Welcome,
This year’s school theme is “I Am Enough”. God calls each of us to be who we were meant to be. We are made in His likeness and in turn we are enough. Even though we all have things to do, we need to remember that we are also called to be. That is to say we strive to be prayerful, to be present, to be courageous, to be humble, to be forgiving, to be calm. With just 2 weeks left before school starts we want to make sure you have the information you need to be ready for school. Though this is a long newsletter please read everything so you do not miss out. We need you to attend meetings, finish up paperwork, and volunteer to support your child at St. Monica.
Paperwork
Our office is open Monday-Friday from 9-3 until school begins. Please make sure you have finished filling out and returning all of your paperwork including signing your voucher. If you have been approved for a voucher you are required to sign in order for it to be applied to your child’s tuition. Contact the office at office@smsindy.org or 317-255-7153 if you are not sure if your paperwork is complete.
School Supplies
CLICK HERE for the supplies list and locate your child’s grade level. Please make sure these items are brought to school either the first day of school or during new family orientation.
School Uniforms
CLICK HERE for the Dress Code
CLICK HERE for our school logo apparel
We have a dress code that is required of all students K-8th grade. Faith Filled Friday shirts will be provided after Labor Day. Until then the dress code will continue to apply for gym and no changing will be required. Preschool do not have a uniform. They should still follow the general guidelines for dress down days.
Breakfast and Lunch
We continue to be a CEP school. That means that everyone is offered a free breakfast and lunch each day. Our ability to serve high quality meals relies on participation. The more students who participate the better the meals.
Congratulations Sarah Bacon & Kassidy Cook
Sarah Bacon, St. Monica Alumni, and Kassidy Cook earned a Silver medal in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
