Family Friday at Central!
Throughout the year, one grade level at a time will pause morning tutorials for a single Friday morning so we can give parents and guardians an opportunity to visit classrooms, view recent student work, connect with teachers face-to-face, and meet other school families.
Friday November 6th: Pk and 1st Grade Family Friday!
Who: All PK and 1st grade parents, guardians, and students
Date: Friday, November 6th
Time: 7:30 AM – 8:00 AM (Morning tutorials will be paused for PK and 1st grade during this time)

Please join us by walking your PK or 1st grader to their classroom during the 7:30–8:00 AM window. Normal instruction will begin promptly at 8:00 AM.
Stay tuned for upcoming Family Friday dates for other grade levels—we look forward to Family Friday's all year long!

October.... that's a wrap!
October is our busiest month at Central when it comes to community events! A huge thank you goes to so many people who made this month special at Central Elementary!
First and foremost, thank you to C-PTO. You are the heart and soul behind so much of our campus. Thank you for your talents, your sweat and tears, and the hours upon hours of work you poured into our campus to make it special for our students, our staff, and our community. Our book fair and Fall Festival remain second to none, and our campus is the best because of you!
Thank you to our teachers and staff for your efforts toward and hearts for our kids. Thank you for pushing our students academically while celebrating experiences every child should have.
Thank you to our community (and beyond) for your support of our Central students. Our Read-a-Thon was a tremendous success and Grand Friends Day was bigger and better than ever!
We hope all of our students, staff, and community have a wonderful weekend! Happy Halloween!
