Central CSD

It was a great night to be a Central Warrior! PK-6th grade families came to engage in a Family Literacy Night. Roughly 190 parents and students came to learn more about Fluency, Comprehension, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics and Vocabulary and walked away with games/activities that they can play at home with their children. Special Thanks to Central Lead, Central High School Student Council, Central PTO, Kid Central and Central Staff. It was a great success!

Congratulations to these Worthy Warriors for the week of November 11th through the 15th. Thank you for showing care, commitment, and safety at school!!

Yesterday Central had the privilege of hosting the Upper Iowa Conference Honor Band. These students came from eight different schools, nine including Central. Their hard work and dedication to the day paid off in a wonderful concert last night!

Big congratulations to Mr. Jared Funk on being elected as Central Community School's new School Board President and Mr. Josh Embretson on being elected as Central Community School's new Vice President.

This fall Central added a new course to the High School offerings. The new class, titled Athletic Officiating, is taught by Mr. Wiley using the RefReps curriculum in partnership with the Iowa High School Athletic Association. The course is designed to get high school students involved in the athletic officiating. Central has 12 students enrolled in the course and tonight three of those students were on the mat for our Junior High Boys Meet - Braxton, Mayleigh, and Reese. All three students have passed the test to become certified wrestling officials in Iowa and are working tonight under certified official Joe Koehn and Tim Rupard to gain experience. Like this post if you love to see teenagers step up and be part of the solution!!
