HSA

***The HSA has launched a Yahoo group. This is not an official school group, rather a way for parents to share information and parenting tips with each other. Here is the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bss_hsa/

All families become members of the Home and School Association (HSA) upon the enrollment of their children in Blessed Sacrament. Members of the faculty and administration are also members of the Association. The mission of the Home and School Association is:

To promote open communication and cooperation among the parents, teachers and administrators in support of the mission of Blessed Sacrament School.
To provide opportunities for parents to be of service to the school and to coordinate these services.
To enhance the quality of the school through a program of fundraising activities directed toward specific objectives.

School-wide meetings of the HSA are generally held in the fall (Back to School Night), winter (financial meeting) and spring (election results and budget presentation). All parents are urged to attend these meetings.

The HSA Executive Committee, made up of elected and ex-officio members, meets monthly. Parents wishing to attend these meetings or place items on the agenda should contact the HSA Presidents. Copies of the HSA By-Laws are available by contacting the Secretary.

An extensive “Call for Volunteers” is issued by the HSA during the summer. Additional needs for volunteers are announced in the Blessed Sacrament School Weekly. Parents may always call HSA officers to volunteer their services.

The HSA sponsors many activities during the year to encourage Teacher-Parent communication and fund raising. These include:

Sally Foster Gift Wrap
New Parent Reception
Book Fair
Faculty/Staff Luncheons
Spring Benefit
Uniform Exchange
Parent Education Programs
Grocery Receipts Program
Grandparents’ Day
Italian Dinner
Directory/Handbook
BSS Merchandising
