middle school softball practice is in the MS gym today, not at the field. Thanks

This summer not only have we been changing our website, we have also been changing our student management and grading program! We are very excited about these new and improved systems! While changing the information over, YOU WILL NOT BE RECEIVING ANY TEXT OR AUTOMATED MESSAGES FROM THE SCHOOL UNTIL AFTER REGISTRATION. We will be updating all numbers and information at registration and then it will be uploaded to our messaging system. YOU WILL NEED TO CHECK OUR NEW DISTRICT HOMEPAGE AND FACEBOOK FOR ALL UPDATED UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO SEND OUT MESSAGES. Thank you for your understanding and support while we make these transitions!

Since the website updates our schoolreach name/number database is not working. Please watch our live feed on the webpage or Facebook page. Thanks

Late this afternoon, SC Schools received notification of PA 102-0522, which is the new Comprehensive Sex Education Standards legislation being discussed across Illinois. The district has no intention of changing the way sex ed. has been incorporated into the Health curriculum for as long as anyone can remember. SC 401 does not have a comprehensive Sex Ed program and has no intention of providing such. We will simply opt out of the new sex ed standards. Parents do not need to provide any kind of opt out form since we have done this for all students. Hope this helps put concerns at ease. Kerry Herdes Supt. Of Schools South Central CUSD 401
