Central Elementary School News and Announcement Archive

Students become interactive participants as they learn about how a seed grows to make the pumpkin we just picked.

Mrs. St. Pierre's class takes a break from using their five senses and finding their "perfect" pumpkin to smile for the camera.

Here is a pic of some students doing an activity "Saving Fred" in which they had to problem solve and work with a partner to save "Fred" (a gummy worm) from drowning! :) Lots of laughing, teamwork and problem solving.

Reading And Math Support

Central Elementary has three Intervention Specialist that support qualifying students in math and reading.  Assessment takes place multiple times during the school year to monitor student growth to determine whether continued support by a specialist is necessary.  The start of the school year necessitates the need to assess students so that we are servicing the students with the greatest need. This may mean that students that received support last year may not qualify for support this year. If your child qualifies for support in math or reading, you will be receiving a letter home.
