Through the Iowa Department of Education, Central Community School District has been given the opportunity to hold an after-school program with funds provided by The Learning Beyond the Bell Grant.

If this is something you would like to be involved in or would like more information, please reach out to Central Elementary Principal, Mrs. Pope as soon as possible. If this program moves forward, additional information will be shared out to Central families that would like to participate in the after school program as it becomes available.
