The Central Catholic Saints

Happy Mother's Day to all of our CCS Moms!

This upcoming week we will be finishing our last testing of the school year. Students in Kindergarten through 8th grade will be taking the last IReady Diagnostic for the year. IReady has shown a lot of growth for our students from Fall to Winter! We cannot wait to see the growth for spring.

Please ensure your student has a pair of headphones for testing!

Thank you to all our families that have brought in their tax documents for your Choice Applications! Mrs. Wiley has been processing the documents. If you have not brought in your tax information for your scholarship, please do so now so we can process your application. If you do not bring in your tax information for your child's choice scholarship application, your tuition for the upcoming school year will be $7950 per student.

If you have filed your taxes please bring a copy into the school office so we may begin processing your scholarship for next school year. We would like to get most of your paperwork processed before the end of the school year.

If you have questions please see Mrs. Caldera.

Parents your tuition accounts need to be paid in full by May 24th!

May 24th is the last day of school. If you have questions about your account, please call the office at 317-783-7759 and speak to Mrs. Caldera on myself. Thank you.

We have a just a few things to finish up for the prayer garden! The storms that came through on Tuesday night knocked over one of our poles. If you are free on Saturday morning at 9am, stop on by and bring a shovel!

Many hands make the load light!

Several classes have field trips scheduled in the month of May. Please make sure that your student has brought back their signed permission slip for the field trip, along with money that may be due for the field trip. If your student does not bring back their permission slip, they will not be able to attend the field trip.
