PARENT ACTIVITIES and RESPONSIBILITIES
Sacred Heart Academy School Advisory Commission (SAC)
The School Advisory Commission shall assist in the operation of Sacred Heart
Academy in order to provide a strong educational program based on Catholic values
and to provide a sound fiscal policy for the operation of the school. The SAC shall
promote communications for the general welfare of the school in line with the religious,
moral, cultural and educational purposes of Sacred Heart Academy and the Diocese of
St. Petersburg Office of Catholic Schools and Centers.
The SAC operates under a constitution and by-laws approved by the Diocese and Sacred
Heart Church. The majority of SAC members are parents of school students. Other members
of the SAC are parishioners of Sacred Heart Catholic Community. The first part of each
SAC meeting is an open meeting, at which time any interested person may bring a topic of
discussion to the attention of the SAC. Then, if business of a confidential nature must
be transacted, the SAC reserves the right to retire to executive session.
Home and School Association (HEART Club)
The HEART Club is a parents’ organization working for the benefit of the school
and its students. The acronym stands for Home, Education, Attitude, Respect and
Togetherness. The HEART Club plans several adult and/or family events each year.
These events will provide occasions for community building as well as fundraising.
While the goal of these events is to help meet the school’s financial responsibilities,
their community-creating goals are most important for the home and school connection.
Participation in some manner, volunteer or financial, is encouraged.
The HEART Club’s primary purposes are as follows:
- To help parents and teachers work toward the ideals of Catholic education.
- To promote clearer understanding of the mutual educational responsibilities of
parents and teachers.
- To be a financial support group for the betterment of the school.
