beginning at 2:45 p.m. Students in Grades K-6 will change into their costumes after lunch. Violent costumes and/or weapons are NOT permitted. Halloween festivities planned by homeroom parents will take place at 2:00 p.m.
Blessing of the Animals On Thursday, October 4th (Feast of St. Francis) at 2:30, please come with your pets (on leashes) for this special blessing by Father Chris. Parents bringing pets will be able to take their child(ren) home following the blessing; please sign out with your child’s teacher. All others will be dismissed as usual. If your child is unable to bring a pet they can draw a picture of their pet or bring in a photo. PLEASE MEET YOUR CHILD ON THE GRASS IN FRONT OF CHURCH, not in the classroom. All are welcome!
Parent Signatures Throughout the school year, we often send papers home that require parent signatures. It is very helpful to teachers and the school office to be able to recognize these signatures. Using initials or curly “Q” signatures make` it difficult to figure out who the paper belongs to. We only ask for parent signatures when it is important, we appreciate it when we can recognize the signature. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
2018-2019 Parent/Teacher Conferences This school year, conferences at Sacred Heart Campus will be Tuesday, November 6th and Thursday, November 8th from 4:00-7:45 p.m. Again, we will be using Sign Up Genius to schedule conferences. Please go to the BHCS website at www.bishop-hoffman.net and click on the Sign Up Genius button for Sacred Heart Campus. This will take you to the website for you to finish the sign-up process. We will notify you when this scheduling is available.
First Reconciliation Meeting Sacred Heart Parish will have a First Reconciliation Meeting on Wednesday, October 17th starting with mass at 6:30 p.m. This parent meeting will follow mass. Please note that this meeting is for Parents only.
Labeling We are asking once again to please put your child’s name on their belongings; this includes lunch boxes and especially their BHCS red fleeces/sweatshirt. Please feel free to stop in the school office to check out our “Lost and Found” box.
Picture Re-Take Day Monday, October 29tht is picture re-take day. Any students having their picture re-taken will need to return their original package to hand to the photographer. Fall pictures are taken in uniform. If your child was absent on the original day of pictures, please send them with their picture envelope. If you need another envelope, please let the office know.
Campbell Soup Labels Due to the fact that the Campbell Soup Label Program is no longer in existence, Sacred Heart Campus will not be collecting those labels. We are, however, still collecting Box Tops. Hopefully you had a chance to read over the Box Top flyer that was sent home last week explaining the rewards program.
