SES Stakeholders, We have received tentative approval from the Indiana Department of Education to reduce by 2 the total number of instructional days for next school year. We made this request to allow for time to provide some highly desired training for our teachers and support staff. With this approval, our new start date for students will be Thursday, August 10th. Please also note, April 8th is now an elearning day, based on recommendations from County officials who are concerned about school safety and transportation on the date of the Solar Eclipse that will cross Shelby County that afternoon. Thanks for your continued support.

Shelby Eastern Schools is excited to welcome and introduce the next Principal of Morristown Jr. Sr. High School. Mr. Andrew Shores is twenty-year veteran educator who has worked the last nineteen years at Eastern Hancock High School. Andrew completed his administrative internship at Eastern Hancock and is excited to begin this chapter of his educational career. He will officially assume the role of Principal at MHS on July 1st. Please make him feel welcome and supported as he begins serving the community as Principal.

Waldron Parents: Due to a technical error with PowerSchool, the data we collected at the Little Mohawks Preschool event was overwritten. This means we need all parents who plan to send their child to preschool for the first time this fall, including those who pre-enrolled earlier this spring, to complete the online registration form. Here is the direct link to the form: https://shelbyeastern.powerschool.com/public/formbuilder/form.html?formid=1419411 If you need assistance, we will have on site registration on Friday, July 14th. Our apologies for the inconvenience. This only impacts new students to the Little Mohawk Preschool. Other grades and schools were not impacted. Thanks for your continued support!

SES Students, Parents, and Staff, Please follow the link below for an updated statement about the events of this morning. https://5il.co/1silw

SES Families, Early this morning we were notified by the Shelby County Sheriff's department of a bomb threat their office received targeting several Indiana schools. In their opinion and ours the threat is credible enough that we believe the safest path forward is to call for an elearning day today, so that we can have time to assess the situation. Teachers will communicate with students and their have lessons posted by 10:00 a.m. Only essential staff should report to school and you will be notified directly if you need to report. We will provide a more detailed update later. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we investigate the situation.

SPRAYING NOTICE: The Morristown campus grounds will be closed on the following days due to spraying the grounds for weeds and fertilization: Friday, April 7, 2023 and Saturday, April 8, 2023.

SES Parents - We have been advised by the weather service of an incoming line of storms around 4:00 p.m. we are expediting our dismissal this afternoon by 5 minutes. If your student rides the bus, you can expect them home five minutes earlier. Have a safe and hopefully dry weekend.

Waldron Parents - We have some roads in your area that are covered in water. If your road typically floods, and your child rides one of our buses, please consider making alternate transportation plans for this afternoon. Any student that we can't get home will be returned to school for parent pickup.

SES will resume our regular schedule today, Thursday, January 26th. See you soon!
