FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S CORNER:

Dear Central Elementary Friends and Families,Jason Surian - Principal

Another year is upon us at Central Elementary and we are looking forward to working with you in a partnership to provide the best education for our children.

Central Elementary is home to 406 young five through fifth grade students. Our educational programming uses research based practices and curriculum to assist all learners, focused instruction in language arts and mathematics, and common planning time for teachers at all grade levels to design, deliver, and assess a comprehensive, yet differentiated learning environment for all students. Each week our children have the opportunity to participate in physical education, music, computer instruction, library, art, and for our fifth grade students Spanish. Our well-rounded curriculum allows for students to accelerate in areas of interest and our teaching faculty encourages and facilitates exploration and mastery learning for all.

At Central Elementary we teach our children building expectations.

I Will Respect Myself. I Will Respect Others. I Will Respect my School.

These expectations are explicitly taught, modeled, and evaluated throughout the school year to ensure that we are holding ourselves up to our established building expectations, building our great learning community one step at a time.

We are looking forward to an amazing year ahead at Central Elementary. If you have any questions about our school, the instruction, or would like to schedule a tour to see the difference that is Central Elementary, please contact our elementary office at 269-323-6100. As always it’s a great day to be a Central Elementary Comet!

Best Wishes for a great year ahead,

Jason Surian

Principal
