Central Community,
This past week the school board met to review new recommendations from the Central Return To Learn Committee and guidance from the IDPH. Under the new guidance, if students are wearing a mask they would no longer have to be sent home on quarantine if they are exposed to a positive case. Our goal from Day #1 is to stay in school and keep our kids here. Starting on Monday, October 12 all students, staff, and visitors to Central facilities will be expected to wear a mask to help us continue with that goal. Please no longer send your child with just a gator or face shield. If you do not have a face mask at home, teachers will have extras in their classrooms to provide students.
We sincerely appreciate all the support we have received in this ever-changing environment.

Friendly reminder that a face covering is expected to be worn if 6' social distancing can't be maintained at tonight's Volleyball match. Students in the student section are expected to wear a face covering. This is due to recent guidance from the IDPH stating if all parties are wearing a face covering they will not have to quarantine. Thank you for supporting us and helping keeping our kids in school.

Central Community,
This past week the IDPH released guidance that states if face coverings are correctly worn by all parties then we will not have to send students home for the 14-day quarantine. Central's return to learn plan states face coverings are expected when 6' social distancing can't be maintained. Today during our full staff PD everyone agreed we needed to be consistent with following our plan as we do not want to send kids home, WE WANT THEM HERE!!
Starting Monday the following expectations will be followed when not properly wearing a face covering:
1) Teachable moment: First couple times of talking to a student or a time where a student just simply forgot.
2) 1st Offense: Defiant when asked to put a face covering on. You have talked to the student multiple times about the face covering. 1st offense should be recorded as a minor referral.
3) 2nd Offense: Defiance continues and you have already recorded a minor referral. Student should be sent to the office and it should be recorded as a major. Office will contact parents.
4) 3rd Offense: Parent meeting and student is placed on remote learning for 2-weeks.
5) 4th Offense: Parent meeting and student is placed on remote learning for the remainder of the school year.
It isn't our goal to punish students for not wearing a face covering. I understand we all have different beliefs on this. With the new guidance it is my goal to keep all students and staff here. Thank you for your partnership and support in this.
Sincerely,
Mr. Trenkamp
