The window to apply for financial assistance of any type (Diocesan or SH assistance) will open on October 15th. Families are strongly encouraged to complete their application by December 3, 2023 for maximum consideration. Please note that this is for next school year. All Diocesan scholarships help support Sacred Heart Academy’s overall funding – please apply even if you are unsure you will qualify. Here are the  Blackbaud Parent Instructions. These are also linked on the enrollment page. Please email sklooster@shgr.org if you would like a copy in Spanish. Families that have used Blackbaud already should use their same login credentials. Families who need to create an account should follow the instructions linked above and in this handy  Blackbaud Parent Application Guide. The Diocese will process the first round of applications that are received and verified by December 3, 2023. If you would like maximum consideration for any type of financial aid for next year, please ensure you have a verified application by December 3. To ensure a “verified” application, you should apply as soon as possible so that Blackbaud can follow up with you if necessary to get your application to a “verified” status. Neither the Diocese, nor SHoJ will consider financial assistance for “unverified” applications. Additionally, all those current families who want to be considered for assistance MUST have a “verified” application no later than March 1, 2024. Although the Diocese might award aid for applications after this deadline, Sacred Heart will not consider applications for local aid submitted after the March 1, 2024 deadline apart from exigent circumstances.

Immunization records are required by the State of Michigan to be reported to schools for all students entering childcare (Montessori), Kindergarten, 7th Grade, and all students new to SHA. Please submit your childrens’ immunization records to Helen Kennedy at the Academy Office ASAP. The reporting deadline is NOVEMBER 1st. Please note that even if you completed this last year as a new family, you will still need to do this for all children entering the grades specified above. Non-Medical waivers can be obtained from the Health Department. If you would like to obtain a waiver, make an appointment at your local Health Department office soon! Appointments fill up fast!

VIRTUS training helps keep our kids safe. If you and/or your spouse plan to volunteer in any capacity this coming school year, you MUST have VIRTUS training.

“Kentucky Derby – A Night at the Races”
This is a night you will NOT want to miss. The annual Parish and Academy auction date is Friday, October 13, 2023. Doors open at 6pm at the Goei Center with a strolling dinner, a robust silent auction and Heart-to-Heart tables that benefit specific needs within the parish and academy. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and while we do need to raise funds, our bigger initiative is to build relationships! So ladies, start making your hats now and plan for an evening of fun and friendly competition. If you are interested in helping with the planning, please reach out to Amber Hiske at ahiske@shgr.org.
