If you are a new family to Sacred Heart, please click on Create an Account. If you are a returning family, please use your log in information from last year. Please order no later than August 22 to make sure your child has a lunch on the first day of school.

Milk comes with each meal. If you would like to order an additional milk or need a milk due to your child bringing a cold lunch, you may do so. Parents may also order an extra entrée or extra pizza slice for an additional fee.

The monthly menus will go “live” the 15th of the previous month so that you can order. We will remind families to order each month through the weekly school newsletter.

If your family qualifies for free/reduced lunch, please complete an application for us. We do receive some state funding that relies on the number of applications we receive.

Attention Parents, Grandparents and former Coaches!

Sacred Heart is in need of coaches for girls basketball, softball and baseball.

Positions are volunteer and can be used towards your family volunteer hours. Not to mention forming long, lasting relationships with Sacred Heart parents and students!

The girls’ basketball season runs from the beginning of January into the 2nd week of March.

Softball and baseball run concurrently from the beginning of April until the end of May.

Grades 5-8 can participate so this is an excellent opportunity for someone with a child in those grades to be responsible for building their athletic confidence!

If interested, please contact Seth Wilhelm swilhelm@sacredheartschoolrobbinsdale.org or

(920)265-4040.

MN Fundraising Initiative (MNFI) secures contracts with over 23 venues in the greater Twin Cities area including Target Field, Target Center, Canterbury, and US Bank to operate food and beverage concessions stands at their events.

MNFI organizes teams of volunteers from all over the state of MN and WI who work together to run these stands. In turn, MNFI receives donations from these venues. The donations are then used to award grants to families in local communities to allow youth to attend private school, such as Sacred Heart Catholic School and participate in enrichment activities they may not otherwise be able to enjoy. Checks are mailed directly to Sacred Heart in your name.

Many of our school families use this organization to help pay for tuition.
