From the Principal

Dear Parents,

I would like to take this opportunity, half way through the trimester, to remind parents of Middle School students to check their children’s grades in Teacher Ease. Sign in with your account at Teacher Ease (use the email where you get your Eagle Express), or contact me for help! Please contact your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns.

Our fabulous Friday Fish Fry is starting next Friday, October 18th! Schedules for the volunteers assigned is linked below – please make sure to check it! If you aren’t volunteering, come to eat the best fish fry in town with your friends and neighbors!

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to Harper and Kingston Block and family! They will be joining our kindergarten, starting tomorrow! We are happy to have you as part of our IHM Faith community.

Catholic Schools provide a firm foundation for the growth and development of your child. Pray for a year filled with faith and learning. Let us be a community of service to one another and to our world.
Callie Meiller, Principal

K-8 families: Please see the linked letter below explaining the $60 HSA fee that will be charged to all FACTS tuition accounts this month. This is the first half of the fee; the second $60 will be charged in February.

The HSA will be having a Scrip contest for the month of October! All families who make any Scrip purchase in October will be entered once to win a Bucky Book, graciously donated by the Genne family. Stay tuned for variations of Scrip contests throughout the year.

Booking Thanksgiving or Christmas travel? Consider using Scrip! Delta Airlines is currently on special at 8% rebate on shopwithscrip.com. Southwest Airlines and Hotels.com Scrip can also be purchased online. Current bonus offers include Domino’s Pizza, L.L. Bean, Outback Steakhouse, TGI Friday’s and more.

Thanks to all who voted to approve the HSA bylaws amendments! The amendments passed unanimously. After further examining the text, the HSA board would like to change all mentions of “HSA budget” within the document to “HSA fundraising goals.” We will assume acceptance of this language change unless we hear otherwise by e-mail at ihmhsa@gmail.com.
