Dear SHS Parents, Students, and Staff,
Today’s final newsletter marks the end of another successful school year at Sacred Heart School. It's a time for reflection, celebration, and perhaps even a few mixed emotions as we say goodbye to the familiar routines of the classroom.
We've witnessed incredible growth in all our students this year, academically, socially and spiritually. Whether it was mastering new concepts, overcoming challenges, or forging strong friendships, their achievements fill us with immense pride. Thank you for your partnership throughout the year in supporting their learning journey. We're grateful for the dedication of our teachers and staff who have nurtured our students' curiosity and fostered a love of learning. Their tireless efforts have created a supportive environment where each child felt empowered to reach their full potential.
Looking ahead to summer, we encourage our students to explore their interests, recharge their batteries, and come back in the fall ready for new adventures. May God bless you and your families with a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer break. I look forward to welcoming you back for a new school year filled with exciting possibilities!
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Joanna Barlow
Principal

Have you noticed the "Now Enrolling" signs along the SHS curb line? They're already making a difference. We've had several families express interest after seeing the signs, and some have even registered their children for the 2024-2025 school year.
We're eager to continue introducing families to the wonderful SHS community. If you live on a busy street or own a business in the surrounding area, we'd love your help! By displaying a "Now Enrolling" sign, you can play a vital role in welcoming new families to our school. Simply email yfortin@sacred-heart-school.org and we'll get a sign to you as soon as possible. Together, let's spread the word about our amazing SHS community!

CAR LINE SAFETY INFORMATION
Over the past few weeks, we have seen some reckless driving during drop off and pick up. In an effort to keep everyone safe, please read below and refresh yourselves with our drop off and pick up procedures.
CAR LINE TIPS ON ARRIVAL
Form 2 lanes. The right lane is for grades K-8, the left lane is for our Pre-K students. Families with students in both PreK and K-8 should stay in the right lane.
When arriving you will be greeted by Father John and myself. Please wait your turn in the car lanes. Once in the drop off area, have your child exit the car. K-8 students will be dropped off in front of the main gym doors. Pre-K will circle around and be dropped off in front of the church. Pre-K Parents please make sure to pull up to the Student Drop Off Ends Here sign so other cars can move in behind you. Our staff on duty will assist in making sure your children arrive safely to their classrooms.
Once you have dropped off your child/children please do not cut out of lane instead wait until the car in front of you moves to exit the campus. When exiting please be mindful that cars may turn in front of you to drop off at preschool or to exit the campus.
CAR LINE TIPS FOR PICK-UP
Form 2 lanes. In the interest of safety for your child/children and others:
Children will not be permitted to enter a car until the car is in front of the auditorium. Please pull all the way up to the "Drop off ends here" sign even if your child is standing in another place.
If one of the car lanes is moving, children must wait until the cars stop moving before going to their car. If you must exit your car to buckle seat belts, we ask that you use the lane closest to the auditorium. Please pick up your child as quickly as possible, being mindful of the extremely long line behind you. We are discouraged from blocking Clifton Avenue.
