(Union Mills, IN) – Another day, another delay for another La Porte County School.

 

On Sunday afternoon South Central Schools Superintendent Dr. Ben Anderson announced that the first day of classes will be pushed back to Tuesday, August 18.

 

While most of Hanna now has power, many Union Mills families do not. Also a few south county roads are still not accessible to school buses. For example, 900 S. between 600 W. and 700 W. remains blocked at this time, Anderson said.

 

“This has been a difficult balancing act as we try to be considerate of everyone's circumstances while also getting our students back to school,” said Anderson in a statement to the South Central Schools community. He also gave the following updates:

 

• Information regarding any make-up days will be shared at a later time.
• School picture day that was scheduled for the JH/HS on Tuesday will be postponed.
• The lunch menu will be as scheduled for this week, so what is on the calendar for each day is what will be served.
• Elementary families may drop off bagged and labeled (name/teacher) student supplies on Monday from 1:00pm-3:00pm.

 

Seniors will be welcomed back Monday, August 17, at least to the parking lot. Beginning at 9:00 a.m. those students will be able to paint their parking spots. Seniors should have received an email with details.
