Congratulations and Blessings to all who are receiving the Sacrament of First Communion this weekend. We are livestreaming on our parish Facebook and You Tube pages if you are not able to join us live.
We continue to reinforce good hand washing, hand sanitizing, and strong cleaning regimens. Our community COVID-19 positivity rate is starting to plateau. Please continue to mask always, wash your hands regularly and thoroughly, and use hand sanitizer before and after interactions with common touch points and people.
The Indiana State Department of Health met with all principals Thursday evening. Their message was a desire to keep in class opportunities open to all students recognizing the value of in person education. Schools can not do it alone. We must have full participation of the families in order to ensure continued in class opportunities. Please follow the new protocols daily. CLICK HERE to read the protocols again. Keep these in a place where it will remind you before you leave the house each morning.
Digital Access
CLICK HERE to take our survey. We need all families to take this new survey to assist us in ensuring appropriate digital access for all from home.
Volunteers needed
We need you to participate in our school. We have several ways to help:
- Recess Help - The most fun part of every school day
- Equipment Donations - Make recess more fun
- Giving Garden - Harvest some of the most beautiful food on the planet weekly
- Outdoor Projects - Build, create, and deliver
You can sign up to come regularly for the garden and recess so that we do not stress about doing it alone ;)

- If one stays home, you all stay home
- Contact nurse@smsindy.org or call the office 317-255-7153 if you stay home
If we have a positive case in the school and your child is considered close contact, you will be notified by the school to determine next steps. At this time we have had no positive cases and most students are coming to school healthy and ready to learn. Please protect everyone by staying home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms. We have a great chance of remaining open for education with strong family participation.
No School on Monday, September 7th.
All Middle School Specials Schedules will be completed and distributed prior to September 8th.
