Welcome
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!
Central Public School is an amazing place to learn and grow. We are constantly learning as a staff and are focusing on the best ways to provide academic instruction and social-emotional self-awareness skills for our students. In addition, we strive to make every student feel that they are safe, included and a valued part of the Central community.
The Central staff is committed to each student as a whole child. We have high expectations for your child(ren) and will plan, teach and assess in order that each of them can meet with success. Staff give freely outside of their roles as teachers to offer a range of extra-curricular opportunities.
Our Mission Statement reflects our beliefs and goals:
At Central School, our quest is to support students in setting personal goals, and to encourage and inspire them to work diligently to reach their full potential.
We believe we make a difference in students’ lives by fostering independence, problem solving, creativity and character development in a positive and safe learning environment.
We encourage our families to get involved. We want our parents/guardians to always feel welcome and know that we are committed to providing a quality education for all children. Communication between home and school is an integral part of every child’s education. The staff at Central Public School strive to create an encouraging and positive learning environment.
