Central Public Schools - Education Is Central

Central Kindergarten Team would like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to Edmentum for helping Kindergarten staff get ready for the school year. Six volunteers came last week to clean and set up the classrooms in time for the open house (Open house appointments can be scheduled for Wendesday Sept. 1 or Tuesday Sept. 7). Edmentum's hard work was appreciated!

Thank you to the Cologne Fire Department for the generous donation to the Raider Room for snacks for our students. Last year over 3000 snacks went to students in need; which could not have been provided without your support. The Raider Room was established three years ago to provide snacks, clothing and school supplies to any student in need.

High School yearbooks have arrived.  Students who ordered a yearbook can pick them up Wednesday, August 18th outside the High School from 8:00 a.m.- 10:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.   Students who owe a remaining balance should bring the remaining payment during pick up.  There are also extra books available for purchase, cost is $60.00.  Books can also be picked up in the library when school starts.  If you have any questions please contact Ms. Street at kstreet@isd108.org.
