The MSD of Steuben County 2024-2025 school calendar was approved two years ago to help families plan for school events, including graduation. However, the Indiana High School Athletic Association moved all of its calendar events back one week for the 2024-2025 school year. Unfortunately, this has caused a conflict between the spring sporting events that our senior students will participate in and our graduation ceremony. We want to make sure that all of our senior students have the opportunity to participate in their extracurricular activities and their graduation ceremony. For this reason, we are rescheduling the class for the 2025 graduation ceremony from Thursday, May 29th 7:00 p.m. to Friday, May 30th, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hornet Football Stadium.
Did you miss our in-person IREAD meetings in November? No worries! We've got you covered. New laws are in effect that could impact your child. Catch up on the latest changes, helpful resources, AND info on our after-school readiness groups with this recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbeQPdDSocE
Has your 2nd-5th grader passed IREAD? If not, we strongly recommend signing them up for our readiness groups starting in February! Extra support can make all the difference.
