Upcoming Important Dates


Kindergarten Screening--July 19 from 9:00-12:00 This is for children who did not attend the screening in May.

Class placement information will be emailed Tuesday, July 24. Please look for a letter from your child's teacher in the mail, following the email.

Supply Night Drop Off for grades K-5--Sunday, July 29 at 4:00-6:00. We would like for K-2 to come between 4:00-5:00 and for grades 3-5 to come between 5:00-6:00. Since teachers will still be preparing for your arrival, we are not opening classrooms. We appreciate your understanding that this is just a time to drop off supplies and explore the school. For added fun, Frigid Frog will be in our parking lot with Snow Cones. (There is one free snow cone for each Central Elementary student.)

Please note there will be a small ribbon cutting ceremony at 4:00 to celebrate Wal-Mart and our new outdoor patio space.

Car Rider Meeting July 29 from 5:30-6:00 in the gymnasium. This meeting is for parents who plan on their children being car riders rather than daycare, bus riders, or walkers. As always, we are looking for ways to betting improve the communication and make this as safe and smooth of a process as possible.

First Day of School-July 31, 2018- Students may arrive at 8:30. The tardy bell rings at 8:50. Please note that for security reasons, parents are not permitted to walk their child to their classrooms.
