A message from Principal Gelmi: 

Happy Valentine’s Day Central Families. Our second week of Parent Teacher conferences are coming up next week, if you haven’t scheduled a conference with your child’s teacher please do so. Information is below to sign up for a time if you haven’t already. Thank You to our PTC for supporting and sponsoring our Donuts with Grownups! It was so great to see so many families Thursday and Friday morning! Next week Thursday (February 19th) morning on our half day we will be having our glow party as a PBIS celebration with our kids. They earned that from the last spin in our January assembly. Thanks for sharing your kids with us and have a great Valentine weekend!

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!

Registration for the Class of 2039 is opening up on February 2nd, 2026!

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.
