ANTICIPATED SCOPE OF WORK

ROOFS-WEST CENTRAL SCHOOL CORPORATION

West Central School Corporation is accepting bids for replacement of the West Central Middle/High School roof on the high school gym as a result of a recent hail storm.  This work may be combined with alternate bids with metal roof work on our bus barn, dugouts and pressbox on the athletic fields that were additionally damaged.

The School Corporation is requesting detailed drawings including insulation details and options related to alternate bids for the Corporation to consider.  

Bidders are strongly encouraged to reach out to West Central Schools to conduct an onsite evaluation of the facilities in their preparation of bids.  This work is the result of an insurance claim related to hail.

Bids are due Monday, March 30, 2026 to Dr. Cathy Rowe, 1850 S. US 421, Francesville, IN 47946 or sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We have begun our 2025 construction project!  Check here for construction updates from time to time.  We are excited to see critical improvements!

West Central has several facilities improvements that are being planned over the next 12-18 months.  Moake Park is the architect and design firm tasked with designing and leading this project.  Representatives from Moake Park were at the August 1, 2024 school board meeting and presented the Board with the following visual improvements for consideration.  More refinement will take place, however the public may access the preliminary plans here.

 

The answer seems quite simple!  But don’t take our word for it.  Here are the reasons why parents choose to send their children to West Central.  They may live in another school district, but choose to have their child educated at West Central.  Upon completion of Out of District paperwork, parents are asked to state the reasons for their child’s transfer on that form.  Here are their responses for the 2024-2025 school year: 2024-2025 Out of District Request Reasons

Indiana Youth Survey

This spring, students will have the option to participate in the Indiana Youth Survey (INYS). The INYS is a biennial survey that assesses students’ substance use, mental health, and risk and protective factors that can impact student success. Students in grades 6-12 are scheduled to participate. Your child’s school will administer the survey sometime during the window of March 11 - 22, 2024. If you would like to know the date scheduled for your child’s school, please contact the school’s main office. The survey is conducted by Prevention Insights of Indiana University School of Public Health and can be viewed HERE. 
 
The survey takes 20-30 minutes to complete and is voluntary, confidential, and anonymous. Students taking the online survey will also be informed that their participation is voluntary and anonymous. No return path will be generated to identify who completed the online questionnaire. The purpose of the survey is to have accurate knowledge of alcohol, drug, tobacco usage, and risk factors from the youth in our community. The information will be compared to both state and national data. The school corporation will receive a report that indicates usage and survey outcomes by grade level. The outcomes of the survey assist in planning curricula and programs to address health, safety, alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention.    
 
Again, the survey is voluntary and confidential. If you or your student chooses NOT to participate in the survey, please notify your child’s school front office staff, counselor, or principal. 

West Central is pleased to share the results of our schools!  The Indiana GPS system provides parents and the public with valuable and useful information on the performance of schools.  West Central is making great strides in academic achievement for all of our students and we encourage you to take a look!

If your child was eligible to receive free or reduced-price meal benefits during the 2022-2023 school year, they are still receiving those benefits as part of the USDA 30-day eligibility carryover allowance. Eligibility carryover allows children to maintain their prior school year eligibility status for up to 30 operating days into the next school year or until a new eligibility determination is made; whichever comes first.

This carryover will end September 20, 2023. If you believe your child(ren) should continue to receive meal benefits, please complete a meal benefit application and return it to the food service office by September 20, 2023 to avoid paid lunch charges. Applications can be accessed by contacting your school’s main office or visiting the online portal at https://www.wcsc.k12.in.us/wcsc/info/food-services-new.

The paid meal prices are as follows: $1.35 for elementary and $2.45 for middle/high school for breakfast and $2.45 for elementary and $3.00 for middle/high school lunch. If an income application is not approved by September 20, 2023 your child(ren) will be changed to paid status and charged the amounts listed above.

If you have questions regarding your child’s eligibility status please contact: Rebecca Shepperd, Director of Food Services at 219.567.9119 x1542.

Thank you
