Lower School

Class Newsletters (updated weekly by faculty)
Kindergarten 4th Grade
1st Grade 5th Grade
2nd Grade 6th Grade
3rd Grade  

The lower school is looking to add new game options for students at recess. If you have any gently used tennis or pickleball rackets that are no longer being used at home, we could put them to good use. Donations can be dropped off during lower school drop-off/pick up or the main office. Thank you for helping make recess even more fun for our students.

Parents of Kindergarten–2nd grade
If your child packs a lunch, please provide food that does not need to be heated up at school. Hot items can be placed in a thermal food container at home. This will maximize your child's eating time, allow adults to focus on supporting students, and they will have more time to eat and visit with friends. 

Tennis and Pickleball Rackets for lower school recess
The lower school is looking to add new game options for students at recess. If you have any gently used tennis or pickleball rackets that are no longer being used at home, we could put them to good use.

Middle School

Chess Club
Chess Club meets in Mr. Leaman’s room (111) from 3:15 to 4:15 each Tuesday. Email Mr. Leaman with questions!

Upper School

The Advanced Choir will be performing at the Indiana Non-Public Education Association meetings in Indianapolis on Friday morning. The bus will depart at 6:30am, so students should be at school and on the bus by then. Plans are to return by the end of the school day. Please do not schedule any appointments for students that day.

Games Needed for High School Lunch and Breaks
With the new no-phone policy in place, our high school students are looking for fun, engaging ways to spend time together during lunch and breaks. We’d like to build a collection of games—board games, card games, puzzles, and other activities—that students can enjoy in small or large groups. If you have gently used games to donate, please send them in with your student to take to the office. This is a great way to help foster community, laughter, and connection among our students. Students have suggested the following games: Puzzles, decks of playing cards, Uno, Phase 10, Skip Bo, Wavelength, Battleship, Sequence, Ticket to Ride, and Mastermind. Thank you for considering.
