Dear Alumni (High School Students, and Parents),

As the new Principal here at Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have welcomed high school aged alumni into our building as visitors.  I am pleased at the number of students who return back to visit their former grade school, teachers and current students.  Your visits are a testament to the fine quality of students we have graduated over the number of years.  I will continue to welcome you next school year.

With the uncertainty of the world we live in, I need to take precautions regarding your visits next year.  I need to maintain a safe and secure environment for the students in the building.  Our school parents depend on me for a safe learning environment without many interruptions in teaching.

Therefore, I am asking a simple request from you.  High School students who care to visit us during our school hours, need to call the school office(216-381-0363) a day or two ahead of your visit.  Please clear your time with me.  Know, too, that your visit may be only 30-45 minutes in length.  The teachers cannot continue to teach if your visit is too lengthy.  My first priority is class instruction, so visits may be monitored.  I know you understand that our students and our parents are important stakeholders here at Sacred Heart.

Please know that I will try to accommodate visits as best as possible without causing too much of a disturbance to education.  I am happy to know that so many students relish their grade school experiences here and want to come back to say hello to the faculty.  Your understanding to the sensitivity of this issue is appreciated.

God Bless You.

Sincerely,

William DiBacco
SHJA  Principal
