Picture Retake Day

Our photography company will be back at Central Road School for Picture Retake Day on Monday, November 4, 2024. All students who were absent on Picture Day will be photographed on that day. If your child was here on Picture Day and you would like for them to sit for a retake, simply inform your child's teacher. Online ordering will be opened again on this day. Pictures should be coming home next week from our original picture day.

Veteran's Day Information

Those who serve our country are among the bravest of people who deserve to be honored and recognized on Veterans Day. The staff and students of Central Road would like to invite the veterans of our community to a Veterans Day Appreciation Event on Friday, November 8th. If you know of a Veteran in our community, such as a neighbor or friend, or, if your child has a relative who has served in one of the armed forces, we would like to hear from you. We will be hosting a breakfast and 2 assemblies for our guests. Please complete the google link here. We too are looking for donations for our event. If you are able to donote an item, please sign up here. Lastly if you have a picture to share of a Veteran, please send it to the school office by November 4th. We will display the photos proudly on our bulletin board. Please include your family name on the back so we may return it.

E-Learning School Wide Practice Day

In the event of inclement weather this year, our district will be conducting an eLearning day. This will ensure that our school year ends on our scheduled date. On November 20th, we will be practicing an eLearning day at school. During this practice day, all students will practice joining their virtual Google Meet link in their classroom so that they have some experience with how they will access the Google Meet link in the event of an eLearning day. On that practice day, all students will bring home their devices, case, and charger including our K-2 students.

Parent-Teacher Conferences: 11/25 & 11/26

We want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and involvement in your child's education. We would like to highlight the importance of our upcoming parent-teacher conferences. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity to strengthen the home-school connection. Your insights as a parent are crucial in helping us understand your child's unique needs and strengths. Together, we can discuss strategies to support their learning and development effectively. Thank you for prioritizing this important collaboration. We look forward to seeing you on either Monday, November 25th or Tuesday, November 26th. Students will not have school on these days.

Inclement Weather Plan Reminder

The weather is beginning to get cooler. Please note students will go outside for recess each day as long as it is not raining. Students should begin to wear jackets, hats, gloves as needed.

As we also approach the colder months, please take a moment to review the District’s Inclement Weather Plan. In addition to the inclement weather plan, there is also a severe cold response plan in the event that this winter brings with it the extreme wind chills. Fingers crossed for a mild fall and winter – but either way…stay warm out there!
