Central Elementary Bits and Bites
August 12th-15th
Welcome Back!
Central Elementary School is excited to start a fresh new school year! We can't wait to get our students back in our classrooms to begin another great year. Returning and new families, we are so happy to have you as part of Raider Nation.
Each week, our newsletter, Bits and Bites is sent to families via email and shared on our social media, as well as on our app.
We want communication to be easily available between school and home. In addition to the weekly newsletter from Mrs. Littrell, teachers will also be sharing specifically content that will be learned and topics to be covered in addition to classroom activities and special events in a monthly newsletter. Talking Points will also be used as a communication tool with the teachers and families. You can sign up in the app if you choose, or when a teacher sends a message, it will be deliverd via text message to your cellular device.
If you have any contact changes throughout the school year, please don't hesitate to reach out to Nurse Stephanie in the office to make those changes.
Again, thank you for being here, and please let us know if you have any questions!

5th Grade Starbase Coming Soon!!
Parents, this year our Starbase experience for 5th graders is right at the start of school. IF you did not sign a parent permission slip at Open House, please check your child's backpack, sign and return the permission slip with your child to school on Tuesday morning.
We depart from school at 8am and return around 3:30pm. All students receive a sack lunch.
Starbase is a program located at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas. It is an educational experience where children learn about robotics, coding, engineering, chemistry, weather, and so much more. We are happy and excited to bring this opportunity to our students once again! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
