Halloween @ Central! Outdoor costume parade begins at 1 PM. Out of respect for our students and school atmosphere please make sure costumes are age and school appropriate (i.e. we will nto allow scary masks, fake blood/gore or weapons). Students will not wear costumes but will change into them before the parade which begins at 12:30. All are welcome to come watch the parade which will be outside around our dismissal loop.
Classroom parties begin at 1:15 PM. For parents planning to volunteer at a party, please let your child's classroom teacher your name. The teacher will notify the office and our secretaries will have a badge printed and ready for them. You will need to show ID when entering.
**New substitute teacher and paraprofessional pay rates!**
Last night at our regularly scheduled BoE meeting, there were two agenda items approved that we’d like to bring to your attention. The changes below are not effective until Monday, Nov. 4, 2024.
1). We increased our substitute teacher rate of pay from $115 per day to $135 per day. Retired teachers (from any district) who substitute teach will be paid $150 per day up from $135 per day.

2). We also increased our district paraprofessional hourly rate of pay. Our paraprofessionals fill a variety of roles throughout our district.
