March Fine Arts Student of the Month
Maci was nominated for demonstrating the ability to balance school, fine arts, sports, a job, college classes, and student government. She has a bright, cheery personality with a positive attitude. Maci is dependable and trustworthy. The nominating coach, Mrs. Yanda, wrote, "Maci struggled with her material for performance, but never got discouraged or gave up. She asked for many extra practice times. In the end, the hard work paid off and the performance was successful."
Only a few spots left!
We are hearing some concerns and misinformation about the 2021/2022 district calendar. Last Monday the district hosted the annual calendar hearing at our March School Board meeting. We had one citizen show up to share their thoughts on the district calendar. Prior to the district calendar hearing, multiple drafts were presented to the Central staff. The staff met to discuss the drafts and a survey was sent out to get feedback as we worked to narrow the three drafts down to one. In that draft the staff shared they preferred to have the Monday after Easter off over Good Friday and new this year was building in a spring break. The School Board decided to table the calendar vote and instructed administration to seek more feedback from our staff. Tonight, two calendar options will be presented to the school board. One option has Central going to school on Good Friday and getting out of school at 1:45 pm. with the Monday after Easter off. The other option has no school on Good Friday and a professional development (no school) on the Monday after Easter. No decision has been made to have school on Good Friday. The intent of having Monday after Easter off is to accomodate families who may have to travel for Easter celebrations.
