Message from Mrs. Shostachuk

Dear Central Road Families,

As we approach the conclusion of the 2024 academic year, our school community is preparing to transition into a well-deserved winter break. This newsletter represents our final communication for the calendar year, and we want to take a moment to reflect on our shared journey and extend warm wishes for the upcoming holiday season. We recognize the hard work and dedication demonstrated by our students throughout this semester. The upcoming break provides an excellent opportunity for rest, family time, and rejuvenation. We encourage families to enjoy quality moments together, engage in restful activities, and prepare for the exciting learning opportunities that await in the new year.

Our entire CR staff extends heartfelt wishes for a peaceful, joyful winter break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, December 16th-our final week before winter break.

Mrs. Shostachuk

1st Trimester Progress Reports

Students in grades K-5 have successfully concluded their first trimester as of November 22nd. We are pleased to inform parents that progress reports will be accessible for viewing starting December 13th after 3:00 PM. Throughout the first trimester, our students demonstrated remarkable effort and dedication in their studies. As we transition into the second trimester, we anticipate continued growth and learning for all our students. Thank you for your support as we embark on this next phase of the academic year.

Inclement Weather Plan Reminder

We generally go outside for recess every day. Therefore, students should dress appropriately for the weather. In cold conditions, a winter coat, hat, gloves, boots, snow pants, and dressing in layers is advised. (Exceptions are made only when a child brings a doctor’s note excusing them from outdoor recess). During extreme cold watches and warnings, we follow the below guidelines;
If the temperature outside, together with the wind chill, is below 0°F, all students will remain inside for the entire lunch hour.
If the temperature outside, together with the wind chill, is between 0°–10°F, the preferred procedure is a rotation of 20 minutes for lunch, a 20-minute outdoor recess, and a 20-minute indoor recess. However, at the principal’s discretion, the students may be kept inside for the entire lunch hour.
If the temperature outside, together with the wind chill, is above 10°F, students will have regular outdoor recess.

Please also take a moment to review the District’s Inclement Weather Plan.

E-Learning Information

All students in grades K-8 will be bringing home devices over the upcoming Winter Break so that devices are home in the case of potential inclement weather. All devices should return to schools on Monday, January 6, 2025, after Winter Break or on the next regular in-person school day. For parents/guardians of K-2 students, please remember to return the device, case, and charger when students return to school.
