Central Community,
Thank you for all of your support of our home events! We have a lot of events throughout the year and wanted to update you on admission prices for our athletic events this year. Admission is our primary source of revenue to pay our expenses. As expenses go up, our revenue must do the same.
When reading the updates below, remember that all Central students have a free activity pass (paid for with the cupcake fundraiser), and students not yet school age are free as well. Adults can purchase an Activities Pass for $65, and Central Community members (and non-Central grandparents) that are 65-years old or older can get an Activity Pass for free from the District Office.
Junior High events - Admission for all Junior High events will be $5 per person for Central events. At away games this may vary as each school does this differently.
High School events - Admission for all High School events will be $6 per person for Central events. At away games you can anticipate $5 or $6 for most of our opponents. Some schools in Iowa charge as much as $8 per game. Central's increase from $5 to $6 comes from the increased rate for our officials. Next year we anticipate officials pay going up again, which may come with an increase in admission.
Football - Football admission is set by our football district. In May our district voted to charge $5 per game. All of Central's home football games will be $5 for the 2023 season.
Postseason - Postseason admission prices and all other regulations (such as online payments) are set by the governing body. For athletics this means the IGHSAU (girls) or the IHSAA (boys).
Upper Iowa Conference events - Admission for UIC events, such as the UIC Track & Field Meets or Wrestling Tournaments, is set by the UIC Superintendents.
Thank you again for your continued support of Central activities. See you at the game!
Congratulations to these Worthy Warriors for the week of September 11-15. Keep up the great work! 🥳👍🥳

Third graders enjoyed their time at Plagman Barn today. They made butter in a jar, stirred apple butter, made ropes, watched a sheep get sheared, and even went to a one room schoolhouse. It was a fun day!

Seniors and their parents:
As you know the FAFSA process has been changed this year. We have included two websites that will be helpful to you in making your FSA ID number prior to the opening of the FAFSA in December.
One site is a worksheet to help you fill out your FSA ID number: https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.ncan.org/resource/resmgr/better_fafsa/training_toolkit/uaspire_fsa_id_how_to_guide_.pdf.
The second site allows you to join a live webinar to help you and your parent to set up their FSA ID number: https://www.icansucceed.org/ontrack. Once on this webpage scroll down to Senior FSA ID workshop. You do not need to register for the webinar. Just join on the day and time that works best for you.
As more information is shared with school counselors about the new FAFSA process, the information will be shared out to you. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Angela Bergan, anbergan@central.k12.ia.us
We are officially one week away from the Homecoming 2023 Parade! The parade will begin at the Elkader Town Team fields at 5:30 PM and end at the Athletic Complex!
High Street will be closed to traffic at 5:20 PM. We ask that you arrive prior to 5:20 and park at the Jack Dittmer Athletic Complex or the Swimming Pool parking lot. If you arrive after 5:20 PM you will have to park elsewhere and walk in to see the parade.
Please note the parade will go by the Athletic Complex twice. We recommend waiting for the parade to come back from Deer Run so you can see both sides of the floats. Once the parade has entered the Athletic Complex you can walk in to enjoy the festivities!
