“We Keep Growing Taller.”

The great redwoods of California are one of the beautiful natural wonders of North America.  These giant evergreens can grow to a towering 300 feet tall and live for hundreds of years.  For all their magnificence, one would think the redwoods would require a deep root system to keep them upright.  Instead, they have roots that spread out along the surface of the forest floor to capture all the moisture possible, intertwining with the roots of other redwoods in the grove.  The interlocking roots securely support and sustain these giant sequoias when storms strike and fierce winds blow.  The trees' survival depends on the combined support of one another.  When we stand together...support one another...encourage one another...we become strong together, and like the giant redwoods, we keep growing taller.

DIBS information-Tracking Your Hours

 We hope everyone is finding the new DIBS Program as an easy way to find the events you want to volunteer for and for keeping track of those hours. If you have not checked your hours, please do so. We want to make sure everyone is getting credit for volunteering here at SHS. Checking your hours is very easy.

 Login to your DIBS account

Click on "My DIBS: View all my current DIB items" (it's in a gray box, middle of the screen, right hand side).

Once you click on that, a new screen will pop up that will show you what you have signed up for and if it has been "completed".

You will be able to see how many volunteer hours you have completed and how many hours you have left to complete in order to hit your 20 volunteer hours.

 If you have worked an event and it is not on there, or has yet to be marked "complete", please let us know. We want to make sure everyone gets the volunteer hours they have worked.

For information on our athletic program, please go to Ms. Ekegren's web page and/or the sports calendar on this web site.

Research shows that children will eat more of their lunch if they go outside first to play and then sit down to eat lunch.

Simply sign in at the school office and meet your child in the lunchroom.

Sacred Heart Catholic School strives to be a Christ-centered, Catholic community where students receive a Catholic education and a challenging academic curriculum.  We are proud that we have been accredited since 1990.  Last year, Sacred Heart went through the accreditation process that occurs every seven years.   A MNSAA team of nine principals and teachers spent three days with us to validate our report and strategic plan.  All components may be viewed under the accreditation tab.  Currently, some of the primary elements of our strategic plan include:

.    rigorous curriculum review and updating

·    integrating technology into the curriculum

·    updating school facilities (included in parish plan)

·    promoting a safe, school environment with a focus on character development

·    furnishing a high quality Catholic educational program at an affordable tuition rate

Our final strategic plan will be submitted to MNSAA in December, 2011.  We will keep parents informed of the progress of our plan.

Attached is the Parent Toolkit to help you understand our new standardized testing for grade 2-7.

Some great websites for children are also included.

At Sacred Heart Catholic School, students are tested in two ways in which they receive a Lexile score, Map and SRI.  In order for everyone to have a better understanding of Lexiles, we have included this memo, the explanation from the official website.  If you need further information or need help finding appropriate books please visit  HYPERLINK "http://www.lexile.com" www.lexile.com

Click on Lexile tools, Find a book, type in your child's lexile score noted on the MAP results.  

This is a great website to help your child improve comprehension and vocabulary.
