How To Contact Cardinal Ritter

Dear Parents,


Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Parent Club meeting on Tuesday, November 10. It was wonderful to come together, share ideas, celebrate our school community, and, most importantly, have meaningful conversations about the importance of parent involvement at Cardinal Ritter High School.


One of the highlights of our meeting was the drawing for tuition credits for parents who had completed five or more volunteer service opportunities. Congratulations to our 3 $500 tuition credit winners We are grateful for the many parents who have already given their time and talents to support our students and school. Your willingness to step forward and help does not go unnoticed.


Our conversations throughout the evening centered on a message that I believe is essential to the continued success of Cardinal Ritter: Volunteering is not simply about filling a need; it is about being part of something bigger than ourselves.


A strong school community does not happen by accident. It is built through relationships, shared responsibility, and a willingness to invest in one another. Our teachers and staff work tirelessly to provide our students with an outstanding educational experience, but we cannot do it alone. We need our parents to be active partners in this mission.


Conversations also included the lack of volunteers that we have had for athletic events and the small number of parents that showed up for the Fall awards banquet. We need everyone's help so that it does not fall on the shoulders of only a few.


There will be a Winter parent meeting for parents of students participating in a Winter Sport on November 23 at 6PM in the library. Attendance at this meeting is mandatory. Parents will receive service hours for attendance as well.


Thank you for your continued support, your generosity, and your belief in Cardinal Ritter High School. Together, we can create an even stronger community and provide our students with the very best high school experience.


We are Cardinal Ritter, and our strength comes from all of us working together!


God bless,

Mrs. Hoy

Estimados padres de familia:


Gracias a todos los que nos acompañaron en la reunión del Club de

Padres el martes 10 de noviembre. Fue maravilloso reunirnos, compartir

ideas, celebrar a nuestra comunidad escolar y, lo más importante,

mantener conversaciones significativas sobre la importancia de la

participación de los padres en Cardinal Ritter High School.


Uno de los momentos destacados de la reunión fue el sorteo de créditos

para la matrícula, dirigido a los padres que completaron cinco o más

oportunidades de voluntariado. ¡Felicitaciones a los tres ganadores de un

crédito de $500 para la matrícula! Estamos muy agradecidos con los

numerosos padres que ya han dedicado su tiempo y sus talentos a apoyar

a nuestros estudiantes y a nuestra escuela. Su disposición para dar un

paso al frente y ayudar no pasa desapercibida.


Durante la velada, nuestras conversaciones giraron en torno a un mensaje

que considero fundamental para el éxito continuo de Cardinal Ritter: el

voluntariado no consiste simplemente en cubrir una necesidad, sino en

formar parte de algo más grande que nosotros mismos.


Una comunidad escolar sólida no surge por casualidad; se construye a

través de las relaciones, la responsabilidad compartida y la disposición a

invertir unos en otros. Nuestros docentes y el personal trabajan

incansablemente para brindar a nuestros estudiantes una experiencia

educativa excepcional, pero no podemos hacerlo solos. Necesitamos que

los padres sean colaboradores activos en esta misión.


También hablamos sobre la falta de voluntarios en los eventos deportivos y

la baja asistencia de padres al banquete de premiación de otoño.

Necesitamos la ayuda de todos para que la carga no recaiga únicamente

sobre unos pocos.


El 23 de noviembre, a las 6:00 p. m., se llevará a cabo una reunión en la

biblioteca para los padres de los estudiantes que participan en deportes de

invierno. La asistencia a esta reunión es obligatoria. Además, los padres

recibirán horas de servicio por su asistencia.


Gracias por su apoyo constante, su generosidad y su confianza en

Cardinal Ritter High School. Juntos, podemos crear una comunidad aún

más fuerte y ofrecer a nuestros estudiantes la mejor experiencia de

bachillerato posible.



¡Somos Cardinal Ritter, y nuestra fortaleza proviene del trabajo conjunto de

todos nosotros!


Dios los bendiga

Sra. Hoy

Introducing Cardinal Ritter's New School-Based Health Center!


