The past few years we have put a heavy emphasis on building stronger relationships at Central. Our next step in doing so is to tell you a little about ourselves! Each week you will see posts highlighting a team member, feel free to comment to tell us what we have in common!
Welcome back!
We are so excited to see all of you!
Have a great first day, Warriors!
Just a friendly reminder that if you have not registered your student they will not receive their 1:1 device until you do. If you have not paid registration fees but have registered the student will get their 1:1 device but can not take it home. Please call the office if you have any questions or stop in today during Open House.
Central Community,
After a lot of thought and consideration for what is best for our student-athletes and program, we are announcing that we will forgo the 2022 Varsity football schedule and play a JV schedule only. This decision will allow us to focus on the development of our upcoming football players and prepare them to be successful at the varsity level. We fully intend to play a Varsity schedule in 2023. That decision will be made in March and will be based on the commitment of our student-athletes. The JV football season is just the start of our preparation for the 2023 year. The “Building Bridges” model we have implemented is a guide to the work required to be prepared.
We look forward to the Central Community supporting our football program by attending our JV games this season. The current schedule is below. Junior High starts at 4:15, JV to follow at approximately 5:45. If you would like to get involved in the process of rebuilding the Central football program you can email Mr. Reinhart at areinhart@central.k12.ia.us, Coach Heitland at bheitland@central.k12.ia.us, or call 563.245.1751.

Additionally, last year the Student Council created a new plan for Homecoming festivities. That plan will be shared out by the students in the first few days of school. In short, all other aspects of Homecoming will go on as scheduled.
Bus/Bridge update: There will be a bus stop at the Courthouse again this year while the bridge is closed to pedestrians. Morning pick up will be approximately 7:50am and drop off around 3:25 (1:55 on Fridays).
Thank you to all who purchased a 2022-2023 activity wall calendar. We have five remaining. Please call 245-1750 or email awalch@central.k12.ia.us if you want to reserve one for $20.
The Central CSD app “events tab” is back up and running!
Central Families,
We have heard some concerns about Central's Open House being during working hours (12:30 - 3:00, Monday, August 22nd). In a typical school year, teachers have work time and days ahead of school starting to prepare their classrooms. This upcoming school year, the elementary teachers are learning a new math curriculum and will be in training during the days they previously utilized to prepare their classrooms. The Building Leadership Team debated canceling the open house but ultimately decided to host something Monday afternoon while the teachers were still setting up their classrooms. This would allow us to meet our students while also preparing for school to start the next day. Students who already know their teachers and classrooms are welcome to attend the open house or they can bring their school supplies with them on Tuesday the 23rd (the first day of school). To try and better accommodate our working families we will add another hour to our open house on the 22nd and go from 12:30 - 4:00.
Next year we will reevaluate open house and try to stay away from doing it during the day. Thank you for your understanding and support,
Mr. Trenkamp

Lane Orr was also recognized for his steer having the highest rate of gain by gaining an average of 4.31 pounds per day and Nate’s steer’s rate of gain was 4th in county with an average of 4.11 pounds per day.
