Hello Central Families,
This month we are learning to care for our Mental Health by Painting Kenowa Green. Paint Kenowa Green is our Mental Health Awareness Initiative that we run through the month of February. We chose green because the green ribbon is the international symbol for mental health awareness. During this month, we aim to start meaningful conversations about mental health, reduce stigma, and provide support for those who may be struggling.
Through various activities and events, we encourage students, staff, and the community to engage in conversations, raise awareness, and promote mental well-being for everyone. Together, we can create a more understanding and supportive environment for all. Let's Paint Kenowa Green and spread the message of hope and support!
This past week we focused on Collaboration and Team-Work.

Hello Central Families,
Please keep your student home for fevers, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. Please contact the office at (616) 453-6351 option 1 with the reason for your students' absence so we 1) know they are accounted for and 2) can monitor communicable diseases in the school. A doctor's note is also very helpful whenever your student misses school for an appointment. This will allow us to code the absence as Medical so it doesn't "count" against the attendance record.
Call or email our office if you have questions.

Hello Central Families,
Wow! I am once again humbled by our generous school family! Thank you for attending conferences and teaming up with us to help your students succeed. Thank you for feeding our staff during long conference nights. Thank you for volunteering your time at the bookfair. Thank you for your incredibly generous donations to our "share the bookfair" campaign. I was inspired by every gesture. Thank you!
And now it's time to look ahead to next week; picture retakes and Halloween! We will once again (weather permitting) hold a Costume Parade here at Central. The parade will form along the front sidewalks and begins at 3:00 on Thursday, October 31st. Due to this very exciting and very well-attended event we will not be able to accomodate early pick ups after 2:30 pm on Halloween. Please plan ahead. You can read more about our Halloween procedures below.
Call or email our office if you have questions.

TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