We are excited to welcome Stephanie Lewman, Nurse Practitioner, to Cardinal Ritter! Stephanie brings 7 years of school-based health clinic experience and will be available in our new Nurses Direct Connect School-Based Health Center daily throughout the school year.


So, what exactly is a school-based health center? Think of it as having a doctor's office right inside the school! Our clinic provides all the traditional services of a school nurse, but with the added ability to diagnose and treat common illnesses, evaluate minor injuries, prescribe medications, and send prescriptions directly to your preferred pharmacy.


Too sick to come to school? We can help from home! Families can schedule virtual visits with Stephanie. If your child has a fever or is vomiting, please keep them home! We can evaluate your child virtually, provide appropriate treatment, and provide a school excuse when appropriate. Schedule an appointment online


How do students access care? Stephanie may reach out to parents if she identifies a student who could benefit from a medical visit at school. Parents can also request appointments directly online. There is no need to pre register your student.

How is the program funded? Our school-based health center is partially funded through private insurance and Medicaid. With parent/guardian consent, we bill insurance for visits requiring additional medical treatment or testing. Medicaid reimbursement is especially important in helping sustain school-based health services and keep this resource available to our students. Get help registering for Medicaid


Does your family need help accessing healthcare? We have partnered with Indiana Health Family Alliance to help connect families with healthcare and needed resources. If you have questions or would like to check your current Medicaid status, please email Stephanie at SLewman@cardinalritter.org.

We are excited to bring convenient, accessible healthcare directly to the Cardinal Ritter community!


¡Presentamos el nuevo centro de salud escolar de Cardinal Ritter!


¡Nos complace dar la bienvenida a Stephanie Lewman, enfermera de práctica avanzada (Nurse Practitioner), a Cardinal Ritter! Stephanie cuenta con 7 años de experiencia en clínicas de salud escolares y estará disponible todos los días durante el año escolar en nuestro nuevo centro de salud.


¿Qué es exactamente un centro de salud escolar? ¡Imagínelo como tener un consultorio médico dentro de la propia escuela! Nuestra clínica ofrece todos los servicios tradicionales de una enfermería escolar, pero con la capacidad adicional de diagnosticar y tratar enfermedades comunes, evaluar lesiones leves, recetar medicamentos y enviar las recetas directamente a la farmacia de su preferencia.


¿Su hijo está demasiado enfermo para asistir a la escuela? ¡Podemos ayudar desde casa! Las familias pueden programar consultas virtuales con Stephanie. Si su hijo tiene fiebre o presenta vómitos, ¡por favor, manténgalo en casa! Podemos evaluar a su hijo de forma virtual, ofrecer el tratamiento adecuado y proporcionar un justificante médico para la escuela cuando sea necesario. Programe una cita en línea.


¿Cómo pueden los estudiantes acceder a la atención médica? Stephanie puede ponerse en contacto con los padres si identifica a un estudiante que podría beneficiarse de una consulta médica en la escuela. Los padres también pueden solicitar citas directamente en línea. No es necesario realizar un registro previo del estudiante.


¿Cómo se financia el programa? Nuestro centro de salud escolar recibe financiación parcial a través de seguros médicos privados y Medicaid. Con el consentimiento de los padres o tutores, facturamos al seguro las consultas que requieran tratamiento médico adicional o pruebas diagnósticas. El reembolso de Medicaid es fundamental para mantener los servicios de salud escolares y garantizar que este recurso siga estando disponible para nuestros estudiantes. Obtenga ayuda para inscribirse en Medicaid.


¿Necesita su familia ayuda para acceder a servicios de salud? Nos hemos asociado con Indiana Health Family Alliance para ayudar a conectar a las familias con servicios de salud y los recursos que necesiten. Si tiene preguntas o desea consultar su situación actual con respecto a Medicaid, por favor, envíe un correo electrónico a Stephanie a SLewman@cardinalritter.org.


¡Nos entusiasma poder ofrecer atención médica accesible y cómoda directamente a la comunidad de Cardinal Ritter!
