Message From Central Road School

Mrs. Joanna Shostachuk, School Principal

A Note from Mrs. Shostachuk 08/07/2022

Dear Central Road Families:

I had originally crafted this newsletter as an exciting "Welcome Back" message as the start of a new year is right around the corner. As I send this message now, I continue to grieve the loss of six members of our D15 community-three of them being precious members of our Central Road family. My heart aches for our students, staff, and CR community. Mrs. Green and I can assure you that the well-being and safety of our staff and students is our highest priority and urge you to reach out if there is anything we can do to support you and your child(ren). We are here for you and your children.


As the new school year is upon us, I would like to welcome everyone to the 2022-2023 school year. Whether you are a returning family or a new one to Central Road, we welcome you. I enter the 2022-2023 school with hope and optimism for a positive year for all. Mrs. Green and I look forward to continuing our work with your families and our staff for the good of our school community. We thank you all in advance for your flexibility, patience, and partnership. Our door(s) continue to always be open to listen and work together.


Warmly,

Joanna Shostachuk

Breakfast and Lunch Information

Both breakfast and lunch will be provided to all students at Central Road School who would like to eat the food served each day. Students at CR are offered FREE breakfast and lunch daily starting the first day of school as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, funded by the federal government. Students may bring a lunch from home if they prefer to do so.


What does this mean for families attending the CEP school like Central Road?

Again, all enrolled students will receive a free breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household. Your child(ren) will be able to participate without having to pay a fee, but we ask that you still complete the Fee Waiver form here (Spanish form) to determine if your family qualifies for other financial assistance such as school fees, athletic, and activity fee waivers. Again, completing the application is still necessary for other programs and assists with funding for educational programs in District 15.

Information from our Nutritional Services Department may be found HERE for your review.

Infinite Campus Parent Portal

Infinite Campus' Campus Parent is designed to provide parents real-time access to student information. The easy-to-use design displays what is currently happening in the classroom so you can understand, monitor, and participate in your child’s educational experience.


This portal also provides parents access to check for teacher placement and student schedules once their student is registered. District 15 has also used IC to gather parent survey responses. Make sure you have your account set up for the new school year! To learn how to set up your account, watch tutorials, or access a help center, please visit our website.

Re-registration Reminder - EVERYONE Must Re-Register

If you have already registered your child for the 2022-23 school year, thank you - your child has been sectioned into a classroom at the elementary level.

If you have not registered, please do so today. Please kindly do your part as a parent/guardian and register your children for the 2022-23 school year. Not returning? Have you notified your school?

Reminder: Residency Verification (new students and kindergarten) and Re-Verification (Grades 4 and 7)

We want to remind our families with incoming Kindergarten, rising fourth, and seventh graders of our residency verification process. If you have not yet provided proof of residency at our child(ren)’s school, please do so as soon as possible so your child(ren) is able to start school on the first day of school.
