Central Elementary R.O.A.R. Report

Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up soon! Report cards will be handed out at conferences. Please sign up for a time to meet with your child's teacher to discuss your child's progress throughout first quarter.

The main night Central will be holding conferences is Tuesday, Oct. 28th. We will be here from 3:15-7:15 p.m. Your child's teacher may have other times available that week in addition to the 28th.

If you plan on attending the class parties, please let your child's teacher know so we can print out a vounteer badge for you ahead of time. There is always a log line to get into the building on party days, but you can avoid the long line if you let us know you are coming ahead of time. We will have a volunteer sticker printed off for you.

If you are only coming to watch the costume parade, you do not have to pre-register. You can stand outside the building and just watch as the students walk past.

Each week our School Resource Officer, Officer Pratt, visits our 5th grade students teaching them about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, how to resist peer pressure, and how to live productive drug and violence-free lives. Officer Pratt will visit each class for 12 weeks total and then we will end with a D.A.R.E. graduation in December.

Our new pavilion on the front playground is complete! This pavilion was made possible by the proceeds from last spring's cookie dough fundraiser. Thank you to all of our families that participated in last year's fundraiser. This pavilion is a great addition to our playground and provides a great shade structure for our students when they are outside at recess. Thank you to our PTO for spearheading this project!

Our doors open each day at 7:15 a.m. and school begins at 7:45 a.m. Please ensure that your child is here prior to 7:45 a.m. because instruction truly does start at 7:45 a.m. If you arrive after 7:45 a.m. please walk your child inside and sign them in.

Students load the buses each day at 2:40 p.m., and our pick-up process begins at 2:45 p.m.

Here is an image of what our new storm shelter addition will look like. Thanks to Prop K.I.D.S. we are going to be able to add a storm shelter on to our building and free up some classrooms inside our building. We've spent the last few months meeting with the architect designing what the inside of the shelter will look like. The inside of the storm shelter will house Art, Stem, Music, and Computer Lab, as well as some open flex space.

As you can see, the storm shelter will take over our current parent pick-up and drop-off lane and will extend into part of our top playground. We will be moving the parent car lane to the other side of the building and it will go through an area on our top playground- more information to come on that!

Construction work to begin creating the new road for parent drop-off and pick-up could start as early as this January 2026. Construction work for the new addition will begin in summer 2026.
