Eagle Express 4/15/2020

From the Office

Dear Parents,

There have been some changes from the rough draft accidentally sent yesterday – please keep reading!

Happy Easter! We hope the Easter season brings you renewed hope for the rest of the year! The IHM office is going to start up the Eagle Express again – look for it on Wednesday afternoons!
Dr. Maynord and I have continued to work on the issues with Moodle videos, and think we have solved it. If they are not working for you, please let your teacher know so we can help!

Would you and your family like to help me record the morning announcements? Let me know! I’ll assign you a day, and give you more instructions! Email me at cmeiller@ihm-school.org. You can also help the Diocese of Madison with a TV commercial they are working on! Please see the letter linked below from Superintendent Michael Lancaster for details.

Fr. Chad is continuing to celebrate our usual Thursday morning all-school mass, streaming on the Parish Facebook page at 10:00 AM. You do not need a facebook account to view these, just simply click this link https://www.facebook.com/ihmcatholicschool.org, and there you will find our videos. Don’t worry, if you are unable to join in  “live” they will remain on that facebook page afterwards.

Sign Up reminders: We completely understand that the your future plans are up in the air right now, but if there is a chance that you will need our Summer ECE or Summer Camp once Safe at Home has been lifted, please sign up at the links below. We know that things will change, so there is NO obligation for these sign-ups. They are only to help us plan!

Future ECE, 4K, or Kindergarten students: if you are planning on attending through the summer, sign up here ECE Summer Sign Up

Future 1st-6th Grade Students: Enrollment for the IHM Summer Camp Program is here: IHM Summer Camp. If you need more information, there is a lot on the enrollment link.

If you have a child that will be NEW TO IHM next Fall (perhaps a sibling of a current student, entering ECE, 4K, or Kindergarten) you MUST fill out the IHM application. You do need to create an Application Account, we will connect your new student with your current students on our end. Please do that here ASAP: IHM New Student Application

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.

Peace,

Callie Meiller, Principal

 

Office Reminders

  • The IHM Tax ID Number is 39-0828125.
  • From Kathy Marshall, Parish Administrator: “We received news that the City of Monona will not be holding their Memorial Day parade, and are considering postponing it until later in the year. Because of this and so many uncertainties surrounding the Coronavirus, we have decided it would be best to cancel our Backyard Bash, the IHM Parish Festival.”

Thank You

Many thanks to all of our famiiles! We know that distance learning is a big adjustment for all of us! We appreciate your support, and understand your struggles. We miss you all!

Virtual Tornado Drill
Due to covid-19, the National Weather Service in Milwaukee has replaced the statewide tornado drill with a virtual drill on April 16 at 1:45 p.m. Families are asked to take 15 minutes to practice their own tornado and severe weather safety plans.
Talk as a family and create your plan to take shelter during severe weather. Tips for creating your plan can be found at Make a Plan.
