Parent letters regarding results of the ILEARN Checkpoint #1 will be sent home at the end of next week. Teachers are using this data to help support student needs. If you have any questions regarding your student's results, please contact your student's teacher.

All kindergarten students are in the process of completing our dyslexia screeners. The results of those screeners will be sent home to all parents. Any questions can be directed to your child's teacher.

Just a reminder that if your student has to be out, you must call the school to report the absence. This is a requirement for any excused absence.

Have a great weekend!

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.
