Student & Family Handbook School Supply List Uniform Guidelines

Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart does not deny anyone education based on their immigration status or their family’s immigration status. Regardless of federal policy changes related to immigration enforcement, Josephinum will continue to actively protect students, staff, and their families.

In accordance with the Illinois Trust Act and Chicago's Welcoming City Ordinance, Josephinum:

DOES NOT ask for our families' immigration status
WILL NOT coordinate with federal immigration enforcement agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
DOES NOT share student records with ICE or any other federal representatives, except in the rare case where there is a court order or consent from the parent/guardian
WILL NOT allow ICE agents or any other federal representatives access to CPS facilities unless they produce a criminal judicial warrant signed by a federal judge Josephinum has provided guidance to school leaders and the appropriate staff regarding interactions with ICE.

While Josephinum is doing everything we can to ensure school property remains a safe place for all students, we also recognize that families are feeling anxiety about immigration enforcement actions. We encourage families to explore the resources on this page as well as immigration services in your area.
