I want to thank all of you for your patience during our first days of school this year! Drop off and pick-up is always a little hectic at Central Elementary. With your help, most everything has been very smooth.
I want to invite everyone to our first CWP (Central Wildcat Pride) meeting on September 6th at 6:30 in the cafeteria. The CWP is our PTO organization here at Central. We have one fundraiser and a lot of different activities. For example we have our Fall Festival, Bingo Night, Movie Night, Father/ Daughter and Mother/ Son dances, Christmas Boutique and the Angel Tree. With all of these different activities we look for as much help as possible. With each activity we try and get a chair person and helpers to plan and run the activities.
Thank you!

Joplin Relief, CWP Update, Parent survey, dump truck
Hello Parents,
The end of the year is coming fast! I have to say that I have truly loved working with your children this year!!
Just a reminder that next Tuesday and Wednesday will be half days. Students will be dismissed at approximately 11:45.
We are going to have a "hat or pajama" day tomorrow in an effort to raise money for the victims in Joplin. If the students will bring in a dollar they can wear a hat or their pajamas.
We also have a “climate survey” attached to the parent portal within SIS. If you would please take the time to fill it out we would greatly appreciate it. Just log in as if you were looking at your student’s grades and you should see a link there.
We are looking for someone that may have a small dump truck that would be able to help us haul some dirt into our Outdoor Classroom. We have the dirt, but we were hoping to make it a little easier to get it where we need it. Just contact the office if you have any ideas. Thank you!
