South Vermillion Community School Corporation

Good evening, First of all, thank you for your flexibility with the early release on Friday. We hope you had a safe weekend as the road conditions did worsen throughout the afternoon and evening. We just wanted to remind you that school will operate on a normal schedule tomorrow, February 19th, due to a snow day in January. Thank you and let's have a great week.

Good morning, again! Due to the inclement weather, the SVCS will be dismissing early today, Friday, February 16th. Elementary students will be dismissed at 12:30 p.m. and secondary students will be dismissed at 1:10 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact your student's school. We will provide an update for this evening's events. Everyone be safe and have a great weekend!

Good morning! With the likelihood of inclement weather today, we wanted to communicate with all SVCS families the POSSIBILITY of an early dismissal. We will monitor weather conditions throughout the morning, which will help us to determine when to dismiss. We will send out updates as needed. We hope you have a great Friday! Stay safe!

💻 In some capacity, isn't every day Digital Learning Day? We want our students to know how to use the right technology at the right time (and not just all the technology all the time) so they can thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.

We are excited to now have the Robotics & Automation modules from @PLTWorg in Grade 5 this year. Students are building and testing mobile robots in their STEAM class thanks to a grant from The Giacoletto Foundation. #ProjectLeadTheWay #PLTW

Our K-12 Computer Science programming with Project Lead the Way is empowering our students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in an innovation-driven economy. Check out the @PLTWorg modules we offer at each grade level. #PLTW
