 Work-Study Assignments
Students awarded tuition assistance in grades 7 - 12 must participate in the Academy’s work-study program. Work-study assignments are coordinated by the Director of Special Events, Toni Normand (Email: tnormand@sacredhearts.org / Tel: 734-5058, ext. 261).

Students are asked to be available during the middle of August to assist teachers before the school year begins.

Work study students are asked to be available August 7 and 8 to assist teachers in preparing for the start of the school year.

Work-study students will be assigned to complete specific task for 30 minutes each school day. Typical tasks include cleaning classrooms, filing, preparing bulletin boards, and helping with classroom set-up. Consistent quality performance of assignments is expected. Unsatisfactory performance of task or inadequate attendance will be grounds for revocation of tuition aid.
