The staff at Central Elementary welcomes you and your family to the 2024-2025 school year. We are committed to doing all we can to make this school year a successful experience for every student. We firmly believe that a home/school partnership is necessary for the success of all our students. Learning involves hard work by the teacher, the parent, the student, and the principal. 
 
At Central, we value and challenge each student and provide opportunities for success. Instruction is based on the Indiana Academic Standards. We are constantly employing research-based student-centered programs and instruction strategies to facilitate the highest level of student achievement.
 
Research and experience shows us that parent/guardian involvement is a child's education is directly related to his/her success in school To maximize your child's success, emphasize the importance of education through the following:
 
Ensure that your child is at school on time each day.
Attend parent/teacher conferences and school events.
Monitor your child's homework and progress regularly.
Expect and support positive behavior at school.
Read with your child or encourage your child to read daily.
 
 
I look forward to partnering with you to make this an exciting year for our students.  Thank you in advance for your support and commitment. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office (219) 763-8015
