Hendricks Hotline

It is hard to believe that we are almost at the end of the first semester of the 2024-2025 school year! Staff has a lot of fun activities planned for next week! We are looking forward to ending the semester strong!

The weather is turning colder if your student needs help with a winter coat, hats or gloves please let us know! We are happy to help! We are watching the weather each day. We check the "REAL FEEL" temperature to determine if students have indoor or outdoor recess. We are looking for a a real feel temperature of 25 degrees or higher for students to go outside.

Students in grades 3-5 are completed their ILEARN Checkpoints B this week. We are reviewing data and looking for growth. These checkpoints will allow teachers to pinpoint skills that students have mastered and areas where student need additional practice! Everyone is working hard to master skills and show growth!

Don't forget that the PTO will have the SWAG store open on Monday and Wednesday during lunch! These items will make great Christmas gifts!

Thank you for your support of Hendricks this semester! We hope everyone had a safe and relaxing break! We hope that you enjoy time with your friends and family! We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday, January 6, 2025 for the start of second semester!

Happy Holidays!

Mrs. Tilley

Principal

We are providing Universal Free Breakfast for all Shelbyville Central students this year!

We encourage all families, regardless of income, to complete and submit a short, confidential school meal application prior to the start of the school year to ensure that there are no gaps in meal benefits for students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Parents or guardians can submit this application online at https://nutrilinktechnologies.com/products/free-and-reduced/ during Registration or in person at your child’s school office. It’s an easy and confidential way to ensure your child stays well-nourished at school.

This communication is to inform you of a new Indiana state law regarding school attendance that took effect in July 2024. This legislation impacts all students in grades K-6 and introduces stricter measures to address truancy.

The law aims to place more focus on attendance as a statewide priority by requiring state and local officials to hold regular meetings about the issue.

The new requirements for schools focus on students who are in kindergarten through sixth grade. If those students have five unexcused absences, schools must meet with the parents and create an attendance plan. The Attendance Plan developed may include wraparound services, disciplinary action the school may take if the student does not meet attendance requirements, and referrals for services such as counseling.

The law requires schools to report students who are truant — meaning they have missed 10 unexcused days of school — to the prosecutor and/or the Indiana Department of Child Services.

The school district is committed to complying with this new legislation and ensuring the regular attendance of all students. We strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with these new requirements and to address any attendance concerns promptly.

If you have any questions regarding this new law or require assistance, please contact the school administration.

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
