Full Day Program Hours:
8:00 am - 3:00 pm (Drop off between 8:00 am -  8:15 am)

Half Day Program Hours:
8:00 am - 12:00 pm (Drop off between 8:00 am - 8:15 am)

ALL Barat Center students (both half-day and full-day) will be dismissed at 12:00 pm during the first week of school (Wednesday, September 4 - Friday, September 6).

(Early drop off begins at 7:45 am at the Gillespie Science Center entrance. Students are supervised in the Lower School early room until 8:00 am and are then walked over to Barat Center.)

Drop Off & Pick Up Procedure:
Caregivers should pull up behind the Barat Center in a single line to drop off and pick up their children. We ask that caregivers remain in their cars during drop off and pick up as teachers will assist students getting in and out of their cars. If possible, we recommend that caregivers position car seats or booster seats behind the passenger seat to ensure the efficiency of the car line.

Extended Day: Monday - Friday, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

• Available for all full-day students in Barat Center - Grade 4.

This program is designed to give parents extended childcare coverage, and is available on a drop-in basis or through sign-up through the Sacred Heart Parent Portal. Extended Day begins the first day of school. Extended day for Barat Center students will begin the first full day of Barat Center programming (Monday, September 9, 2024). The cost of Extended Day ($15 per hour) is charged to a family's billing account monthly.

Every Barat Center student should bring a water bottle and backpack to the first day of school. Sacred Heart Greenwich will provide all other school supplies. We also ask that students bring rain boots and a rain jacket to leave in their cubby for Mustard Seeds, the weekly outdoor exploration program that is part of the Barat Center curriculum.

Sacred Heart Greenwich's food service provider, FLIK Independent School Dining, will provide lunch and daily nut-free snacks for Barat Center students, which they will enjoy with classmates and teachers in the Barat Center classrooms.

Barat Center uniforms can be purchased from FlynnO'Hara and Lands' End. 

PE uniforms are purchased through the Sacred Heart Greenwich Bookstore.
(Students can wear their PE uniforms to school on the two days per week that they have PE.)

More detailed information about the Barat Center uniform can be found here.

Please be sure that all of your child's clothing and personal items are appropriately labeled with name tags or indelible ink. This includes lunch boxes, coats, shoes and boots. Doing so will enable us to return lost items to their rightful owners quickly. 

There will be a weekly newsletter sent to parents on Friday afternoons with important announcements and upcoming events.

Please check the Sacred Heart Greenwich calendar for all major dates and holidays.

Please remember that we cannot administer any medication to your child, non-prescription drugs included, without either the completed Permission to Administer Medication form (obtained from the Health Office), or a signed note from your physician. All medications must be in their original prescription bottles. Please email the Health Office with any questions at healthoffice@cshct.org.

All Barat Center students are expected to be fully toilet trained by the first day of school. We recognize that accidents do happen, so students should bring an extra change of clothes and undergarments to keep in their cubby, just in case. 

Please remember that no child may be in school without his or her appropriate health and emergency forms. Please log into the Parent Portal (click the green "Expand Menu" button at the top of this page and then click "Community Login") to complete any school forms due by August 1st. Medical forms should be submitted via Magnus Health, which you can access by clicking the Magnus Health forms in the Parent Portal. Required forms for the 2024-2025 school year will be posted in early July.

The final schedule of Barat Center "specials" will be shared in September and will include PE (plus dance & swimming), library, art, music, Mustard Seeds, violin (for students ages 4 and up), theology, Spanish, Prayer Buddies, chapel services and liturgies.
