Welcome Back!

Dear Students and Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Central Community Elementary School! We hope your summer was filled with fun, family, and time to recharge. We are so excited to welcome our Bear Cubs back and begin another year of learning, growing, and making memories together.

As we begin this year, we are reminded that we are better when we work together. Strong partnerships with students and families are at the heart of a successful school community. We are committed to listening, communicating openly, celebrating successes, and supporting one another along the way.

We will continue to focus on building a positive school culture where every student feels safe, valued, respected, and supported. We believe in kindness, responsibility, and mutual respect, and we are committed to modeling these values each day. Together, we can create a school community where every child feels a sense of belonging and has the opportunity to grow and succeed.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being such an important part of our school community. We are looking forward to an incredible year together!

Mr Glynn and Mrs. Evans

This year, our district-wide theme is Growing Purposeful Partnerships. Partnerships exist all throughout a district. Whether it's between schools and families, teachers and students, staff and community members, and among colleagues working together. Each of these relationships play an important role in creating the strong foundation our students need to thrive. As a district, we are committed to making these partnerships intentional and meaningful, ensuring that every connection supports the growth, success, and well-being of our students. We are excited to focus on this purposeful work together throughout the year.

There is no need to be waiting anxiously for a school supply list. We provide all school supplies that your child(ren) will need to be successful here at school! If you would like to help support your child's classroom, please be on the look out for personalized teacher wish lists. Teachers will share their wish lists (if they chose to create one) as the start of the year gets closer.

The only items that we ask for your child(ren) to bring are:

*Backpack

*Lunchbox

*Water bottle

*Appropriate weather clothing

If any of these items are a hardship for your family, please reach out to our office staff!

What is a PAWS Parade?

Our PAWS Parade is a special celebration where students, staff, and parents line the hallways to cheer for students who have earned a PAWS Award for being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. Students can be recognized by their classroom teacher, allied arts teachers, and *new this year* their principals! It’s a joyful way to honor positive choices and encourage our whole school community to live by our PAWS expectations.

A completed (signed by physician and parent) medication permission form is required for all students needing medication at school, including inhalers and EpiPen's. Attached is a form you can print at home, fill out, and send back in. Or you can get a form from our office!

We have a new procedure for parent drop off this school year. Our buses will go back to using the bus loop in the morning, which means NO vehicles should be in the bus loop from 7:30-8:00am.

If you plan to drop your child off and have them walk into the building on their own, please use our "quick drop off" loop to do so.

If you plan to walk your child into the building, please use our parking lot to park and go inside.

We will have staff outside to help assist with this new transition for the first few days of school.

Please do not drop off students prior to 7:30. We do not have staff available to monitor students.

In the afternoon only, the bus loop is open to parents for parent pick up. You can use either the bus loop or the "quick drop off loop" to pick up your students. Students will come outside around 2:15pm and will walk to your vehicle. If you plan to come inside to pick up a student, please use our parking lot to park.

Sometimes, buses will be parked along the outer side of the bus loop. Please do not block them in.

We will have staff available to help this process run smoothly!

Students can be picked up between 2:15-2:40. If they are not picked up before 2:40, we will have one of our staff give you a call and they will remain in the office.
