Important Information
Central is a Title-I School. Parents of students in Title 1 schools have the right to know the status of their child’s teacher(s) in relation to being Highly Qualified.
Office Hours
Central's office hours are 7:00 – 3:00. No one is available to receive calls before or after this time. If you have an emergency after 3:00, please call the district's switchboard at 478-765-8711.
Parent Visitation Policy
State law requires that all persons visiting the school at any time and for any reason MUST report to the office to receive a visitors’ pass before entering a classroom. Visitors are required to show identification to the office staff. This is not to discourage visitation, but is a safety measure. Forgotten books, assignments, lunches, etc., may be left at the office for delivery to the classroom. If you desire to visit a classroom, we ask that you notify us 24 hours in advance, so that arrangements can be made with staff. All classroom visitors must be escorted by a school staff member.
Final Exams
Bookbags
Students are not allowed to bring any type large bag for the remainder of the school year. Though we communicated this previously, we are still having students bring bags to school. Any bag brought into the building Thursday or Friday will not be returned to students this week, unless a parent comes to the school to pick it up.
Graduation Information
Graduation from high school is a milestone for students and their families and is a celebratory, yet dignified event. Because the graduation is special, everyone should respect the dignity of the ceremony with decorum, proper attire and appropriate applause.
Seniors were provided with guidelines for graduation by the senior sponsors. The link below will allow you to access a PDF version of the guidelines. A copy of the guidelines is also provided below.

PBIS Field Day
We will have our first PBIS Field Day Friday. Students have been aware of the expectations for participating in Field Day since the idea was formulated. Students that are not eligible to attend will be assigned to a classroom with a designated teacher. Students that fail to comply with this directive will be subject to administrative consequences at the beginning of the 2017-18 school year.
Please know that students are required to be in dress code Friday. Additionally, water balloons and water guns are not allowed on campus. Any students with those items will be administered consequences at the beginning of the 2017-18 school year. We truly want this to be a celebration of the students who have displayed Readiness, Responsibility, and Respect throughout the year. Please continue to stress the importance of these character qualities with your children.
