End-of-Day Dismissal Procedure Updates

End-of-Day Dismissal Procedure Updates

Thank you for a fantastic start to the new school year! End-of-day dismissal procedures are a challenge for all schools. We are no exception here at SC. We are going to make a couple of small changes in an effort to improve the efficiency of dismissal time. We appreciate your patience and cooperation!

  • South Drive as ENTRANCE ONLY. Beginning Friday, August 28th, the South Drive into the school (by the baseball field) will be an ENTRANCE ONLY from 2:40-3:05pm.
    • All 3 lanes will be entrance only.
    • The lane closest to the school remains the elementary only pick-up line.
    • The middle lane will remain the JH/HS pick-up lane. This is also the pick-up line if families have students in BOTH elementary and JH/HS.
    • The lane closest to the baseball field (that is normally the exit lane) will be an entrance into the parking lot area.
  • The far North Drive on the elementary end of the building (and by the playground) is always an EXIT ONLY.
    • A staff member will be present to assist in directing traffic, so that both pick-up line vehicles and student drivers can merge and exit safely.
    • All student drivers will need to exit using the north drive now.
  • Students with Bus Service
    • If you have bus service for your child, please consider utilizing that whenever possible. This will reduce the number of vehicles in the car line and speed up that process a bit.
    • If your child can ride the bus but has not been riding, please contact the school office or the bus driver to ensure details are worked out.
  • Turn Lane on County Road 600 W
    • South Central's administration has been working with county officials in an effort to add a 3rd lane to 600 W between the school driveway entrances.
    • More info to come on this…

2026-2027 Registration Information

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Beginning Monday, July 27th 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 update 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 Monday, July 27th. If you did NOT come into the school during pre-k and/or kindergarten round-up, you will still need to come in person to start the registration process.

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 Friday, July 24th, we will be scheduling appointments for all NEW STUDENTS. New student registration appointments will be Tuesday, July 28th (8:30-2:30), Wednesday, July 29th (12:30-6:30), and Thursday, July 30th (8:30-2:30). 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 username and password 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 (check your spam folder). 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
