Sacred Hearts School' Ohana, 

Thank you for a great turnout at Back to School Night. It was a pleasure greeting new & returning families, and I look forward to an exciting and productive school year with all of you. Mahalo, for your ongoing support and commitment to your child's education. 

In the 4th quarter, students, parents, and faculty members participated in a virtual New York Times bestselling author and bullying survivor turned activist Jodee Blanco. "Sacred Hearts School recognizes that bullying and intimidation have a negative effect on school climate and negate the spirit of dignity and uniqueness of each individual we advocate for, in a Catholic School. Students who are intimidated and fearful cannot give their education the single-minded attention they need for success. Bullying can also lead to more serious violence. Every student has the right to an education and to be safe in and around school." (School Handbook pg. 35) We are happy to continue the program and discussion with Jodee Blanco in person. Parents are encouraged to attend this informative session at 6:00 pm on September 1st in the St. Marianne Cope (school) hall. Please scroll down for more information. 

Parents please be mindful of Sacred Hearts School's attendance policy. "Only five absences will be allowed each quarter without a penalty applied to the student’s report card. A total of 20 or more absences a year may result in retention. Please [contact] the [me] if further clarification is needed." (School Handbook pg. 47)

As a friendly reminder, pickup times are from 2:00-2:15 with late pick up until 2:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and from 1:00-1:15 with late pick up until 1:30 on Wednesday. Parents can pick up students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd in front of the church lawn. 

The current dismissal schedule is as follows:

KDG, 1st, and 2nd - 2:00 pm/1:00 pm on Wednesday

3rd, 4th, and 5th - 2:10 pm/1:10 pm on Wednesday

6th, 7th, and 8th - 2:15 pm/1:15 pm on Wednesday 

If you want to pick up your child after 2:15/1:15, they will wait in front of the church, and the crossing guard will cross them when you arrive. Students waiting for pickup past 2:30/1:30 will return to the school office and remain there. We hope that this plan will help to alleviate traffic during pickup time.

Student safety is our priority, so please adhere to the drop-off, pickup, and parking guidelines. Students should only be dropped off and picked up in the designated area. Parents who do not comply with our policies will have to pick up their children from the school office after school. Please scroll down to learn more about the drop-off and pickup guidelines. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely in Christ,

Mrs. Tonata Lolesio

Absences & Tardies

Picture

E. TARDINESS

Being tardy is disruptive to the flow of the opening structure of each day, whether it is prayer in the courtyard or morning tasks in the homeroom. Each student must be with his or her homeroom when the bell rings at 7:40AM. We begin each day with prayer in the courtyard. A student arriving after 7:45 is “Tardy” and must report to the office. A student who is tardy FIVE times will require some appropriate disciplinary action by the teacher. A 6th tardy will be cause for the principal’s attention. After Morning Prayer, the homeroom is an important time for communication between the teacher and students.

 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

Sunday, August 14, 2022

This Sunday's Readings

First Reading
Jeremiah 38:4-6,8-10 
Jeremiah is punished for criticizing the wealthy for their corruption and their injustice to the poor.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 40:2-4,18
A prayer for God's help

Second Reading
Hebrews 12:1-4
Let us persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.

Gospel Reading
Luke 12:49-53
Jesus has come not only to bring peace but also division.

Talk as a family about the things that you do together to bring about family unity (togetherness), such as sharing meals, going to church together, celebrating special occasions, or sharing family traditions. Explain that all of these things are important and that Jesus wants families to show this kind of love for one another. Point out that this Sunday's Gospel sounds as though Jesus is saying something very different. Tell your children to listen closely as you read aloud Luke 12:49-53.

Explain that sometimes as parents, you have to make decisions that are unpopular with your children. You don't do it to divide the family but because it is the right thing to do. In the short run, such decisions may “divide” children from their parents. In the long run, however, doing the right thing will bring about a deeper unity. Talk to your children about decisions that they have to make that might be unpopular with their friends and how these decisions may divide them from others. Encourage them to pray to the Holy Spirit for the gift of courage (fortitude) so that they may do the right thing even if unpopular. Conclude by praying a spontaneous prayer to the Holy Spirit, asking for the gift of courage (fortitude).

Children preparing for Confirmation & First Holy Communion please continue to attend Mass regularly each week on Saturday evening (vigil) or Sunday.
