A Message from the Principal

Hi, my name is Matt Jellison and I am the principal of South Central Elementary School.  At SCES we are blessed to have a wonderful staff to make sure that the students get an outstanding start to their education. The teacher’s do a great job preparing fun and engaging lessons for students.  The “lunch ladies” make great meals to keep the students energized and well fed.  Every student is able to have PE and music class everyday.  It is always nice to hear music coming from the music room and the noise of kids at play during PE class.  South Central Elementary School strives to give every student a well rounded education.

    Be the I in Kind!

    Mr. Jellison has started the "Be the I in Kind" recognition program. Faculty have received tickets that have this motto printed on it. As they see students displaying kindness to other students they will give them a ticket and put their name on the back.  They will put the tickets in a box at the office.  After 2 weeks Mr. Jellison will draw students that will be recognized at a short assembly. These students will receive a small prize, have their picture taken and put on a sign in the hallway to recognize them.  We will have the assembly every other week and recognize new students at that time. Let's spread some kindness throughout the hallways of SCES/MS!!
