Paraprofessional Assignments
We hope to have paraprofessional assignments finalized before the end of the school year. Paraprofessional assignments will be based on student needs and paraprofessional strengths.
As we continue this conversation, it will be helpful for us to know paraprofessionals' plans for next school year. Please complete this form to share your intentions for next school year.
If you have questions, please communicate with Dr. Dunnan or Mrs. Bush.
Help with Moving
If you are a teacher moving classrooms, please click here if you are interested in getting some assistance in this process. Our eighth grade teachers have volunteered to help in classrooms or supervise students to help you through the moving process!
District-Purchased Materials
All materials purchased with district funds (PTO reimbursement, purchase orders, Gala grants, etc.) should be left in your current classroom if you are not returning to Central next school year. Please box these items, and write your name and current position on the box. Boxes will be located in the atrium.
ALICE Update
Kristy Seckler is currently working on an age-appropriate presentation that you should go over with your students prior to the end of the year. In addition, each team will get a copy of the book I'm Not Scared...I'm Prepared to share amongst grade levels. As soon as the presentation is complete, we will let you know so you may start sharing with students!

CPI Training Update
I know that many of your cards have an expiration date of June 2019. I checked with Amber about this, and she told me that the CPI cards are good for two years from the training date. The CPI trainers are instructed to write June on the CPI cards to ensure individuals' cards don't expire prior to the start of the school year. If you were trained after August 2017, a refresher course is appropriate.
Stay tuned for details on the training.

Hive Summit Honey Drop
Here is the message I received from Mr. Matera:
Ok guys, this is really cool.
I was thinking about ways we can create a buzz about learning and attending The Hive Summit when it is so many months away. That is when I came up with the idea for Hive Honey Drops.
Each drop will include a video from the past summit, additional PD videos to push us even more, and exclusive resources, content, and offers.
The only catch is that each Hive Honey Drops page will only work for a limited time.
How it works: Each email will have a Hive Honey Drop section where you will get a link to the drop. Follow the link and enter the secret password.
