Happy Halloween Central Square!!!

School Board Recognition Week

Last week was the New York State School Boards Association sponsored School Board Recognition Week, and as always, our fantastic art teacher from PVM High School, Mrs. Staats organized this truly special event.  Students from various grade levels across the District presented Board Members with a special piece of art work at our Board of Education meeting on Monday, October 23.  This is always a very special time at Central Square because it is yet another opportunity to showcase our talented students' work.  We are so very proud of our fine arts department at Central Square and we will never leave out the 'A' in STEAM, as we feel that while Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, play key roles in preparing our students for success in the 21st Century, we also feel that the Arts play a significant role as well.

College and Career Readiness Committee

After blasting out an informational/invitation link to all staff members across the District last week, I have already received 36 interested staff members, which is wonderful because of the nature and goal of this particular committee. This week we will be sending out an email blast including the Google Form link to all parents/community members that have signed up to receive Central Square alerts via text message, or both.  If you have yet to sign up and would like to receive mass notification alerts throughout the year, click HERE and complete the required information (It is super easy and quick).
