Dear Parents,

2
 Since the founding of Sacred Heart Academy in 1947, the school has strived to
meet the challenges of the times while adhering religiously to the Sacredian tradition
of education. We seek always to act with wisdom and prudence to ensure that the
school continues to thrive as a center for spiritual, educational and intellectual
excellence for generations of new students.

This year, the school will mark its 75th Anniversary as an institution for those
who value quality Christian education. I can say with pride that through the years
SHALL has fulfilled the vision of its founder, the late Mrs. Luisa F. Kierulf. We are
definitely steering the school in the right direction as we move on the road of
excellence.

As the world changes, we too must change. We must do so while remaining

faithful to the ideals of SHALL. The school will always remain a beacon for those
who value education within a Christian tradition. It continues to guide students as
they begin the most important years of their lives.

We highly value our students. Let us make SHALL a special place at a special
time in the lives of your children. With all of us working together as a SHALL family,
we look forward to a terrific year!

Sincerely yours,

MR. JOSE ANTONIO F. KIERULF

School Director

A Brief History of Sacred Heart Academy of La Loma

4
 Sacred Heart Academy started as a Sunday Catechism School in La Loma
founded by the late Mrs. Luisa F. Kierulf in 1947. Being a fervent devotee of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus, Mrs. Kierulf named the school Sacred Heart Academy of La Loma
(SHALL).

From its humble beginning of being a Sunday Catechism school, it grew to

become an institution of learning offering pre-school, elementary and secondary
education. Its commitment to provide quality Christian Education to the youth likewise
grew which has been perpetuated by Mrs. Kierulf’s children who valued so much the
legacy left by their mother.

The primary objective and rationale behind the creation of SHALL as a learning
institution seventy-five (75) years ago as a Sunday Catechism school continues to this
day and is deeply embedded permanently in the school’s scholastic curriculum
propagating in every child Catholic Christian Values and the love of God.

In the next generation, we seek to stand committed to the principles and beliefs
our founder stood for, the very same grassroots that this institution still stands on today –
to instill in every child solid Christian value combined with the very best academic and
scholastic programs the school can offer. Our commitment to these principles and
beliefs fueled us to celebrate our 75 th Anniversary. If the trend continues, the legacy of
our institution is assured in the next generations to come.

Sacred Heart Academy Trademarks

The Cross is the eternal symbol of the ultimate sacrifice of our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. The Sacred Heart
symbolizes the purity of our Lord that paved the way for our Salvation.

The Kjaerulf (Kierulf) Family Crest represents the long & rich history of the family (400 AD) behind the Sacred
Heart Academy Schools. It embodies not only courage and strength of the family but integrity, excellence and
service to God, Family and Service. These are the character traits imputable to all Sacredians and precisely
what good education must embody as well.
There exist a symbiotic and symbolical correlation between the institution and the Kierulf family as manifested
in the meaning of the crest and that of each of its parts:

packs and they are highly protective of their family/pack.

Definition:
1. The Written Work component ensures that students are able to express skills
and concepts in written form. Written Work which may include long quizzes,
and unit or long tests, help strengthen test-taking skills among learners. It is
strongly recommended that items in long quizzes/tests be distributed across
the Cognitive Process Dimensions so that all are adequately covered. Through
these, learners are able to practice and prepare for quarterly assessment and
other standardized assessments. Other written work may include essays,
written reports, and other written output.
2. The Performance Tasks component allows learners to show what they know
and are able to do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate products or do
performance-based tasks. Performance-based tasks may include skills,

18
 demonstration, group presentations, oral work, multimedia presentations, and
research projects. It is important to note that written output may also be
considered as performance tasks.
3. Quarterly Assessment measures student learning at the end of the quarter.
These may be in the form of objective tests, performance-based assessment,
or a combination thereof.
C. How are grades computed at the end of the school year?
For Preschool
Grades in kindergarten are in numerical. Descriptions of the learners’ progress
in the various learning areas are represented using checklists and students’
portfolios. These are presented to the parents at the end of each quarter for
discussion. Additional guidelines on the kindergarten program will be issued.
For Grades 1-10
The average of the Quarterly Grades (QG) produces the final grade. The
general average is computed by dividing the sum of all final grades by the total
number of learning areas. Each learning area has equal weight. The final grade
in each learning area and the general average are rounded off to the nearest
whole number
For Grades 11 and 12
The two quarters determine the final grade in a semester.

