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.
Carlin Park Community-
Do you know how lucky we are in our district? Our students are engaged every day in learning new and exciting things that develop connections with curriculum. They are experiencing science through deep thinking, and all of our students are receiving amazing art lessons that are orchestrated by our district Art teacher, Erin Coatney. We have Junior Achievement lessons presented by community volunteers, and our very own EL team, Mrs. Carmona and Mrs. Gilbert give their time during PE to build relationships with our students. We are providing a well rounded education for ALL students in MSDSC! What a great place to learn and grow!

Hello Carlin Park! Our 4th and 5th graders have been working on a writing challenge during Quarter 2. The results are in!!! Mrs. Vonderau and Mrs. Priller read essays from every 4th and 5th grader at Carlin Park. The top 10 in each grade level have been chosen. The quality of writing is phenomenal. The year long writing challenge is in place to help our students prepare for the ILEARN assessment which will begin on April 14th, 2025. The 3rd quarter writing challenge will begin in the next two weeks and it will focus on narrative writing. Way to go Carlin Park students and staff.
Good morning to the Carlin Park Community-
It was a complete joy to see all of our beautiful children back at school yesterday, January 6th, 2025. Wow 2025! I just wanted to thank you for sending us the best students on the planet. We are working diligently everyday to meet our goals. Your children and our staff have been working so hard to continue to achieve excellence. One of our goals is based on attendance. We know it is flu season, but if your children aren't sick, please make sure they are at school and on time. The only area we didn't grow on the state dashboard last year was in attendance. We will change that this year. Thank you for your unwavering support! Together, we will reach the TOP!
Also- on Thursday (1/9/2025) and Friday (1/10/2025) we will be wearing our favorite college team wear to support the NCAA Football Playoffs. Please feel free to send your children in college gear on those days as our staff will be wearing, with pride, their favorite college attire.
