Hello Central Families!

As the weather starts to heat up, please take a moment to review Central's dress code policy- The following is taken directly from our Student/ Parent handbook:

Dress Code
Parents are responsible to ensure students are appropriately dressed. The following guidelines should be used in determining if a student’s clothing is appropriate:
*Shirts should include a minimum 2 inch shoulder strap
*No underwear should be visible or worn as outer garment
*Skirts and shorts are to be worn at fingertip length or longer
*No midriffs showing
*Swimsuits may be worn under regular school attire and should not be visible
*Clothing, apparel, or temporary tattoos should not contain messages with sexual, gang, alcohol, tobacco, drugs slogans, or other slogans inappropriate for school

A dress code violation will result in the student notifying parents they need to bring appropriate attire before returning to class or by borrowing a clothing item from our stock at school if that is available. Continued violations may result in disciplinary action.

Thank you for your support!

Hello Central Families,

We would like to send out a friendly reminder about our school policy regarding smart watches. Smart watches should not be worn or used during the school day. Just like cell phones, they need to be turned off and kept in students’ backpacks while at school.

While smart watches can be useful devices, they can also be distracting during learning time. Keeping them turned off and stored in backpacks helps ensure students stay focused and engaged throughout the day.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us maintain a focused learning environment for all students!
