SACRED HEART SCHOOL: A SAFE AND NURTURING COMMUNITY
One of the multitude of positive comments that the administration and faculty receive from parents each year is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that their children are in a safe environment in our facility. That’s no accident. Safety is one of our top priorities.
Thanks to our small classes, teachers know each student (and usually their parent(s) too) exceptionally well. They are aware of their level of maturity, their strengths, and their challenges. The term “in loco parentis”, Latin for "in the place of a parent", refers to the legal and moral responsibility of teachers and schools to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. All of us at Sacred Heart School including the principal, teachers, aides, and monitors take this mandate very seriously.
Constant supervision is a requirement at our school. Attendance at the elementary level is taken daily. At the middle school, it is taken in every class. Students are not left alone in the classroom without adult supervision. Teachers escort their class to and from recess, lunch, special classes, and assemblies. Monitors faithfully oversee recess and lunch. All students are accounted for during fire and lock-down drills.
If a child becomes ill or has an accident, parents are notified immediately.
When you drop off your child at our school, you can rest assured that their safety is of the utmost importance to our entire staff.
All of our students are precious to us, and nurturing them in addition to educating them is an essential aspect of our professional responsibilities. We are exceptionally fortunate to have a staff that is uniformly child oriented. They have entered the teaching profession because of their love of children, and their decision to teach in a Catholic school, where they earn substantially less than they would in public schools, is further testimony to their unyielding dedication to the wellbeing of the students in their care. Most of our teachers are parents themselves and understand the needs of children from personal experience.
Students, depending on their ages and levels of maturity, need different kinds of consideration and care. Kindergartners and first graders in particular require consistent personal attention, stimulation, and nurturing. As students progress through elementary school, they also receive warm, caring, and encouraging attention from their teachers. And when they reach middle school and have attained a greater maturity, the continued nurturing is combined with gradual training in individual responsibility to prepare them for success in high school.
At Sacred Heart parents are indispensable partners with teachers in the successful socialization and education of our students. That is why we forge meaningful relationships with parents through various means of communication so that together we can foster the best interests of your children.
President Kennedy once wisely asserted: “Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” We at Sacred Heart wholeheartedly subscribe to that view.
Your children are our most valuable resource. For that reason, we treat them as devotedly as if they were our own.
