Welcome, Central families
The PTA brings to life joyful traditions, student enrichment experiences, community-building events, and teacher appreciation efforts, so everyone loves to be here.
About your PTA
The Central Parent Teacher Association provides support and resources for our entire school community. Together, we fund cultural activities, community-building events and unique learning opportunities for students, families, teachers and staff.
There’s a place for everyone here—whether you have an hour, a day, or a role to contribute, we would love to include you.

The quick version of this week’s Tiger Talk—dates, reminders and what families need to do.
Come watch the children march! The front circle closes to traffic at 2:05 PM, so allow time to park legally and walk to the viewing area. Spectators may stand around the circle, along the sidewalks or on the field behind the blacktop fence. Students will be dismissed at 3:00 PM from their regular spots.
Bring extra Halloween candy to the flagpole during morning drop-off. The collection will be donated to Ronald McDonald House.
There is no school Tuesday, November 3 for Superintendent’s Conference Day or Wednesday, November 11 in observance of Veterans Day.
Central dismisses at 11:00 AM on both conference days. Be sure to schedule your time slot directly with your child’s teacher.
Central will collect Thanksgiving dinner items for nearly 75 families in our immediate community. Each grade will receive an assigned item, and families may also make cards or decorations. Watch for grade assignments after Halloween.
Help the PTA Yearbook Committee capture the 2026–27 school year by uploading your favorite photos from school and PTA events.
Central’s new state-of-the-art kitchen opened this week, and students are now enjoying meals prepared on-site in the new space.
Thanks to the PTA Student Enrichment Fund, LMC Media brought its Sesame Street–style puppets to CPK and kindergarten classrooms for a lesson about kindness, friendship and genuine compliments. The puppets will return twice more this year.
