Central Public Schools - Education Is Central

Good Evening Central Schools, Another winter greetings to each of you! This is just a friendly reminder that the entire Central Public Schools attendance area is in a wind chill advisory until 10AM tomorrow. Please ensure your children have on layers and all exposed skin is covered as they head out the door tomorrow for the bus stops. Bus routes ran about 5 minutes slow this afternoon, so please take that into consideration in the morning. In partnership, Tim Schochenmaier Superintendent
