Teachers were TIRED this Tuesday for our Secret Teacher Spirit Week! It's been so fun listening to the students guess the theme.

Halloween @ Central! Outdoor costume parade begins at 1 PM. Out of respect for our students and school atmosphere please make sure costumes are age and school appropriate (i.e. we will nto allow scary masks, fake blood/gore or weapons). Students will not wear costumes but will change into them before the parade which begins at 12:30. All are welcome to come watch the parade which will be outside around our dismissal loop.
Classroom parties begin at 1:15 PM. For parents planning to volunteer at a party, please let your child's classroom teacher your name. The teacher will notify the office and our secretaries will have a badge printed and ready for them. You will need to show ID when entering.
