ADMISSIONS INFORMATION Parents of students often say that from the moment they walked through our doors, they knew Sacred Heart was the right fit for their child. In whatever way your decision unfolds—through research, talking with friends, attending one of our Admissions Coffees, or all three —we’re here to partner with you. The Admissions Office is happy to answer your questions and provide the kind of detailed information that will assist you in your decision-making process. KINDERGARTEN EARLY DECISION OPTION Whether you’re still considering other schools or are confident that you want your child to attend Sacred Heart, you can apply in the fall of the year that your child turns 3 years old. Children who receive early acceptance can remain at their current preschool for junior kindergarten or their 4-year-old program, and parents can plan for the future knowing that a space has been reserved in Sacred Heart’s kindergarten when their child is 5. (All children must be 5 years old by September 1 of the year they enter kindergarten.)  SOME FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW Free after school care This daily free program provides homework help and other super- vised activities for students until 6 pm. Parents can also drop off their children before school starts—beginning at 7:15 am. Bus service Sacred Heart offers daily bus service to several Chicago neighbor- hoods. Ask our Admissions Office for details. Strong in studies, serious in purpose, rich in the spirit of life and love. This is a Sacred Heart education. 17
