VERY IMPORTANT-Weather Updates

Parents, it is that time of year for winter weather!! Just a reminder that updates can be found on our school and district website, as well as the local news stations. Please remember that we will use all of our snow days before we use any eLearning days. Those days are:

We will have our activity picture day for the yearbook on February 7th.

Transportation

We are asking that any requests for a transportation change be submitted to the office no later than 1:30 pm daily. A reminder that requests must be consistent throughout the week, meaning that the pick up and/or drop off address remains the same all week. Also please know that once a student has been put on the bus in the afternoon, we are not able to remove them to go to the car rider line. This process delays our buses from departing school on time to run their elementary route and arrive on time for their secondary route. If your child needs to be a car rider for that day, please call the office and inform the office before 1:30 and make sure that your child has a car rider tag. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

MUY IMPORTANTE

Actualizaciones del clima Padres, ¡¡es esa época del año para el clima invernal!! Solo un recordatorio de que se pueden encontrar actualizaciones en el sitio web de nuestra escuela y distrito, así como en las estaciones de noticias locales. Recuerde que usaremos todos nuestros días de nieve antes de usar cualquier día de eLearning. Esos días son:

-19 de febrero-Día del Presidente-DÍA DE MAQUILLAJE DE NIEVE-LA ESCUELA ESTÁ EN SESIÓN

Anuarios a la venta

¡Nuestros anuarios 2023-24 están oficialmente a la venta! El precio inicial es de $20. ¡¡El anuario es una excelente manera de tener recuerdos de un año en un solo lugar!! Puede comprar el anuario haciendo clic en el enlace y agregando el código. https: Código: 82146F

Tendremos nuestro día de fotografías de actividades para el anuario el 7 de febrero.

Transporte

Solicitamos que cualquier solicitud de cambio de transporte se envíe a la oficina a más tardar a la 1:30 p. m. todos los días. Un recordatorio de que las solicitudes deben ser consistentes durante toda la semana, lo que significa que la dirección de recogida y/o entrega sigue siendo la misma toda la semana.

También tenga en cuenta que una vez que un estudiante sube al autobús por la tarde, no podemos sacarlo para ir a la fila de pasajeros en automóvil. Este proceso retrasa que nuestros autobuses salgan de la escuela a tiempo para recorrer su ruta primaria y llegar a tiempo a su ruta secundaria. Si su hijo necesita viajar en automóvil ese día, llame a la oficina e infórmele antes de la 1:30 y asegúrese de que su hijo tenga una etiqueta de viajero en automóvil. Gracias de antemano por su comprensión.

NOTE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT, DR. VANCE

open_in_new zoom_out_map

Dear SCS families,

When inclement weather arrives, Shelbyville Central Schools remains committed to our children's safety. The decision to delay or close school or schedule an eLearning day is made after careful consideration of numerous factors. We recognize changes to the school schedule impact families, and we will communicate through multiple channels to provide timely information.

Variables affecting school delay and closure decisions can include:

Snow, freezing rain or ice that potentially create hazardous road and sidewalk conditions. The decision to delay or cancel in these circumstances will often be made in the morning so local conditions can be considered.
Extremely cold temperatures and wind chill factors. If the air temperature or wind chill is predicted to be -10 degrees or below, the district will consider a delay or closure. This determination will be made as early as possible, depending on the forecast.

Other events, such as flooding, severe thunderstorms or building utility issues, may also cause delays, early release or cancellation.

These events can also affect extracurricular activities and athletics. In the event of a school cancellation, decisions regarding practice and activities will be made by 2 p.m.

Communication regarding inclement weather will be made via email and a phone call to the parent/guardian contact information listed in PowerSchool. Announcements will also be posted on each SCS school's website and Facebook pages and area TV and radio stations, including Shelbyville's WSVX.

SCS respects a parent's decision to keep their child at home. Please contact the school to report an absence. The student will be counted as absent, per state code, and will be given the opportunity to complete academic work in the same manner as an excused absence.

We take our role in communicating weather-related changes seriously. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's school office with questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Dr. Matt Vance Superintendent
