1st Communion pictures have arrived!! You can pick up in the school office during summer office hours. We are here from 8am-12pm Monday-Thursday and closed on Friday.
Dear SMGS families, we will be mailing letters notifying you of your tuition amount for the 25/26 school year soon. Please note that we have not received awards for the ACE scholarships yet but should received those by the middle of June. If ACE scholarships are awarded to families, tuition will be adjusted based on full tuition amounts. TADS is now closed for currently enrolled families. If you have questions about your tuition, please contact Laura in the school office. Thanks!!
Dear Families,
Summer is here—and with it comes a fantastic opportunity for your child to keep their academic skills strong and sharp!
We’re excited to let you know that 1st-6th grade students in our Catholic schools can continue using IXL over the summer months. This online platform is a powerful tool for practice, review, and enrichment, and we encourage your child to spend a little time each week exploring and learning at their own pace.
To log in, simply visit: https://www.ixl.com/signin/diocesesalina
Students should use the same username and password they used throughout the school year. No new login needed—just jump in and start solving!
Whether your child wants to stay fresh on the basics or stretch their skills into new areas, IXL adapts to their level and gives immediate feedback to support growth and confidence.
Let’s make this summer a season of progress and preparation—without the pressure. A few minutes a day can make a big difference!
Salina Catholic Schools are hiring for CDL drivers!
Do you have a CDL license and a heart for helping students? SCS are looking for individuals with a CDL license to drive students to activities during the school year serving Love N’ Learn Early Childhood Center, St. Mary’s Grade School, and Sacred Heart Jr/Sr High School.
If you are interested in getting your CDL license, we can help! Please contact Bryce Woodall at bryce.woodall@salinacatholic.org or at 785-827-4422 if you are interested or to get started.

Letters will be mailed out to families by the end of the week who still have a balance with tuition, lunch and/or extended care. Balances must be paid by the end of June to receive assistance and also to enroll for the 25-26 school year. Please call the school office if you have questions.

Salina Catholic Schools Families,
As we wrap up another incredible school year, we invite you to read a special end-of-year reflection from our Superintendent of Schools, Geoff Andrews. His article, Disciples on Mission: A Year of Growth, Grace, and Gratitude, highlights the amazing things happening across our Catholic schools in the Diocese of Salina—from student service projects and faith formation to new facilities and academic excellence.
You’ll also learn about how our students are answering Bishop Vincke’s call to pray A Million Memorares, and how supporters are making Catholic education more accessible through scholarships.
Read here: https://salinadiocese.org/news-and-updates/disciples-on-mission-a-year-of-growth-grace-and-gratitude/
Take a moment to read and be inspired by all that God is doing in our schools. And don’t forget to follow the Salina Diocese Catholic Schools Facebook page to stay connected throughout the summer!
All medications will be tossed if not picked up by Friday, May 16th. We are not able to keep these in the office for the next school year. The office will be open tomorrow 8am-2pm. Thanks!!