4.3 Policies on Examinations and Report Cards

Examinations

a. Every end of the month, the accounting office sends

individual statement of accounts to pupils/students to
remind them of their dues and for them to update payments
prior to examination days.
b. No special examinations are given to students who
failed to take the mid-quarter or quarter examinations on
schedule without a valid reason. Thus, a 70% grade will be
given for the examination missed. Illness, hospitalization,
death in the family, calamities like fire and flood are the
only acceptable reasons for special examinations. In case
of sickness, a medical certificate is required to be attached
to the excuse slip. Parents inform the Principal of the
absence of the pupil/student with a request for special
examinations through the class adviser. Upon the approval
of the request, the pupil/student may take the special
examinations after paying fifty pesos per subject on the
tests missed.

19
 *Giving of special Mid-Quarter and Quarterly Examination
must be within the week immediately after the last day of
exams.
c. On examination days, pupils/ students cannot leave the
room before the warning bell, which is 5 minutes before the
end of the period. Pupils/ Students are encouraged to
review their answers before submitting their test paper to
the teacher.
d. In cases when classes are suspended or cancelled
during examination days due to typhoon, transportation
strike, etc., the same sequence of examinations will be
followed when classes resume.
Report Card:

The Report Card or Form 138 is a written record of the pupil’s/

student’s scholastic achievement and personal conduct in school. It
is issued to parents or adult representatives in a Parent-Teacher
Conference (PTC) after every quarter. Every quarter, the report card
must be inspected, acknowledged, signed and returned by the
parent/ guardian to the class adviser two (2) days after issuance.
Failure of parents to claim the report card on the designated day and
time would mean waiting for the next issuance of cards to claim it.

4.4 Promotion/ Failure:

A final grade of 75% or higher in all learning areas allows the student
to be promoted to the next grade level.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS.

The Policy Guidelines on Awards and Recognition for the K

to 12 Basic Education Program articulates the recognition

27
 see the Prefect of Discipline who will decide whether the student
may be issued an admission slip or not. Assignments and school
communications are written in the Student’s Handbook, inspected
and signed by the adviser and the parents daily. There are pages
in the handbook for excuse slips and correspondence which
parents have to accomplish as the need arises. Any teacher may
write his/her remarks in the diary and must sign under his/her
remarks. The adviser does the follow-up the following day.
Information, letters to parents, circulars, etc. are inserted in the
diary and it is the responsibility of the student to hand the
communication to his/her parents. The school handbook must
have a plastic cover and must always be kept clean, free from
unnecessary decorations such as stickers, pictures, drawings, etc.
Forging signature of parent, tampering remarks and tearing of

diary should be reported to his/her advisers and be replaced after
a week it was not found.

Procedures in Handling Disciplinary Cases

1. The Homeroom Adviser handles minor offenses, routine disciplinary cases in

his/her class in coordination with the Prefect of Discipline (POD). The class
adviser keeps a detailed record of students’ minor infractions through the
“flouting card” and presents this record to the Prefect of Discipline after two
repeats of similar minor infractions for proper disposition, while major and
offenses that are more serious go through the following steps:
A. The student is called by the adviser/subject teacher to clarify reasons for the
violation/offense. The student is made aware of the violation he/she has
committed.
B. The concerned adviser, teacher or personnel makes a written anecdotal
report and submits this to the Prefect of Discipline.
2. The Prefect of Discipline talks to the student(s) and informs his/her
parents/guardians about the violation through parents’ conference and applies
the necessary disciplinary actions as may be provided by the school’s rules
and regulations.
3. The Anecdotal report from the teacher concerned, investigation form from the
Prefect of Discipline duly signed by the offender and his/her parents/guardians
will become part of the student-offender’s permanent record and must be
35
 compiled and copies thereof are kept with the Student Affairs Office for proper
disposition and future reference.
4. The Prefect of Discipline informs the Director or any of his authorized
agents/representative about the cases that reach repeated violation status and
gives its recommendation through a written report. If the Director is convinced
that the case needs to be referred to the Discipline Committee, he will convene
the School’s Discipline Committee composed of the Principal, an appointed
teacher, and a school admin staff. The committee thereby conducts its own
investigation of the case.
5. After a thorough deliberation of the case, the Committee on Discipline gives its
recommendation/appropriate sanction(s) and endorses these to the Director for
final approval/disposition.
6. The Director informs the parents of the student offender and presents the
school’s final decision. The violation report is then signed by the parents and
the school authorities.

