Central CSD

With Seniors last day of school being today.... we all know what tomorrow is! The last walk through the halls of Central is a favorite for many. The walk will being promptly at 9:00 am and is open to Warrior Families. See you there!

Central 6th graders are on the final stretch of our Tiny House Unit. Students drew a floor plan with a scale of 1cm = 1ft. including placement of needed items. Then took a great online shopping trip to purchase the needed supplies. Lots of fun items were found! Checking that the demensions of the item bought fits the area on their plan. Students kept track of their purchases on Google Sheets with formulas. Now the fun begins. Creating a 3D model of the house they designed. Students learned that changed might need to be made on the plans.

With this year's commencement ceremony just days away, we wanted to share a few guidelines with seating and event details for the day. Any questions, please call the Central High School Office at 563-245-1751.

Good Luck to the WarEagles at their season opener tonight!

Central held a send off for the Track & Field 2024 State Qualifiers this afternoon. Gavin Holst will run tomorrow at Drake Stadium and Zoey Hyde will be competing on Friday. Way to represent, Warriors! Wishing you both the best as you make your way to the Blue Oval!

5th graders went to the Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque, Iowa today. They experienced and learned about creatures and information from the Mississippi River and more! It was a full day of learning and FUN! It was a great day to be a WARRIOR!

Central CSD is pleased to announce that seven seniors have been awarded the Seal of Biliteracy. To receive the Seal of Biliteracy, students must show proficiency in English (this can be done on ISASP during their junior year or the ACT). They must then show a proficiency in Spanish in all 4 domains: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. When testing, they must receive at least the level of Intermediate 2 in all four domains to pass. Pictured here with Central Spanish Teacher, Mrs. Kelly Erickson, are this year's Seal of Biliteracy Recipients: Marcus Evans, Caitlyn Druecker, Peyton Finley, Mackayla Vlazny, Jaydin Dettman, Elizabeth Royer and Makayla Erickson. This honor does not come easy!

The countdown is getting real, as today marks Central Seniors very last Wednesday of high school. Mrs. Patenaude kicked off their day with breakfast in her classroom. And Mrs. Keppler may have made a few of them dance before letting them into the school building today too! We're going to truly miss this group of students!!! And a BIG THANKS to Jody Schroeder and The Brim for providing Cold Brew Coffee for the Class of 2024! Coffee is always a hit around here!!!

The Kindergarten and 1st grade had a great field trip today at the Driftless Wetlands Centre. The kids enjoyed playing in the mud kitchen, catching insects, dipping nets for creatures in the wetlands, and learning about different animals that live in the wetlands.
