Monday Memo
One Body in Christ - August 15, 2022
Thank you for all of your efforts that have made the beginning of this school year go smoothly. We appreciate your cooperation with morning and afternoon car rider procedures, returning your paperwork on time, and attending our back to school nights.
A few reminders about afternoon car rider:
- All parents should use the west drive by Father's house to join the dismissal line. Please do NOT use the horseshoe drive between 3:15 PM and 3:30 PM.
- When dismissing, traffic in front of the school should ONLY turn right onto US 40. Please do NOT turn left and create a back up.
- Please make every effort to be in regular car rider. Our second line is sometimes 15 cars or more.
On Friday, I sent an email to all parents regarding this year's COVID-19 procedures. I will also place pdf copies of that information at the end of this newsletter for future reference. I wish I could say that this virus is in the past, but as we have seen in just the first week of school, it is very much with us. Please continue to watch your children for symptoms of COVID, such as a cough, runny nose, fever, etc. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Brown in the reception office.
God bless,
Janet Abdoulaye, Principal

Around Our School
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.
Volunteer Opportunities
The service hour tracking form can be found here and a copy will be sent home in the back-to-school packets. We ask that each family complete five service hours this school year. These hours can be completed during school or parish events.
School Counselor
Students may be referred to Ms. Evans by teachers or the principal for a one-time visit. After that, parents must complete an consent form for continued visits. The consent form is available in the school office. You can reach Ms. Evans directly at kevans@saintsusanna.com
Easy Fund-Raising for Saint Susanna Catholic School!
Box Tops for Education
Here’s how it works:
- Step 1: Download the new Box Tops App (iTunes or Google Play) – it’s free
- Step 2: Create a username and connect it to your child’s school
- Step 3: Scan your grocery store receipt. Items with the new Box Tops label will be automatically credited to your school
Does this mean I should stop sending in my paper Box Tops that I have already clipped? No! Continue to send those to the school!
