Central ElementaryUpdate - AprilApril 15, 2024

Message from Mr. Gates

Central Elementary Families/Parents,


Our return from break is met with the business of end of the year activities. Please review the information included to stay abreast of important dates, spring testing, field trips, and whatever else is happening. There is a lot going on in the short time we have left.


Remember, finishing the school year strong is not just about grades; it's about instilling in our children the value of perseverance, dedication, and hard work. By setting a positive example and emphasizing the importance of giving their best effort until the very end, we are helping to shape them into resilient and confident individuals.


Thank you for your partnership in your child's education. Together, let's make these last few months of the school year memorable and impactful for our students.


Sincerely,


Mike Gates
