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 48 hours in advance, so that arrangements can be made with staff. All classroom visitors must be escorted by a school staff member.
Schedule Change Requests
A certain numbers of courses are scheduled at each grade level, and when they are full we have to move to the next option. We do our best to ensure that all students are scheduled for at least one of the elective classes for which they preregistered, and more if possible. The counselors do their absolute best to figure out how to make it work, but every class change has a consequence on another class, which may already be at or near capacity. At this point, we will only be changing schedules for students who have schedule errors, or need a change to ensure that they are on track for graduation or to complete a pathway. We ask that you work with us to continue to make this a successful school year.
Student Handbook
If you do not have a way to access the Handbook electronically, please stop by the school to obtain a copy.
