Central City School

There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 19th, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

School will resume on Tuesday, January 20th with a normal dismissal time.

We are excited to share that a new bell system has been installed at CCS, thanks to XT Solutions! For our junior high students, this update means bells will now signal both the start and dismissal of each class period. In addition, digital clocks have been installed in every classroom and hallway to help students easily keep track of time. As we approach third quarter, we would like to remind junior high students and parents of our expectations regarding timeliness to class. Students who arrive after the bell signaling the start of a class period will be considered tardy and will be asked to sign in with their teacher for that period. After three tardies in a quarter, an after school detention will be issued. Please note that morning sign-ins at the front office for appointments or similar reasons are excluded from this policy. For additional details regarding late arrival to school, please refer to the Student Handbook under the “Tardy Policy” section. Thank you for your support in helping our students be on time and ready to learn!

Just a reminder that we will dismiss early at 2 pm tomorrow, Wednesday January 7th.

We would like for you to meet our new bowling coach, Kaytlan Branch! 🎳 Please join us for a Bowling Parent Meeting on Wednesday, January 14th at 4:00 pm in the CCS cafeteria. This meeting is for students in grades 4-8 and their parents. Come meet the coach, learn about the season, and get important information for this year's bowling team. We hope to see you there!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As Christmas break winds down, I wanted to send a friendly reminder about PE shoe expectations. Students must wear tennis shoes (athletic sneakers) for all PE classes, both indoors and outdoors. Students are NOT to wear their inside PE shoes outside.

For safety reasons, boots, slides, sandals, Crocs, or any open-toed or non-athletic shoes are not permitted during PE activities. Proper tennis shoes help prevent injuries and allow students to participate fully. If students do not have a pair of shoes for inside or outside, they may borrow a pair from me, and if I do not have their size, I will find or purchase a pair of that size.

Thank you for your support in helping our students stay safe and ready to learn. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Sincerely,

Ms. Sligar

Winter weather has arrived! We want to give you a quick reminder about recess at CCS. We will take students outside as much as possible, as long as the real-feel temperature is above 32°F and there is no rain or snow.

Please make sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather. Also, label coats, gloves, lunchboxes, and other items in case they are misplaced.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone warm, safe, and ready for fun!
