Mrs. Kilgore-Kindergarten
Miss Caston-1st Grade
Miss Schooler-2nd Grade
Mrs. Stark-3rd Grade
Mrs. Kruger-4th Grade

Transportation: Bus information will be available for viewing by visiting scs.shelbycs.org/page/transportation and scrolling down to the INFOFINDER link. Please remember that if you need to change your transportation, you need to complete a Chang of Transportation form at school. It will take 48 hours for the change to occur. Please call the office with any question.
Car Rider Line: Thank you for being patient as we worked through the extra traffic the first three days of school. The traffic flow should decrease this week with more students riding the bus to and from school.

A Few Reminders and updates for the 24-25 School Year:
Indiana’s new law on cell phones in the classroom is in effect this school year. We will be sending home information on this new law with your child this week.
A new attendance law is also in effect beginning this school year that requires immediate attendance interventions and parent conferences after 5 days of absence in 10 week period. We will also send complete information home with students this week.
The student dress code will be enforced this year. Please remember that students have to wear shoes that have a back on them. NO slides, backless sandals or shoes are allowed. This is for the safety of the children while at school. Thanks for your cooperation with this rule.
Early Release Dismissal will be at 1:45 each Wednesday.
If you have a transportation change, that will need to be called in by 1:00PM. After this time we will not be able to accommodate that change due to our new dismissal system.
Reminder that the beginning of school bell rings at 7:25, which is when bus and car riders are dismissed. The tardy bell rings at 7:45. If your child is tardy for school, you will need to come into the school and sign them in. Students are NOT allowed to check themselves in if they are late to school, and are NOT allowed to be dropped off if tardy.
