Many have inquired about retrieving items from lockers that didn't make it home prior to the shutdown. At this time, we must keep the building closed. As soon as the Governor relaxes the "stay home" order, we'll structure a safe plan for locker clean-out/item retrieval.
Teachers have put together a Spirit Week to make this week of the shutdown a little extra fun and special. Please see details under the News section. Share your photos throughout the week! Enjoy!
Please see recently added information regarding ideas for exercise and nutrition under the News section of Central's site. Stay healthy and well!
