From the Office
Dear Parents,
We hope you had a blessed Easter with lots of time together with your family!
A short letter this week, with a few important points:
- Many families are getting lax about this as the school year starts to wrap up, and it does make our mornings very busy so we want to remind you that if your child is home sick, or will not be in school for any reason (dr. appt, vacation, etc.), you must let us know before 8:30 AM (10:30 AM for PM 4K). You can call the attendance line at 608-222-8831 (press 1), email Mrs. Winter at secretary@ihm-school, or email your child’s teacher. If you have not informed us that it will be multiple days, then you still need to call/email daily. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT FOR US TO CONTACT YOU! We know mornings are hectic and it is one more contact to make, but we can have many more!
- I will be in Washington D.C. with our 8th graders who are attending all next week, so will not be in the office. I will be available on a limited basis by email! I can’t wait to tell you all about the trip, and to get our middle school excited for future trips!
- The deadline to sign up for the IHM Summer Camp is next week, Friday April 29th. Get in before it fills up! There is a lot more info on the sign up form, here: https://immaculateheartmonona.wufoo.com/forms/q1x57ph00ottcg0/
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

Thank You
Thank you so much to all of the parents and students that supported our Book Fair! You purchased $3,720.60 worth of books (a new record for a Spring fair!), which means we have $1,362.84 to spend for the IHM Library and classrooms, all thanks to you!! Mrs. Winter has already used some of that to buy books for IHM classrooms, and to replace some outdated non-fiction books in the library!
