South Henry School Corporation

Titan Families, As we enter into cold and flu season, this is a friendly reminder that after illness, students should be fever-free and have no signs of a fever (chills, feeling very warm, flushed appearance, or sweating) without the use of fever-reducing medicine for at least 24 hours before returning to school. This is in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to reduce illness. Students should also follow these same guidelines for vomiting and episodes of diarrhea. We appreciate your help as we work to keep our students happy and healthy this winter season. Go Titans!

The South Henry School Corporation continues to work hard to stay on the front edge of new and exciting initiatives across the state of Indiana. With this said, we learned today that we were one of only 30 corporations in the state awarded the Digital Learning Coach Mini-Grant through the Indiana Department of Education. This grant will allow our amazing elementary PLTW teacher, Amy Stevens, to seek ISTE certification.
