Dear Parent/Guardian,
I hope this letter finds you well! It's hard to believe we're already at the end of the 1st grading period. The beginning of the year has flown by! We've had another fantastic start to the school year here at SC, and we appreciate your partnership and support.
The purpose of this letter is to provide information on our virtual learning and eLearning days this school year. We have two virtual learning days built into the school calendar again for teacher professional development days. Those are November 3rd and March 4th. On those two days, teachers and students will be on live Google Meets in the AM from 9:00-12:00, while the afternoon will be for teacher meetings and training. The building principals will send out schedules and information very soon, specific to those two days.
For inclement weather, we'll potentially utilize eLearning days, virtual learning days, and snow make-up days. We are only allowed to use up to three (3) eLearning days in a school year, per Indiana Code. eLearning days would be our "old-fashioned" days where lessons are posted on Canvas (grades 5-12) or Google Classroom (grades K-4) by 9:00am, and students can complete their work at any time throughout the day. Assignments are due by 11:59pm, unless otherwise directed by the teacher. For virtual learning, students are required to be on live Google Meets for at least 50% of the school day in order for it to count as a day. So, those days we will use our 2-hour delay schedule like we have in the past, and live Google Meets will begin at 10:00am. The JH / HS will operate on the 2-hour delay bell schedule. The elementary school will provide a live instruction schedule for each grade level that will also begin at 10:00am.
If we happen to use up our 3 eLearning days, we'll then plan to use 3 virtual days with live instruction. While I certainly hope we don't have that many inclement weather days, if we get past those 3 eLearning days AND 3 virtual learning days, we'll utilize the built-in snow make-up days. Snow make-up days are built into our calendar on January 19th, February 13th, and May 1st.
We understand that this is somewhat confusing, which is why I wanted to provide this letter as a reminder and to clarify the differences. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the school office if you have any questions or for further clarification!
Thank you for your continued support!
Dr. Benjamin Anderson, Superintendent

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Beginning Monday, July 28th at 9:00am, South Central will open online registration via Harmony Family Access. We would like to remind you to check your demographics, update phone numbers, update emergency contacts and their phone numbers, update your email addresses, and your home/mailing address. There are also some registration forms that will need to be electronically signed. Some forms will need to be signed annually when you register online. The forms are listed in the online registration section in Harmony Family Access. It is important that you update your Family Access account with your most current information for bus routing purposes and so the school can contact you with important updates throughout the school year.
If you have already registered your pre-k and/or kindergarten student, you will not have to come into the school for new student registration BUT you will need to log into your Harmony Family Access account to update demographics and fill out the consent forms. You will receive an email with your student's registration code on Friday, July 25th.
All new students are required by the state to provide proof of residency. Any returning students who have moved to a new address from the one listed in Harmony are also required to provide proof of residency. Your proof of residency should be one of the following documents: Current (within the last 60 days) utility bill, bank statement, or rental/lease agreement. A driver's license and mailed advertisements do NOT meet the residency verification requirements set forth by the Indiana Department of Education.
Beginning Wednesday, July 23rd, the junior high and high school will be scheduling appointments for NEW STUDENT registration which is on Wednesday, July 30th (8:30am-2:30pm), and Thursday, July 31st (11:00am-5:30pm). Please call the school to schedule an appointment. New students in the elementary school do NOT need to schedule an appointment time, but should come into the elementary office during the registration times listed. On those days, we also welcome families that cannot register from home to come to the school to register students. Please call to schedule an appointment. Also, please bring your username and passwords with you.
If you have forgotten your password to Family Access, you will need to click the "forgot my password" link and Harmony will send an email. We are unable to retrieve usernames and passwords at the school.
We are looking forward to a great school year ahead!
Thank you,
Interested in seeing the new Student Activity Center or any of the other additions and renovations to the school building from our recent construction project?

This past week, the Indiana Department of Education released Spring 2025 ILEARN and SAT assessment data (2024-2025 school year). South Central Schools once again performed very well and led LaPorte County in several areas. We are very PROUD of our students and staff!
Here are some of the highlights:
Congratulations to the South Central varsity softball team on winning the 2025 IHSAA Sectional 51 tournament! The team defeated Argos 4-1 at home to claim their 18th overall sectional title. Earlier in the tournament, they defeated Culver 3-2 and North Judson 9-0. South Central will now host the regional game on June 3rd against Fremont.
