Polos

On Mass days, K-12 students are required to wear a Mass polo (either long or short sleeve) and Mass day dress. New families are eligible to order a free polo for every new student attending Sacred Heart School. Current/returning families may purchase additional polos.

• Q: Are there polo color requirements this year?
  • A: No, students of any grade can select white, black, purple, or gray. 

• Q: Where can I find a sizing chart?
  • A: You can select and view any item in the store. Underneath each item is a link to a sizing chart.

• Q: Can I purchase my own polo and have it embroidered with the SHS logo?
  • A: No. Mass day polos serve as a Mass day uniform. With the number of colors, designs, brands and logos for polos on the market today, this option would defeat the purpose of having a Mass day polo.

2022-2023 Sacred Heart School Calendar - Updated 9-21-2022

AthletiC CALENDARS (REGION 8)


Weather Cancellations

We recognize storm cancellations may put undue stress on many of you regarding childcare. Traditionally, due to the busing partnership with East Grand Public School for our Minnesota residents, we have usually followed the same plan regarding storm delays and cancellations.  Sacred Heart has decided that, moving forward, we may not always follow East Grand Forks District #595’s decision regarding storm cancellations.  For example, in a two-hour late scenario, we may choose to have school starting at 10:15am, even if East Grand Forks District #595 closes for the day. We have a much higher percentage of families who live within the city limits of East Grand Forks and Grand Forks resulting in possible safe travel, but we ask that you make your own parental decision regarding travel to school based on your situation.  Please look for text alerts and/or emails from the school regarding late starts and school closures.  If you do not have an email or cell phone registered for alerts, please contact Dana Yanish at [email protected]

Student Safety for Arrival and Departure: 

We want to ensure that all students are accounted for at all times. Education is a very important part of our students lives and being punctual is essential. Students should arrive at school by 8:05am so they have time to settle in and get to their classroom by the 8:15am bell.

Faith & Family Night

Families today are busier than ever. As a Catholic school, Sacred Heart has the obligation to support the family - the domestic church. The Catholic Church teaches that the family is the basic unit of society. St. Pope John Paul II said, "as the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live." St. Mother Teresa said, "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." 

To honor the importance of family life, Sacred Heart stops all activities at 5:30pm on Wednesday nights to allow families to be together. This time is known at Sacred Heart as Faith, Family, Fun Night. 

For Faith, Family, Fun Night there will be a movie of the month, a prayer focusing on the virtue of the week and an activity for families. Families are encouraged, but not required, to join the activities.  Prayers and other suggestions are posted weekly on our >> Sacred Heart Facebook page.
