A Note from Mr. Hamilton, Principal
Greetings Central Families,
With the build-up to our students' return now behind us, and four solid days now in the books, the 2022-2023 school year is off and running. I can honestly say I can't recall a better first week. GIANT thanks to you for your support and readiness, and as always, for sharing your amazing kiddos with us!
Please see information below outlining important reminders, things to consider, and upcoming events. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out, 231-744-1693.
See you at the PTO sponsored Back to School Bash this Wednesday!
Cordially,
Cody

IMPORTANT Arrival/Dismissal Reminders
- School starts at 8:45. Please drop off within the 8:35-8:40 window. Breakfast kiddos will be encouraged to enter before the others, as to protect beginning-of-the-day instruction time.
- If you're running late, please bring your child to the office and sign them in.
- When dropping off and/or picking up your child, we thank you for coming to the sidewalk, rather than having students run to you in the parking lot.
- K Parents: For safety reasons, please remain on the north side of the cones when parking near the northeast parking lot. We stage our youngest learners south of the cones.

A Message from the Foodservice Director
Please complete a school lunch application if your income has changed since you last filled one out or if you have not yet completed one this year. This information is super helpful for R-P funding, but also necessary for food service to have if an additional round of P-EBT cards go out. Complete the form online at familyportal.cloud. THANK YOU!
