Happy Friday Central families. Parent Teacher conferences are coming up soon believe it or not, please see the information below. We have a couple events coming up at Central from our PTC including our Movie Night this year which is tonight Friday January 30th from 6:00-8:00. PTC will be providing a slice of pizza along with water as long as it is available. The movie night will be in our cafeteria at Central Elementary and we are watching Lilo & Stitch Live version. More information below in regards to what the event entails. Tarry Hall Skating Party is set for Feb. 4th in a couple weeks also set up by our PTC to get our Central families out together outside of the school day. We also have our next Donuts with Grownups that our PTC sponsors and supports which is going to be February 12 and 13th. We have Junior and Senior Survivor starting on Sunday February 1st.

This is the time of year we see a LOT of illness in schools.  PLEASE refer to the district's policy regarding when to keep your child home.  

Guidelines for Keeping Students Home From School. 

Please send extra clothes with your kids that they can keep in their lockers in case of an accident.  The office is also running low on the following sizes:

8/10 pants  

adult 2X in athletic shorts

We find it best that the pants have an athletic or sweatpant feel. Thank you for helping to restock our supplies!

Attendance hotline:

Absences & Tardies:

Please remember to call our Attendance Hotline anytime your child will be absent or tardy for school. If we do not receive a call, the absence will be marked as unexcused.  Consistent attendance is extremely important. Missing school - whether for a full day or even part of a day- can have a significant impact on your child’s academic progress and success.

Early Pickups and Appointments:

If you need to pick your child up early due to an appointment, please call the office when you are on your way so we can do our best to have your child in the office when you arrive. Please send a note or email your child’s teacher that day as a reminder.
