Thank you for your interest in Jac-Cen-Del Schools and learning more about all of the opportunities we have to offer. We provide a wide-range of academic programs and extracurricular activities to prepare students for success. At JCD, we have a rich history in not only academics, but our extra-curricular programs as well. Jac-Cen-Del is consistently ranked among the best of Southeastern Indiana. In the most recent state report card, Jac-Cen-Del Community School Corporation received a "B" rating. In addition, Jac-Cen-Del Elementary received a "B" rating while Jac-Cen-Del High School received an "A" rating.
In this technological age, we continuously strive to push innovating learning, such as Project Lead the Way (PLTW), in a wide array of courses throughout the district. We have also invested a great deal to prepare our staff and students in the use of technology as every student in the district has an electronic device.
At Jac-Cen-Del, we have strong partnerships with the Southeastern Indiana Career Center, Ivy Tech, and Indiana University. We also offer extra-curricular activities in programs such as music, art, robotics, and FFA just to name a few. These activities, along with our athletic programs, gives all our students the opportunity to get involved in areas of interest.
We would welcome the opportunity to show you our district and what makes Jac-Cen-Del a truly special place to be. Where we strive for academic and extracurricular excellence to give Every Student, Every Chance, Every Day.
Sincerely,
Sam Melton
Superintendent
Jac-Cen-Del Community Schools wants to remind families that the free school meals program is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is ending. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, school corporations across the country have been operating with the use of a federal waiver that allowed them to feed every child for free through the end of this school year. The use of this waiver will not be available after this school year and corporations will return to the traditional eligibility requirements for free, reduced and paid meals. This means that for School Year 2022-2023, our school corporation will process free and reduced-price meal benefit applications. To review how to apply for free and reduced meals after July 1, click here:

Notes:
As of yesterday, April 2, 2020, there was an announcement from Dr. Jennifer McCormick, our State Superintendent, declared that as of now the rest of the 2019-2020 school year will be only through e-learning and the use of waiver days. As you are aware, we have sent out a calendar for the remainder of April and we will put out another one for May very soon.
That being said, the administrative team has been working closely with all teachers to ensure they are prepared and ready to give your child/ren the best academic experience we can through online communication (zoom, email, etc.)
I know the bulk of concern surrounds seniors and our parents of seniors. We will be posting a FAQ on our website and Facebook in the very near future that will give you answers to some of the pressing questions you may have.
In the same light, most of the parents and students that are reaching out is in regards to the graduation ceremony. The administrative team is meeting, again, this morning to discuss all possibilities and options. We have to consider everything from a delayed ceremony to creative measures if we are still under the guidelines of a quarantine. I want to reassure all of you that it is our intent to hold a ceremony that will honor every graduating senior in the highest degree. We have discussed some very creative measures and, as this is not ideal for anyone, we feel it is extremely important to declare every eligible senior a graduate.
The administration will keep you updated as Governor Holcomb and Dr. Jennifer McCormick determine the course of our state and county's quarantine guidelines. Look for additional documents to be posted very soon to our website and Facebook page for further guidance.
I thank each and every one of you for understanding the state of education and the health of our county/state.
In Education,
Ryan Middleton
Superintendent
