Message from Mrs. Shostachuk

Dear Central Road Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We hope you are squeezing in every last minute summer activity before the start of the 2024-2025 school year. Our entire staff at Central Road looks forward to encouraging, helping, guiding, nurturing, and supporting all of our students academically and socially this school year. Central Road can’t wait to welcome back our former wolves and meet our new wolves as we Move District 15 Forward. This year, we are excited to implement full-day kindergarten.

Our school hours are 9:15 a.m. to 3:55 p.m. Arrival begins at 9:00 a.m. School begins at 9:15 am. Every Friday, we dismiss students at 3:05 p.m to provide time for our staff to engage in professional development activities.

Teacher assignment(s) and busing information will be viewable in Infinite Campus on/after August 19th. We tentatively plan to have 4 sections/classrooms at each grade level-kindergarten to 5th. Ensuring registrations are complete is a critical part of our planning process so we have the proper staffing for this year. Please drop off or e-mail any needed forms/documentation at your earliest convenience to finalize any registrations on hold.

We look forward to welcoming our students and their families on Tuesday, September 3rd to "Meet the Teacher" from 1:45-2:30 p.m. We too look forward to welcoming students and staff for the 2024-2025 school year on Thursday, September 5th for our first day of school.

Thank you for taking time to read our communication. If you have any questions or concerns related to the information shared, please feel free to reach out at any time. Until then, we are diligently preparing for everyone's arrival. Home-school communication is very important to us so please anticipate receiving information from us regularly moving forward. This upcoming school year is going to be AMAZING for all returning students and new families to Central Road. We cannot wait to see you next month!

Every Day of School Counts

As we gear up for the new school year, we are excited to introduce our Every Day Counts: Here Today, Achieve Tomorrow initiative. This initiative emphasizes the importance of daily attendance to foster academic success and personal growth.

One key feature of this program is sending families personalized, monthly communication about their child's attendance and how it compares to their peers in District 15. Families need to opt in by replying with a "Y" to the first text; you can opt out at any time. Let's work together to ensure every student maximizes their learning through consistent attendance. Together, we can make every day count!

Fall MAP Testing

It may seem too early to even think about Fall Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) testing, but it’ll be here before we know it due to our later start dates. Here’s what you need to know about MAP testing:

Students in grades 2-8 will participate in MAP Testing in reading and math beginning September 11. MAP tests are unique because they adapt to your child’s responses to measure your child’s skill level. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If your child answers incorrectly, the next question is easier.

These results provide a more complete picture of what your child knows and is ready to learn — whether it is on, above, or below their grade level. MAP tests measure students’ achievement and growth. Teachers use results to identify students with similar learning needs, tailor classroom lessons, and set goals for students. MAP results will be shared with families in early October.
