CES News
Bullying Vs. Conflict- Helpful Information for Students and Parents
What is my child learning???
Central Elementary teachers have mapped and created a guide to share with parents and families of what students are learning in their classrooms. Teachers use this tool to help plan for the entire school year. With all well intended plans, things will come up and the timelines will shift a bit. We hope that you can use this tool to have more information when talking to your children about what they are learning in school. It takes strong partnerships between school and home to support our students and their learning goals- we always appreciate the support for academic achivement from you all!
** This guide is also located on our website and will be a staple in the newsletter if you would like to reference throughout the school year.
Community Happenings:
