From the Office

Dear Parents,

IHM is happy to have three co-ed, class volleyball teams for the 5th, 7th, and 8th grades! Practices have started, and games will start soon! See the IHM Eagle Athletics section below for this weekends games. Our sports league, MAISL, has issued the following guidelines for the games:

Only 2 fans per player are allowed, with distancing, inside the gyms.
Fans are only allowed in the gyms for their player’s game. Please do not enter the gym until it has cleared from the previous game, and please leave immediately after your game.
Most schools are not running concessions during the games.

Go Eagles!

I wanted to let you know that our Summer Camp program for kids entering 1-6th grade is filling up, and if you don’t sign up soon there may not be room for your kids! The deadline to sign up for the IHM Summer Camp is April 30th. There is a lot more info on the sign up form, here: https://immaculateheartmonona.wufoo.com/forms/qgbff8u0yf06vu/

IHM Students are eligible to attend summer classes through the Monona Grove School district. Sign up before April 19th here: https://www.mononagrove.org/cms_files/resources/2021%20Summer%20School%20Registration%20Guide%20Final2.pdf. Please direct all questions to the MG School District!

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.

God Bless,
Callie Meiller, Principal

Our 1st grade is currently at capacity for 21-22, and a wait list has been started. Many other classes are near the 25 student limit. If you have students you have not yet applied for, or know other families who are considering IHM for next fall, please be aware.
IHM School is committed to maintaining a low student/teacher ratio. Therefore the following policy is in effect for withdrawal of students K-8:

Please let us know if you have any questions about this new policy.
