Central Community Elementary School

We are experiencing a water issue at CCES. Students and staff have access to bottled water for drinking and we are managing the toilet facilities flushing when we have recovered enough water to do so. We have plenty of hand sanitizer available. We plan to dismiss at our regular time and will work to have the issue resolved in time for school to resume on Monday.

We have received notification of one additional positive pool at CCES from our pool testing on Tuesday. However, secondary tests did not reveal a positive individual. We will continue to test this pool until we find the positive or our testing schedule catches up to next Tuesday. All parents of the students in this pool have been notified.

All of the pool testing results are back from Central High School. With 129 students and staff being tested, only one positive pool was identified. This positive case was already reported to the public earlier today.

All of the pool testing results are back for Central Middle School. With 120 students and staff participating there are NO positive pools identified.

Good Morning! We are all anxious to receive the results of the pool testing round completed yesterday. We have not yet received our results but will communicate with you once we do. With more schools participating and labs overrun with testing we may not get our results until tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.

We would like to remind families that are picking up their children during dismissal to remain in their vehicles and to be cautious of their speed in the parent pick up loop. Young students may not be aware of moving vehicles in the pick up loop or in the main parking lot. We want to make sure everyone makes it home safely.

Coming home with students today are several important forms. Although breakfast and lunch are free for all students this year, the District still needs you to complete the meal application.
