Central Elementary School

We had a great morning here at C.E.S.! Our Student Lighthouse Team met with our Leader in Me coach this morning to review our latest MRA survey data. It was amazing to watch these young leaders analyze the results and take ownership of our school’s future. Their hard work is a shining example of the pride we take in our school and our community! (Central Elementary - A Leader in Me Lighthouse School!)

CES will begin our end of year assessments soon. First Grade will begin on May 8th and all other grades will begin on May 11th. Please watch for notices from teachers about testing. Also, all grades participate in tests that require them to listen, so ask your child about their headphones.

🏆 March LiveSchool Winner Announcement! 🏆 Every day at CES, our students are showing what it means to lead with character—and this month, one student stood out in a BIG way! 👏 Congratulations to Madeline White, our March LiveSchool Winner, for consistently demonstrating positive behavior, leadership, and Eagle pride!

April C.E.S. Family Time - "Everyone Can Be a Leader!"

This is our lunch menu for next week!!

🦅 CES Staff Spotlight of the Week 🦅 This week, our Student Lighthouse Team proudly selected our School Resource Officer, Zach Stapleton, as our Staff Spotlight—and their reasons say it best. Zach makes our students feel safe every single day. He helps them calm down when they’re upset. He checks doors, patrols our building, and keeps a constant watch to make sure our school is secure. But even more than that… he listens. To our students, he’s not just an officer—he’s someone they trust. Someone they can talk to. Someone who shows up for them. That’s what makes Central special. It’s the people. Zach, thank you for protecting, serving, and loving our kids so well. We are blessed to have you at CES! 🖤💛
