Various services will be available for students including physicals, preventative heart screenings, dental care, and immunizations. There is no cost for the physicals, however, donations to the athletic department will be accepted. See the flyers below for more information.

The records will be released only to the former student, now of legal age, upon presentation of a photo ID; or parent/guardian with legal documentation of guardianship. You must make the request for records by June 15, 2025, which provides the required notice to the cooperative office.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well! The school year continues to fly by. It's hard to believe it's already mid-February. I wanted to thank you for your patience with our recent weather delays and cancellations to eLearning. With a winter storm forecasted later this week, we are sending this letter as a reminder regarding our procedures for further inclement weather days.
You may recall that Indiana Code only allows us to utilize up to three (3) "old-fashioned" eLearning days per school year. We have now utilized all 3 of those. Per our current procedures, after using our 3 eLearning days, we would next move to utilizing 3 virtual learning days with live instruction. 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. On those days, we will utilize our 2-hour delay schedule and live Google Meets would begin at 10:00am. The JH/HS will operate on their 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 would happen to utilize 3 virtual learning days, we would then move to the make-up days built into the calendar. The make-up days left on the calendar as of the writing of this letter are February 14th and May 2nd.
Also, as a reminder, we have one virtual learning day left that is built into the calendar for teacher professional development. That is March 5th. On that day, teachers and students will be on live Google Meet in the AM from 9:00am-12:00pm, while the afternoon will be for teacher meetings and training. The building principals will send out schedules and reminder information specific to that day soon.
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 of South Central Schools.
Kind regards,
Ben Anderson, Superintendent
