Dear Central Families,
Welcome students and families! The 2023-24 school year is here! We are so excited to see your sons and daughters- they make Central an exciting and special place! We are glad you have chosen to be a part of Central’s academic excellence established by incredible faculty, staff, and students. We are excited about the new opportunities for your son/daughter to be involved in continuing Central’s extraordinary legacy while building their own.
Parents- Please take time to read the attendance policies below.
Block- We are on a block schedule this year. This means classes are 88 minutes and we will have "A" days and "B" days- much like a college schedule. August 14th - 18th "A" & "B" and Wednesday August 16th is an "A" day. The A/B schedule found later in the SMORE.
Wednesday alternates each week between "A" days and "B" days. As with last year- Wednesday's are our Collaborative Team Meetings (CTM) and a early release. All Central Bell schedules are posted below as well.

Have a great week!
