During August & September, Main Street School & Kindergarten Center hyper-focused on "Self-Control."
Teachers reinforced in the classroom w/ literary stories & discussions highlighting characters & theme related to Self-Control & the students’ personal lives. Teachers & staff regularly praised this trait when it was observed in front of peers.
We are strategic w/ the praise as well. We praise the character & effort/process w/ more value than the end result. i.e. We do not praise a student by saying, "You are smart" or “I am proud of you for getting an A." We say, "I was impressed w/ your work ethic & grit even when the math problem got difficult; you didn't give up" or "I noticed you allowing a peer to join your game & made them feel accepted."
Our "mantra" @ Main Street School & Kindergarten Center is "BE NICE; WORK HARD."
Congratulations to the September Treating Others Politely (T.O.P.) students of the month at Moulton!!!!

ALL Main Street Elementary School & Shelbyville Kindergarten Center students will have their school picture taken on Tuesday, October 5th. This will be for the school yearbook even if families are not ordering pictures. There will be a re-take opportunity on Friday, November 5th.
ALL Main Street Elementary School (1st-3rd) grade GRANDPARENTS are INVITED for a special experience w/ their grandchild student.
This event will be a grade-level rotation w/ a schedule: 1st grade @ (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) / 2nd grade @ (10:30 AM - 12:00 PM) / 3rd grade @ (12:45 PM - 2:15 PM) @ Forest Park.
ALL Grandparents should show up just slightly early (NOT too early or you might interfere w/ the prior grade-level event) & find a seat in the Chautauqua building in the center of the park. This is a great opportunity to showcase this community historic building w/ recent renovations. It has a concrete floor, stage, bench seating for 400, etc...
The event will begin w/ a quick WELCOME. Then, grandparents will get to match up w/ their grandchild student & travel to (3) stations: BOOK FAIR (bring $ & "spoil" those grandkids) / share a SNACK & activity time / enjoy some time @ the playground area.
This will lead to an entire grade-level MUSIC performance in the Chautauqua building. Please be sure to give those last hugs before the music performance. Students will be exiting the stage orderly with their class to load back on the school bus to return to the school.
Grandparents will not be permitted to sign-out the grandchild @ the park for lunch or to leave early.
Please avoid parking @ the playground pavilion N of the Chautauqua as this will be the established loading & unloading zone for the bus.
Also, please RSVP with the teacher so we know how many grandparents to expect...there might be some special gifts the students create.
Moulton's Annual Trick or Treat for Canned Goods will look different this year. Please see the flyer and consider donating!

Mr. Ladd | SHS Principal
Kindergarten Grandparents are invited for a special visit to their grandchildren's school on Friday, October 1st, 2021 @ 1:30 PM.
Enjoy a music performance in the SHS recently renovated auditorium. Then, get the chance to see the classroom & meet their teacher. There is also time to share a snack in the cafeteria where they eat lunch everyday. Student ART projects will also be displayed to view & praise.
Face masks are required & we encourage all visitors to social distance as much as possible.
Please be sure to let the Kindergarten teacher know how many grandparents will be attending via ClassDOJO.
Also, if you would like the grandparent(s) to be able to "sign-out" the student since this event ends so close to the conclusion of the school day, please let the classroom teacher know & each kindergarten teacher will have a sign-out sheet with them in their classroom along with a list of approved adults to release the kindergarten students to.
Shelbyville Kindergarten students & families are invited to the Shelbyville Kindergarten Center Thursday, September 23rd, 2021 @ (5-6) PM to talk with the teacher, visit the classroom, see student work, share a snack with their child/student in the cafeteria where they eat lunch everyday & even have some fun playground time. This is an "open house" format & is just an opportunity to strengthen the school-home connection & partnership.
This message is from Shelbyville CUSD #4: Parents, the school district continues to experience a shortage of able-bodied bus drivers. We urge your patience and understanding as some routes may experience delays. Additionally, if you are able to bring your child to school in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day, especially students living in town, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your understanding.
