Hurricane Hotline
"It's a GREAT day to be a Hurricane!"
Toys/Fidgets: Please remember to keep toys and fidgets at home. If a student needs a fidget or sensory item, Hendricks has plenty available to share. Items are getting lost and broken and we want to make sure that students' items are safe at home. Thank you for your help!
Car Riders: Please remember that parents need to remain in their cars during arrival and dismissal. We want to ensure the line moves smoothly and we want to keep everyone safe. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter!
Sock Drive: Thank you to everyone that donated to our SOCK DRIVE! Your generosity is much appreciated! #hurricaneshelpingothers
School Hours: Student car rider drop off begin at 7:25 with the tardy bell ringing at 7:45. Every Wednesday is EARLY RELEASE. Students will be dismissed at 2:00.
Reporting Student Absences: If your child is absent from school, please call the main office, 317-398-7432 and report it on the attendance line. When reporting an absence, please be sure to include your child's name, grade, teacher, and the reason the student is absent. Our student attendance goal is 94%!
Transportation Changes: If you are making a permanent change in transportation, a "Transportation Change" form must be filled out. These can be found in the main office. It could take up to 48 hours for a change in transportation to take affect. If an after school transportation change is necessary due to doctors appointments or other after school emergency purposes, please try to call the main office before 1:30. This helps us get the message out to our teachers to avoid any transportation issues. All car riders must be picked up in the car rider line. Student may not be picked up in the office for regular daily pickup. Thank you for your cooperation!

- Remember that students may only bring water in water bottles to be used in the classroom. Other drinks can be brought for lunch. No soda, juice or milk please!
- If questions or concerns arise throughout the year, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Tilley, Mrs. Fosnight or your student's teacher. The home/school partnership is essential for the success of everyone! We thank you for your support and willingness to be our partner in your student's education!
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 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.
