💬 Message from Dr. Proffitt 💬

Dear Central Elementary Families,

 As we continue through January and look ahead to the coming months, I am excited about the many opportunities for learning and growth that await our students. The inclement weather we experienced in January and into February has been challenging, but I hope to see our students back in school very soon. Our dedicated staff is working hard to provide engaging instruction and meaningful experiences every day. Please take note of the important schedule updates and upcoming events outlined in this newsletter, particularly that Tuesday, February 17th is a regular instructional day for students. We appreciate your continued partnership and support as we work together to ensure every child's success. Thank you for being part of the Central Elementary family! 

— Dr. Proffitt, Principal
