Day one at South Dearborn Middle School included more than finding lockers — Ms. Holt's English class also walked through both a fire drill and a tornado drill.
The timing mattered. With a real tornado warning affecting the area just yesterday, students got a clear, calm walkthrough of exactly where to go and what to do, right before it counted most.
Practicing the plan before you need it is what turns a stressful moment into a manageable one.

South Dearborn Community Schools will dismiss at 2:30pm this afternoon due to the impending weather threat. Special transportation students will be released at 1:45pm. Campus car riders need to be picked up at 2:15pm. DES car riders should be picked at 2:30pm. All after school activities are canceled today.
Bus service will be provided today as normal.
Parents of preschool students will be contacted by their teachers. After Care will still be provided. If you are unable to get here by the designated time, your student will be placed in After Care until you are able to get here.
We apologize for the late notice.
South Dearborn Community School Corporation will operate on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12th, due to downed power lines, fallen trees, and flooding in the area.
They came from two different elementary schools, but by the end of the day, they were one team!
South Dearborn Middle School's sixth-graders started the year with a message from Mr. Schiering, kicking off his own first day as SDMS principal after several years as assistant principal: make new friends, be kind to one another, and build a positive school community together, starting now. That's what it means to be a Knight.
Welcome to the team, sixth-graders!

Do not forget to register ahead of the new school year beginning next week!
We're asking all South Dearborn families to have registration wrapped up by Friday, July 31st, so classrooms, teacher assignments, and schedules are ready to go when students walk in the following week.
Why it matters: schedules and teacher assignments go out only after registration is complete, so the sooner it's done, the sooner you'll know. You'll need proof of residency on hand as part of the process. If you're stuck, call your school office to set up an appointment — don't let a form hold up your student's first day.

South Dearborn Community School Corporation would like to gauge interest in a potential "Before Care" program for our elementary and middle school students that would run from 6:30 to 7:30am on school days. This program would offer a safe and supervised environment for students prior to the start of the school day for a minimal fee. Please note that breakfast will continue to be served beginning at 7:30am, as it has been in the past.
At this time, we are simply collecting information to determine the level of interest in this service. If your family may benefit from the Before Care program, please take a moment to complete the short Google Form through the link below:

Additionally, the district is exploring the possibility of offering a preschool program for three- and four-year-old children starting in the 2026–2027 school year. We are in the early stages of planning and would like to gather community input to better understand the need and interest in such a program.
