SchoolGo Eagles!!!2016-2017
Notes From Mrs. MizellDear Parents,
On behalf of the teachers and staff of the Central Elementary School (CES), I would like to welcome you. We have lots of happenings going on at Central. Our PTA ladies are busy with our membership drive and t-shirt sales. Reading & Writing Assessments are being given as well as math screeners. Children are settling into routines both at home and at school. Reading each night makes a difference in school performance. Stay informed of Central’s events by following us on Twitter and/or like us on Facebook. As I continue as principal at Central Elementary, I will work diligently with parents and faculty to foster an atmosphere that promotes a learning community that is child centered. Working as a team we will move forward in our mission to create a warm, caring, disciplined, and challenging environment in which all students can learn and reach their highest potential becoming responsible members of society. Although we strongly believe in academic excellence, we also feel that learning must be fun and rewarding for each child. By working together, students, parents/guardians, and staff can make Central Elementary School an exciting and enjoyable place to learn. I am blessed to work with the Central staff, families, and community.
Reaching New Heights-Soaring to Excellence Sincerely,
Cindy Mizell
