Saints and Scholars News

As we approach the joyous celebration of Christmas, we reflect on the beautiful gift of God’s love in the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. This holy season reminds us of the light and hope that Christ brings into our hearts, our families, and our Sacred Heart community.

I am deeply grateful for the privilege of partnering with you in the spiritual and academic formation of your children. Your dedication to their growth and faith is inspiring. Together, we are nurturing hearts that will shine brightly in the world, sharing Christ’s love with others.

May this Christmas season fill your homes with peace, joy, and an abundance of God’s blessings. As we celebrate the miracle of Christ’s birth, let us also give thanks for the gift of our school community, which continues to grow in faith, knowledge, and love.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with grace and hope!

Yours in Christ,

Ms. Wilson

Due to the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we have made small adjustments to our school calendar in order to best serve our students and meet the instructional hour requirements for the year. Please note the following changes:

• March Student Led Conferences are canceled.
• The following days were scheduled to be half days. They will now be full instructional days:
• Friday, March 28th
• Friday, May 9th

The updated calendar is linked at the bottom of this newsletter.

Student Led Conferences will be held on January 16th from 4:00-7:00 PM and January 17th from 1:00-4:00 PM. Due to the Hurricanes, this will be our only round of Student Led Conferences this year. The sign up link will be shared when we return from Christmas Break.

Middle School Families- we ask that you only sign up for a conference with one teacher to ensure all families are able to schedule a conference.

Please check out these programs that are completely FREE for students in 6th grade and up, covering after-school, spring break, and summer camp. The only cost is a $25 registration fee.

Morning Drop Off

• Student drop off begins at 7:30 AM. Students cannot be left unaccompanied on campus prior to 7:30 AM. There is no supervision outside prior to 7:30 AM.
• Students cannot exit cars before 7:30 AM.
• Please pull all the way forward.
• Please remain in your vehicle. If you need to exit your vehicle for any reason, please park in the Church parking lot and walk over to the school.

Afternoon Pick Up

• All parents and guardians must be checking in on PikMyKid.
• Be sure to announce yourself upon your arrival. Double check your PikMyKid Parent App to ensure you are logged in and auto-announcing. This will help speed up the line.
• ONLY the parent can make changes to a student's pick up person. Please make these changes in the parent app prior to 2:00 PM.
• If you are using the Car Line, please drive all the way to the back of the line. The cars are checked in in the order they arrive in line. If a car comes into the line out of order, it will disrupt the dismissal process.
• If you need to get out of the car for any reason, including helping your child buckle or business in the school, please park in the church parking lot and walk over.

If you need help with the Parent App, contact Mrs. Coy or review the attached PikMyKid Parent App Quick Start Guides. We appreciate your help in making dismissal run quickly and smoothly!

Parents/Guardians of students in Grades 3-8 will receive a daily automatic gradebook notification email any time a student receives a grade of 0, Missing, Incomplete or Absent. Grade reports for all students will be automatically generated and sent on Sundays. These emails will automatically come from Mrs. Coy's email. Be sure to reach out to the teacher of the grade/class in question for specific questions. As a reminder, you may not see too many items on the grade reports this Sunday since we are just getting back into our routines at school.
