Important Information Regarding Summer Programs
At Carrollton, we are committed to the health and well-being of our community. The Carrollton campus is currently closed until further notice. Decisions regarding camp operations will be made in conjunction with our school re-opening. Once a decision is made on the status of opening our school facility, information regarding our summer programs will be made and further information will be posted on our website and social media pages. For now, we urge you to follow the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization and practice social distancing. A complete refund will be offered in the event that our in-person summer camp is canceled.
We have also created several Virtual Camp options with our trusted partners. These camps will offer children 9th through 12th a combination of self-paced learning with live online classes. With the highest quality in remote instruction, campers will unlock their brilliance and create and participate in exciting new projects every week. Registration for Carrollton’s Virtual Camps opens on June 1st. Please review our flyer for more information. If you have any questions please contact our Summer Programs Director at ddelvalle@carrollton.org.
Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart is hopeful that an on-campus Summer Scholars Program will be offered in late July and early August. In the event we cannot open in time, Carrollton will move to a virtual model for these courses. More information will be provided in the coming weeks. Registration for Summer Scholars will open July 1, 2020, through the Parent Portal, Summer Programs Tab.

The Mentor Program
The Mentor Program is a program to help new families (Mentees) in adjusting to life at Carrollton. The program is set up to help pass along the special heritage of Sacred Heart, the importance of the Goals and Criteria, and what it means to be part of our family. We have two wonderful parents who will be our Mentor Liaisons, Marisol Hidalgo for Grades 7-12, and Michelle Berio Calderin for Grades M3-6. Their job is to ensure that the families connect and share with the Mentors on the happenings at the school. Mentors will be assigned in May with intentions that they reach out to the Mentees before summer.