J. GUIDELINES FOR PRE-SCHOOL PARENTS AND PUPILS

a. Independence Policy
We teach our students to be as independent and self-reliant as possible, and to
sustain this, we encourage parents/guardians/yayas of preschoolers to stay
outside the classrooms during class hours. After the first week of classes, we
ask pre-school parents/guardians/yayas to wait for their children in the
designated waiting areas. Only in some cases where the child suffers from
separation anxiety, shall we ask the parent/yaya to stay with the child in the
classroom, till he/she is more ready to be left alone. We request that the
children be dropped off and left at the entrance gate of the building.

b. Parent- Teacher Conference

As part of the quarterly assessment, we conduct one-on-one conferences
between the adviser and the parent of a student. This is an important part of
the process of the students learning and support system. Parents are more
than just partners of the school in the education of the children. Education is a
collaborative effort of parents and the school. We therefore require all
parents/guardians to attend our quarterly PTC’s. In order to conduct our PTC’s
41
 in an orderly manner, we send home appointment slips and reserve
appointment time on a “return first- reserve first basis” for the Pre-School
department. However, for Grades 1-10 parents are informed through the Diary
and text blasts for the schedule.

c. Field Trip
Yearly, the Preschoolers have a scheduled Educational Field Trip. The venues
for this whole day affair are chosen with regard to its educational feature and
enjoyability for both parents and students. Venue choices are limited to places
that can accommodate large groups such as ours. For Pre-school to Grade 3,
we reserve one seat for a Parent/Guardian who wishes to accompany their
child. The fee for the accompanying Parent/ Guardian should be settled with
the school cashier prior to field trip date. As part of the Project Approach in our
Curriculum, the preschoolers have a second trip during the year and this half
day trip involves field study. Like little scientist they take visual notes by way of
their drawing, they meet key people and ask inquiring questions about the
place of visit. We select our venue based on the current topic of study in the
classroom and on the availability of the venue. This trip requires no additional
fees from Parents/ Guardians. On this field study trip, there is more of a formal
structure taken and the children carry with them a pencil and clipboard to
record their observations. Aside from the Parent volunteers who volunteer the
use of the cars, we ask that Parents/Guardians and Yayas not to accompany
the children on this trip for the lack of space at the venue and transportation.

d. Birthday Parties
Birthday celebrations and parties are allowed only in the Grade School
Department with the following conditions:
1) Parties/celebrations may only take up snack or lunch time, for 30
minutes.
2) Parents/Guardians must fill-out a clearance form in the Admin Office for
approval from the Pre-School Program Director or Coordinator at least 4
days before the desired date of the party.
3) For any party favors and food items to be served during the party, we
request that care be taken in ensuring that it won’t cause any harm or
illness to the children.
4) In order to maintain the safety and orderliness of the children, we cannot
allow balloons and mascots to be brought into the classrooms and school
premises.

e. School Supplies / School Bag

Just like the School’s prescribed uniform and books, we require our Pre-School
students to have the prescribed supplies listed as the art kit and the math kit.
These kits are put together for easy use in the classroom and are identified as
items to be used in classroom projects and activities. Included in the kit is a
plastic envelope that has a handle. This is intended to be used as the child’s
daily school bag. This is so that the child doesn’t carry a heavy or bulky bag
42
 that will not fit in his cubbyhole. This plastic envelope allows the teacher to
quickly do a visual check of the bag ensuring that the child has not forgotten
his workbook, diary and belongings under his/her table. Big trolley bags may
be used, but not necessary, during exam review days. Workbooks will be sent
home on or before the review days.

f. Exams / Quizzes
Exams and quizzes will be sent home for your review and acknowledgement
signature. This is a great time to go over the exam questions with your child as
a follow up and it gives the parent a chance to check for any concern or
clarification. Please return the signed exams or quizzes within 2 days of being
sent home.

g. Tutorial Request
For Parents who wish to have tutorial sessions for their child, a conference with
the Department Coordinator must be set first to be able to determine the proper
Academic intervention. The school considers tutorial as the last resort and is
not a guarantee that the student will pass the subject. As a policy, the
Department Coordinator screens and assigns a tutor based on the
qualifications. All tutorials can only be conducted after class hours and must be
facilitated by a teacher who does not teach the child’s current level. Tutorial
classes will be held in a designated classroom. Tutorial fees must be settled at
the school’s cashier.
K. STUDENT ACTIVITIES
To supplement regular classroom instruction, the school provides varied student
activities through the different school clubs and organizations. They are effective
means of complementing and enriching the academic work of students to enhance
their talents, interests and abilities. Students are only allowed to stay up to 6:00 p.m
provided they should be supervised by the teachers.

School Organizations
1. Classroom Organizations
Each class with the help of the Class Adviser elects a set of classroom officers
who help in enforcing the school regulations and act as official representatives
of the class.

2. Other clubs and organizations are organized to meet the

varied interests of students and complement classroom instructional activities.

School Assemblies
School assemblies such as monthly masses, Living Rosary,
convocations/programs, intramural, contests, symposia, musical presentations
etc. provide respite from the routinary classroom work of students and teachers
as well. Students are expected to attend these regularly and take active
participation in school activities.

Educational Trips/Outings/Exposure Trips

43
 The school provides educational field trips, exposure trips and other outreach
activities to enhance their social awareness and develop the social
responsiveness. They likewise complement and enrich the academic lives of
