SAFE PARISH

If you will be volunteering in the school or going on a field trip, you must have a completed Safe Parish training on file and a completed background check through the program.  Please go to www.archindysafeparish.org and use our passcode Archindy2021.

Remember that all families are asked to volunteer three times throughout the school year.

Tuesday, September 27 - 5th Grade

Mass day uniform is navy knee socks, the jumper and white polo shirt for girls in K-2; the skirt, sweater vest and white polo shirt for girls in 3-6. Boys need to wear long tan pants, the sweater vest, and a white polo shirt. You can read about the dress code in the handbook.

SACRAMENTAL PREP

If you have a child in 2nd grade who will be preparing for Reconciliation and first Holy Communion this school year, our Sacramental Prep classes have begun!  Classes take place the first Wednesday of the month beginning with 6:00 pm Mass, unless otherwise noted. After Mass, parents and 2nd graders will meet separately to begin studying Reconciliation and the Eucharist.  If parents have children in other grades, they are invited to come for a class to watch videos and do activities to learn about the saints and other level-oriented aspects of our Catholic faith.  For more information or to register, please contact Melissa at [email protected] or 765-825-8578.  Our next class will be Wednesday, October 5th. 

Sacramental Prep is mandatory for 2nd grade children to receive their First Holy Communion in May. All children in 2nd grade, whether attending public school or St. Gabriel School, and a  parent, will need to attend these classes.

CROSS COUNTRY

Cross Country starts today! Practices are for grades 2-6 and will be held every Tuesday and Thursday until 4:00 p.m. at school.
