Summer Reading & Assignments
Summer Reading
Summer reading and assignments are designated by grade level and are required for all students. As research has shown, the most effective time a student can spend in the summer to maintain her learning is to read daily – even if it’s for just 15-20 minutes.
Summer Assignments
Upper School Math: All incoming and returning Upper School students will receive an email during the first week of summer break from Upper School Math Department Chair, Ms. Lipton. The email will contain a link to IXL math review problems, as well as username and password information. Math review is not required, but is recommended so upper school students stay current on their math skills.
School Supplies
Supply lists for 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade are below. Any supplies needed for 10th-12th grade courses will be communicated on the first day of class.

Uniforms
Uniforms are an integral part of who we are as a Sacred Heart community. This uniform policy may be adapted as needed throughout the year.
Make sure to order your Dress Uniform items as early as possible as Lands' End and Dennis are still experiencing supply chain shortages and delays. Dress Uniform is required for the first day of school.

Transportation services are available before and after school via Mercedes Sprinter vans driven by our own faculty and staff. Our in-house Transportation Program allows us to be flexible in our stop offerings each year, while covering a wide geographic area. Our Transportation team works to design routes that keep road time to a minimum while serving as many families as possible.
