We are in the process of preparing classes for the 2022-2023 school year. Our goal is to create classes that are balanced based on student strengths and needs. Report card grades, teacher input, parent input and state test scores are used to assure that we are creating balanced classes.

In addition, we look to shuffle classes from one grade level to the next to assure that students continually have an opportunity to work with new students. Central teachers will review each class list thoroughly and will carefully consider how students work together and we will make adjustments to the class lists.

As we start the student placement process, we welcome parent input into this process. If there are specific needs or past history that should be considered and may contribute to the success of your student, we want to consider that information in the placement process. Our goal is to create the most balanced classes as possible while meeting student needs and will take all input into consideration. Please return your input letter no later than Friday, April 29.

Monday, April 25 is our Central Emerson Tiger Fun Run and our students and staff are so excited! We’re looking forward to having fun and building community together.

Please have your child wear tennis shoes and a coat or sweatshirt they can run in. We will be running outside rain or shine!

Our parking lot has two spaces designated for disabled parking for those individuals who have the state-issued disabled parking permit. Please do not park there if you do not have that designation as we have families who use it regularly. Our parking lot is designated for staff and busses only, with the exception being those individuals with a disabled parking permit. Thank you.

So that we can better plan student transportation needs and routes/schedules for the 2022—2023 school year, we have implemented an online Student Transportation Input Form at www.sno.wednet.edu/ridethebus. Between now and through early summer, we are asking all parents/guardians of 2022-2023 students to please complete this form. The form only needs to be completed once per student.

Online registration is now available for next school year at the Snohomish School District website. Please plan to register soon as it helps with our planning for the 2022-2023 school year.
