Overview of services provided by Harrison County Community Services...In response to a circulating post that we have become aware of, we would like to take a moment to clarify what services we offer here at HCCS. Below is the complete list of services.
We will continue to serve people as a drive-up service only until further notice and may be able to provide non food assistance over the phone in some cases. Please call the office at 812-738-8143 if you have questions about eligibility. We are here until 4:30 today and will reopen Monday morning at 8:30.
Some final guidance about the food distribution that will be on Monday, March 30 from noon-2:00 p.m. Please, please, please be patient with our staff members - this is a first time event for all of us.
A bit of preliminary information...
🚙As you approach the school, you will be directed to the distribution line. Please remain in your car.
3️⃣ You will also need to place a sign in your windshield indicating the number of children for whom you are needing meals.
🛑 You will stop at the designated location and the meals will be placed in your trunk. If you do not have a trunk, the meals will be placed near your car. Once the food service worker has stepped away, then you may exit your car quickly and collect your food. This is to protect you and our food service staff.
The number of cases in Harrison County is rising (recently reported to be 9 per the Harrison County Health Department). Please follow all precautionary measures:
🏠 Stay at home except for essential needs;
✋Wash your hands frequently;
6️⃣ Maintain 6 feet of social distance (even when outside);
🤧 Cover coughs and sneezes, etc.
Finally, please do not permit your children to congregate with one another. Experts are unclear as to the spread of virus through children. Per media outlets, we are told there are confirmed cases of the virus being contracted by children in other communities.
There should be no one on the public playground equipment or playing group sports such as basketball or baseball. Keep a safe distance when walking. Let's stop the spread...even one more is too many. Be safe.
Which Corydon school is pick up at ?
I'm one of the lunch ladies in the elementary building lm.assuming it's ours but call the sup office to make sure
What are the plans for cutting back the budget? It is irresponsible to not have plans in place at this time in anticipation of drastic tax revenue falls. A 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% reduction in tax revenue plan must be in place.
Thank you for everything you are doing! It doesn't go unnoticed!
Is this for anyone with kids in school? My son goes to South Central. First time hearing about this.
Can we leave our kids at home or do they need to be present to accept meals?
Thank for for all you are doing, it is much appreciated!!
Thank you for all your doing. I am very much appreciative.
As per our school board meeting yesterday, teachers will be contacting their students on Monday. They will assess the technology situation of each student to see if computer/ paper copies instruction needs to be done. Teachers will also discuss the meal situation and what you need to do if you wish to participate. The enrollment form for meals will be on the corporation website. ( We had a virtual meeting!)
Excellent procedure
Are the meals prepackaged or made at the school?
Pick up places for food will be at Corydon Elementary school Corydon central high school Heth Washington Elementary school and South Central Elementary and High schools.
21st Century Scholars
Here's a little more information regarding enrollment, FAFSA, and completing the Scholar Success Program requirements:
ENROLLMENT
Families unable to submit the 21st Century Scholars enrollment application by the June 30th deadline due to COVID-19 illness or disruptions should submit an appeal with the Enrollment Application Worksheet after the deadline. For enrollment assitance, contact Heather Cooper, our Southeast Region Outreach Coordinator at HCooper@che.in.gov or 317-617-0329.
FAFSA
The FAFSA Frenzy event will be online on April 4th from 1-3 PM. Commission staff will answer questions through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. You can also contact your Outreach Coordinator or our partners at INvestEd at 317-715-9007 for assistance. The FAFSA can be completed via mobile phone at FAFSA.gov or the myStudentAid mobile app. Staff will be available to assist people in Spanish if needed.
Students who fail to file the FAFSA by the April 15th deadline as a direct result of COVID-19 illness or disruption may submit an appeal to the Commission in ScholarTrack. Students will need to explain in their appeal how they were unable to submit the FAFSA by the deadline (ex. lack of access to the application, serious illness of the student or an immediate family member).
SCHOLAR SUCCESS PROGRAM
For seniors who haven’t taken the SAT/ACT yet, that requirement will be waived and no appeal will need to be filed. Juniors will still expected to take one of the exams next academic year. Seniors will still be expected to complete all other Scholar Success Program requirements and can visit the 21st Century Scholar website for suggestions.
No student who is unable to complete a Scholar Success Program activity due to COVID-19 illness or disruption will be denied the 21st Century Scholarship.
