Student Handbook
“Dear Parents,
Effective learning requires a team approach. Every member of the team—the student, the parent, and
the teacher—must be fully equipped to set forth and reach educational goals.
All students can learn, but not all understand that “If I plan to learn…I must learn to plan”. This concept
of planning to learn is one that Central. Elementary School is emphasizing. To challenge and improve,
students will be taught to plan and organize.
Our Student Handbook is an organizational tool that will assist students on their way to success. For this
program to work, all partners need to be involved. The old saying, “It takes a whole village to raise a
child” illustrates that it is an atmosphere of cooperative learning—where the school, the parents, and
community interact together in a supportive way that learning goals and objectives will be best met.
We are looking forward to an exciting and successful school year. We have prepared this handbook so
that we may bring about a better understanding between the school and parents/students. We ask for
your cooperation so that we may provide your child with a rewarding and enriching educational
experience. Please take time to read this handbook thoroughly.
This handbook is a method of communication between the school and home. This student handbook is
also designed to provide a quick reference for basic information that you and your child will need during
the school year.
To some people, good organizational skills come naturally. Many of us, however, find ourselves
struggling to manage our affairs and complete our tasks. Establishing good routines involves selfdiscipline
and hard work. Central Elementary School supports this process by providing Student
Handbooks to our students.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

PARENTS On behalf of the faculty and staff, I would like to extend an invitation for you to visit our school, attend your child's programs, and initiate conferences with your child’s teacher, the counselor, or the principal whenever you feel it is necessary. We are very happy to have you and your child in Central School. Parental Rights You may have your child “opt out” of participating in surveys, displaying of child’s work or photographs on school websites or publications.

You may request that your child not participate in activities including saying pledges to flags due to religious beliefs.
