Lunch/Recess Duty: Help Still Needed for February

Thank you to everyone that has helped to support our Parent Volunteer Program for lunch/recess duty. 

Your help has allowed the lunches to run smoothly and efficiently and helped to keep our students safe and active as they play outside.

We have a ton of need for help and volunteers in February and so if you have not yet completed your 6 required days, please sign up today. 

If we do not have enough parents signed up, we cannot send students outside for recess. We want them to get outside as often as possible and so your help is needed.

Dates we need help:

• Wednesday, February 19th
• Thursday, February 20th
• Tuesday, February 25th
• Wednesday, February 26th
• Thursday, February 27th

March is approaching and also has a good number of days that need support.

If you have completed your family's 6 required days, but are available to help more, please sign up. We appreciate all of your support.

Parent Lunch/Recess Sign Up

If you are unable to complete your 6 required days, please send in your check for $120 to the school office ($20 per day you cannot volunteer). Thank you to everyone that has already sent their duty payment.

Sacred Heart Winter Sports Schedule

Keep up to date with Sacred Heart’s sports this winter with this schedule link below. You can also find the Winter Sports Schedule on our school website under “Athletics” and “SHAA Events”.

During basketball season, it's great to see our school spirit with so many student fans in attendance. Unfortunately, some of our student fans are not supervised by an adult and leave the building to walk around the neighborhood, play around in the basement of the Activities Building, or run onto the court without permission during timeouts or breaks.

To ensure your child's safety and to make sure that games are run smoothly without issue, it is required that students in 8th grade and under have an adult in the building that is supervising them. This can be a parent or one parent that can supervise a group of students. Students cannot be dropped off without a plan for adult supervision.

Please make sure that students:

• Do not go onto the court and play during timeouts or breaks between quarters or half time.
• Sit in the bleaches only and not on the floor at the baseline.

Thank you for your cooperation in making this a fun and safe basketball season!
