Dear Parents and Guardians,
Starting Monday, February 27th, we will be conducting boundary school visits for students. On
their scheduled day, students will be bussed to their 23-24 boundary school. Once they arrive,
they will be welcomed by the school staff and administrators who will show them around the
building. The building tours will take place from February 27-March 13 during the day. Students
will be accompanied by administrators on the buses. If you have any questions or do not wish
for your child to participate, please contact your current building principal by Friday, February
24th. Thank you for your participation as we help students make this transition.
Best,
Vickie Carpenter
Assistant Superintendent for Foundational Learning

Preschool Information
Dear Parents/Guardians of Incoming Kindergarteners,
After reviewing our transportation routes, we determined that it was necessary to update the
boundaries for our kindergarten academies for the 2023-2024 school year. Your child’s
kindergarten will no longer be based on the elementary schools. It will be determined by your
residence within these newly established boundaries.
To find your kindergarten, please use the map on our website. You can type in your exact
address to find which school your kindergartener will attend.
If you have already registered for kindergarten and your school changed, the principal will
contact you. You do not need to fill out a new enrollment form. Your child’s information will be
transferred to their new school.
If you have not registered for kindergarten yet, please do so using the updated map. The
enrollment forms can be found on our website.
We appreciate your understanding and patience during this transition. If you have any
questions, please contact the office of the Assistant Superintendent for Foundational Learning
at 317-789-3724.
Sincerely,
Perry Township Schools

Unit 3-- Empathy and Kindness
Your child is participating in the Second Step program at Mary Bryan Elementary. Information was sent out about the content in this program at the beginning of the year.
Click here for Parent Introduction Letter
Click here for Second Step Introduction Video
Our students complete one unit (5 lessons) each 9 weeks. Each unit has a different focus. This quarter, all of our students will be learning about Empathy and Kindness. Children learn how to recognize kindness and act kindly, have empathy for others and take others’ perspectives, and recognize kind acts and empathy as important elements of building and maintaining relationships.
The Parent information for each grade level is attached below. This will give you an overview of what your student is learning and ideas for how to build on these skills at home.

As we begin to host more home athletic events this year we want to remind families and
students about conduct at our events.
Students attending athletic events should only be sitting in the stands during the games. For
the safety of our students and guests, no one should be playing behind the bleachers or
along the stands. Additionally, no one should enter the event with outside footballs, soccer
balls, etc. They will be taken away.
We appreciate your cooperation and thank you for supporting our athletes!

tournaments for FREE this school year (2022-2023).
● Grades 9-12 will be admitted free with their student ID.
● Grades K-8 will be admitted free when accompanied by a paid adult.
● Middle school students can attend middle school athletic events for free with their ID.
However all other students must be accompanied by a paid adult.
