Message From the principal
Dear Central Families,
It is with a grateful and heavy heart that I write my last principal message to you. As most of you know, I am leaving at the end of the year to re-locate to the Spokane area to be closer to family. After spending 18 years serving as the principal of Central Primary I have so many amazing memories working with our community. Thank you to all of you for your incredible support over the years, but for the last two years in particular. None of us could have known the impact a pandemic would have on schools and with our young learners, together we successfully handled one challenge after another. Your constant care for our school community and adherence to the state and county health recommendations helped us to navigate our way back to in-person school, thank you.
I will carry the names and faces of all the incredible students who have come through Central Primary. I am so proud of the hard work, laughter and positive relationships that have built this community. As a staff we have worked hard and created something very special. All of the teachers and staff members have contributed to this school which holds high expectations for all students while providing a caring and supportive place to learn and grow. Our staff is simply the best, the best at taking care of young children and developing a love and curiosity for learning from within. To all the adults who have worked at Central Primary, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
And to the students, you are my heroes. You have worked hard and brought your best selves every day. We show up every day because of you. We are proud of you and send you off with our very best wishes for an amazing future of following your dreams, thank you.
With much love and big hugs, I wish you all the very best!

Make Sure your child's immunizations are up to date!
It is important to make sure your child goes to their regularly scheduled wellness appointments, which often include immunizations. The summer months are a great time to get your child caught up with immunization requirements before the 2022-2023 school year. Schedule your appointments early, as health care providers’ schedules quickly fill up in August and September. Make sure to turn in your updated immunization paperwork to the school by Wednesday, September 7.
This reminder is especially important if your child is transitioning to preschool, kindergarten, or 7h grade, as each of these grades has additional immunization requirements.
Every student enrolled/registered in school or childcare in the state of Washington must have medically verified up-to-date immunization records on file with the school in which they are enrolled/registering before the first day of school 2022-2023. Medically verified immunization records include one or more of the following:

FAQs
If I am approved for ACP and currently on an internet service plan with a provider, can I switch to a different internet service plan of that provider, including to that provider’s low-cost plan, and receive the ACP benefit?
- Yes. The ACP benefit can be applied to any internet service offering, and providers cannot restrict you from switching service offerings or subject you to mandatory waiting periods. Sometimes providers prohibit existing customers from switching to low-cost internet service plans; however, consumers receiving the ACP benefit are not subject to these “existing customer” restrictions.
What happens if my provider has eligibility requirements for an internet service plan that conflict with ACP rules? (e.g. My provider requires that I pay off my past debts before signing up for XYZ internet service plan)
- ACP rules override the rules of participating providers in the context of an ACP consumer. For instance, a provider may generally require that consumers pay off past or present debts before signing up for XYZ internet service plan. However, consumers who are approved to receive ACP benefits are not subject to that requirement (since the ACP rules prohibit providers from declining to enroll ACP consumers based on past or present debts).
Note: The ACP rules clearly allow ACP consumers to apply their benefit to any internet service offering that is generally available (i.e. not a grandfathered/legacy plan) and prohibit mandatory waiting periods (47 CFR 54.1808(e)(6)(iii)) and restrictions on switching plans (Para. 166 of the Report and Order).
Attendance
If a student is going to be absent or tardy from school, the parent needs to call the school’s absentee message line, 360-563-4602, or email cpc-attendance@sno.wednet.edu, before 8:15 a.m. in the morning. Messages may be left on this message line at any time night or day. If we have not heard from you, we will attempt to call you to verify your student’s safety. For safety reasons, no student may leave the school campus during the school day without being signed out in person by his/her guardian or a designated adult.
According to Snohomish School District policy, absences due to illness or a health condition; a religious observance when requested by the student’s parents; a school approved activity; a family emergency; a school disciplinary action or short-term suspension as required by state law, are excused.
