We have had an eventful week back to school from Fall Break. From the World's Chocolate Bar Fundraiser Kick-off, the Title I World Culture Family Engagement Night, the start of our After-School Tutoring Program, to our Picnic and Play Reading Goal celebration--this week has been jam-packed with fun events celebrating our students. Thank you for your support!
Please read further in our newsletter to find information about some upcoming events at SA for the month of November.
Keep in mind that our school offices do not open until 7:00 a.m. each day. Students who are participating in clubs and other activities cannot be dropped off until that time. Thanks for your understanding.
Let's continue to make each week great!

If it becomes necessary for a student to take medication or receive treatment during the school day, the parent or guardian must file a request to administer with the school nurse’s office. If the medication or treatment is physician prescribed, the parent or guardian must provide a written prescription from the child’s physician or the current pharmacy label with the request. A physician’s order is also necessary for prescription samples that may have been provided to the student, or for any over-the-counter medication that is not recommended for children under age twelve. All other over-the-counter medication must be in the original container labeled with the student’s name and date of birth. Label instructions will be followed for all over-the-counter medicine unless otherwise prescribed by a physician. For any questions please call the clinic (317) 789-1441. Thank you!
Reporting Student Absences: Call the attendance line at 317-789-1402 before 9:00 a.m, to report your child's absence. When leaving a message, please leave your child's date of birth and your phone number to ensure we have the message for the appropriate student.
Tardies: When your child is tardy to school, they can be dropped off in front of the building. Please report to this to Student Services at 317-789-1462. Parents/guardians must present a valid ID when picking up your student.
Perry Township wants to make sure our families are connected to Food Resources in case a need arises so they'll know where to turn! Please take a moment to review these Food Assistance resources in case your family may have a need!
