Dear Parent/Guardians,

The 2023-2024 school year is right around the corner! Can you believe it? Summer flew by! I hope you were able to relax and recharge some with your family. We are gearing up for another fabulous year at SC! We can't wait to see students in just two short weeks.

I wanted to let you know that due to some legislative changes from the Indiana General Assembly this past session, families will not be charged for textbook rental, Chromebooks, or class fees as you have been in the past. I would've sent this information to you sooner, however, we've been working to understand the full extent of this new law. Most school corporations are in the same spot, working to understand the new law. We will be sure to communicate with you if additional information becomes available or on items your child/family will still be responsible for, such as band instruments or welding PPE. If your child is in band, they'll still need to rent or provide their own instrument. If your child is in welding, they'll still need to have their own personal protective equipment (PPE). Please note: students/families will still be responsible to pay for lost or damaged textbooks and Chromebooks.

We do still ask that students bring in their typical supplies (pencils, paper, crayons, folders, etc.). If you need assistance with school supplies, please let us know! Enjoy these last couple weeks of summer! Please don't hesitate to contact the school with any questions or concerns. 

Go Satellites!

Ben Anderson, Superintendent

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Beginning Monday, July 31st 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 some registration forms that will need to be electronically signed. Some forms will need to be signed annually when you register online (Parent Right to Know; Active Duty; Residency Information; Work Survey; CTE; Transportation Needs). The forms are listed in the online registration section in Harmony Family Access.

If you have already registered your pre-k and/or kindergartner, 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 28th.

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, telephone bill, tax return, bank statement, mortgage statement, rental/lease agreement, medical bill, and/or other official information that verifies your address. 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 26th, the school will be scheduling appointments for NEW STUDENT registration which is on Tuesday, August 1st, Wednesday, August 2nd, and Thursday, August 3rd. Please call the school to schedule an appointment. 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 usernames and passwords with you.

If you have forgotten your password, you will need to click the "forgot my password" link and Harmony will send an email to help you. Unfortunately, we are unable to retrieve usernames and passwords at the school.

We are looking forward to a great school year ahead!

Thank you,

South Central Schools

The Northwest Health Sports Medicine Program will be offering sports physicals at South Central on June 20th from 5:30pm to 8:00pm in the central gym (door entrance 13). There is no cost (donations accepted) for the physicals and they are available to students ages 5-18. There will also be preventative heart screenings by the Play for Jake and Zac Mago foundations. See the flyers below for more information.

South Central Drama Club will be presenting Rodgers & Hammerstein's historic musical Carousel. Set in 1873, Carousel follows Billy Bigelow, a swaggering, carefree carnival barker, who falls in love with and marries the sweet but naive Julie Jordan. Many of the men in this story are veterans of the Civil War and struggle with issues of anger, anxiety, and insecurity in themselves and their relationships. Billy is no exception and struggles to overcome his issues to be a better man for Julie. However, he is not necessarily successful and finds himself on a search for redemption. Showcasing renowned songs like "June is Bustin' Out All Over," "Soliloquy," "If I Loved You," and "You'll Never Walk Alone," Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical will have you laughing and crying and will leave you wanting to be a better person.

SCDC will be performing Carousel on April 28th at 7:00pm, April 29th at 7:00pm, and April 30th at 2:00pm. Seniors will be honored on Sunday after the show. According to Concord Theatrical's website, Carousel is for ages 10+, as it contains mature content and trigger warnings for intimate partner violence. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $5.00 or $7.00 at the door. Contact a drama club member or the school office to purchase in advance. Come join SCDC for their final performance of the year!

Starting April 10, 2023, the South Central Food Service Department will be using a new meal software program called Titan. Families wishing to add money electronically to student accounts will need to sign up for a Titan Family account at family.titank12.com. Harmony Family Access will no longer be an option to add funds to cafeteria accounts (all other features of Harmony Family Access will remain unchanged). Any previous student balances from the old meal software program (Harmony) have been transferred and families do not need to do anything further. Additionally, student 4-digit pins have not changed.

The 2023 prom, presented by the South Central Prom Committee, will take place on April 22nd at The Shed. This year's theme is "The Great Gatsby". The grand march will take place prior to the start of prom in the north gymnasium.

Tickets will be on sale March 20th-23rd during B lunch and after school until 3:20pm in room H19. Tickets are $35.00 and includes catered dinner, gifts, and photos. You must stop by Mrs. Barnes' room to get a form prior to purchasing tickets.

The prom committee is also looking for dessert donations (cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes, cakepops, etc.). If you'd like to donate a dessert, please contact Mrs. Barnes by March 31st.

We all know the legend of Robin Hood, the outlaw who steals from the rich to give to the poor, but you've never seen SCDC's original production of Howard Pyle's famous tale! With a comedic cast of characters, SCDC's Robin Hood follows Robin, Little John, Friar Tuck, and the rest of the Merry Men on their journey to vanquish the evil Prince John and his Sheriff and save Nottingham for the honorable King Richard. Led by two Narrators, SCDC's Robin Hood is funny, full of joy, and the perfect night out for the whole family. Come join us as we adventure through Nottingham Forest and see who wins in this epic battle of good vs. evil!

SCDC's Robin Hood is rated G and is perfect for all ages! Feel free to stick around afterward to take photos with the cast in their costumes.
