Families wishing to add money electronically to student accounts will need to sign up for a Titan Family account at family.titank12.com. Harmony Family Access will no longer be an option to add funds to cafeteria accounts (all other features of Harmony Family Access will remain unchanged). Any previous student balances from the old meal software program (Harmony) have been transferred and families do not need to do anything further. Additionally, student 4-digit pins have not changed.
For any questions, please view the Titan Family Portal FAQs or contact food service director Karen Hagenow.

The South Central Drama Club will be throwing the first pitch of their 2022-2023 season with a little game of baseball in their production of Damn Yankees! In 1950s Washington, D.C., middle-aged baseball fan Joe Boyd watches his favorite team- the Washington Senators- continue to lose to the supposedly unbeatable New York Yankees. His wife, Meg, laments his devotion to the team and wishes he would pay more attention to her during the "Six Months Out of Every Year" where he only cares about the Senators. After a visit from a mysterious stranger named Mr. Applegate, Joe is forced to question how far he would go to see the Senators succeed in beating the Yankees for the pennant. Through beloved musical numbers like "Heart," "Whatever Lola Wants," and "Goodbye, Old Girl," a myriad of bright characters, including reporter Gloria Thorpe, henchwoman Lola, Senators coach Benny Van Buren, and a slew of determined baseball players, tell this exciting tale of baseball, love, and the choices we make to succeed.
Do you enjoy watching the national pastime game of baseball? Do you feel like laughing until your sides hurt? Are you dying to find out if the Washington Senators can finally beat those damn Yankees to win the American League pennant? This show has something for everyone! The Damn Yankees book by George Abbott & Douglas Wallop is based on Douglas Wallop's novel The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant. Damn Yankees is family-friendly.
SCDC will be performing Damn Yankees on November 4th at 7:00pm, November 5th at 7:00pm, and November 6th at 2:00pm. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $5.00 or $7.00 at the door. Contact a drama club member to purchase in advance.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
As you may know, a new law created in 2021, Indiana House Bill 1093, limits the number of eLearning days a public school can use to three per year. South Central has utilized eLearning days for several years now for teacher professional development days (days scheduled in November and February) and inclement weather days. eLearning days are asynchronous (no live Google Meets) where lessons and assignments are posted by 10:00am and teachers are available to meet, as needed. With this new law, if a school is able to provide 50 percent synchronous (live Google Meets with the teacher) instruction, then the school day will count toward the 180 required days. We will refer to this as "Virtual Learning" instead of eLearning.November 1st is our first and only scheduled Virtual Learning day for the 2022-23 school year. There are NO scheduled eLearning days at this time. We will use November 1st to practice this new model of virtual instruction. We will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule, and the school day will begin virtually at 10:00am. Attached, you will find an informational graphic that helps to better explain these new "Virtual Learning" days. Additional information is also available on our online learning page.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and assistance with this change. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions!
We understand that these changes are not always ideal, however, given this new Indiana law, we are required to make this change. As stated earlier, we are allowed up to three eLearning days per school year. We will utilize eLearning, when needed and appropriate (i.e. if there is a power outage, we have already utilized multiple Virtual Learning days in a row, other unexpected circumstances). This will be clearly communicated to you in a School Messenger announcement.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and assistance with this change. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions!
