Please take note of the following changes for that day:
-Morning drop-off for high school students must take place at the back of the building via Shelby Street.
-Access to the high school office during the day will require parking on Harrison Street near the tennis courts and walking to the main entrance.
School buses will follow an adjusted schedule:
Elementary and middle school students will be dropped off first.
High school bus riders will be dropped off near the tennis courts and will enter the building through Entry #3 on the southeast corner.
At this time, we anticipate that the project will be completed without affecting dismissal. However, in the event of any delay, an updated dismissal plan will be communicated on Monday.

The health centers at SCS are seeing an increase in seasonal illnesses including Flu A, strep, and other illnesses. While attendance is vital in order to get the best classroom experience, there are instances where students/staff should stay home. Along with increased cleaning protocols at school, we need your help! Please monitor your child's symptoms and do not send them to school sick. Stay home until symptoms are better, fever free WITHOUT meds for 24 hours, and no vomiting or diarrhea in 24 hours. Remind students the importance of washing their hands with SOAP and WATER and not just using sanitizer. Cleaning jackets, hats, shoes, and/or anything brought to school are all best practice!
If you have any questions regarding sending your student to school please reach out to the school nurse, Mrs. Bowers at 812-883-3700 ext 4022.
