PRINCIPALS MESSAGE
Central students are going to class on time and working hard in class. Great job. There are less hats, doo rags, electronic devices and cell phones in the building. Keep it up. A gentle reminder that if you are “seen” with these items, you will be asked for them. Also no card playing is allowed. All students must carry their ID cards for security purposes daily. If you do not, you will have a consequence or pay for a new ID, the cost will be $3.

Any student, unless you are in an after school activity or sport, you are to leave the building at dismissal.
Let’s keep our school clean! Please do not walk around with any food or drink.
All students, it is through your hard work that will make Central High School one of the best high schools in the state!
Students and staff: We have a serious problem regarding the traffic gridlock in the morning. Please adhere to the following. All student drivers must come in the entrance behind the stadium, Center Street Ext. Any parent wishing to come that way to help alleviate the problem is welcome. Teachers can come in either location as well. The goal is to make the traffic flow as smooth as possible. Any students being dropped off at the main entrance, please tell your parents not to drive into the inner circle as once before.

The first conference is on Wednesday, Nov. 15th from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. and the other is on Thursday, Nov. 16th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. There will be early dismissal both days @ 11:53 a.m. for students and staff. Report cards will be distributed by homeroom teachers.
