Here are a few important events/activities for the coming week:

- Friday, August 7, 2026: Students will participate in emergency drills. Students will practice a fire drill, severe weather drill and armed intruder drill. Staff explains the processes and procedures for these drills before we begin. We emphasize to students that these are just drills and are available to answer any questions should they arise!

Reminders for the 2026-2027 School Year:
- If you have any changes to your student's transportation please contact the front office.
- 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 you child will not be at school, please remember to call in to let us know so the absence can be excused. Each student gets up to 10 excused absences each year with no doctor's note. Please contact the office if you have any questions about attendance. Our goal for each student is 94% present!
- Grades 3, 4 and 5 may have teachers other than their homeroom teacher for math and language arts. This will allow us to provide high ability instruction when appropriate. Parents will be receiving letters this week to explain their student's daily schedule.
- 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.
If your student will be riding the bus to the Boys & Girls Club or Girls Inc., he/she will need to have a membership.

Students riding the bus to the Boys & Girls Club or Girls Inc. must enter the building after exiting the bus. Students will not be permitted to get into a car before entering the club.
