Monday Memo
We Are Family - May 23, 2022
We are looking at wrapping up the 2021-2022 school year with a bang! It has been a wonderful year of learning and growth. I am excited for what fall will bring!
Tomorrow is the happiest day of the year - FIELD DAY! I know that the students look forward to this day each year! A few reminders:
- Students should wear appropriate dress for activity - t-shirt, shorts, jacket or sweatshirt, gym shoes
- Students may bring extra clothing (optional)
- Students should bring a water bottle
- Students should apply sunscreen before school and can bring extra.
- Students may wear a hat and/or sunglasses
Awards will be held in the gym on Thursday due to a funeral in the church. If you plan to sign your child out after awards, please email the teacher and Ms. Brown ahead of time so that we can be prepared.
God bless,
Janet Abdoulaye, Principal

City Connects Program Through Marian University
Saint Susanna will be participating in a program called "City Connects" through Marian University for the next two years. This program, funded through Marian's Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools funds, will provide an additional social worker to Saint Susanna for two years. During the two year time period, the additional social worker will provide student and family support as needed and teach the Second Steps social emotional learning program in the grades that do not currently receive that instruction. This individual will be an employee of Marian University while working at our campus.
Marian asked that I share the job description with our community in case we know someone who would be a great applicant. They are looking for an individual with a Master's degree in school counseling, social work, or related field. The full job description is available at https://marian.peopleadmin.com/postings/1031 Please share with anyone who might be qualified and interested. They are hiring many individuals throughout central Indiana.

Safe Environment Training
In order to volunteer in our school building during the day or attend field trips as a chaperone, you must have a current safe environment training on file with us. This requirement includes safe environment training and a basic background check through the Archdiocese. The training and background checks are good for five years from the time of completion.
To check your current expiration date, contact Mrs. Carson at kcarson@saintsusanna.com
To obtain a new training and background check:
- Go to the website www.archindysafeparish.org
- Create an account as this is a new system. Previously the Archdiocese used a system called "Safe and Sacred."
- You will need a passcode in order to create an account. The passcode is Archindy2021
- Complete the background check for school or parish VOLUNTEER and select Saint Susanna as a recipient of your information.
- Complete the training video and questions.
Please allow up to two weeks for this process to be completed.
