PRINCIPAL

JIM HECOCKS“Central Elementary develops knowledgeable, caring and open-minded individuals who engage in inquiry-based learning, while promoting respect in order to become contributing citizens in a global society”

FOCUS PROGRAMINTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE

Being a student in an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School means learning about and taking action in our world. Our students become internationally-minded and exemplify a specific set of traits.

Our students are inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risk-takers, knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, balanced, and reflective. These are all qualities of internationalism, which characterize our students in a global, complex, and rapidly changing world. “It’s exciting for our students

to have a say in what they learn. It’s reflected in their enthusiasm during lessons.”

OUR STAFFThe 26 teachers of Central Elementary have over 450 years of combined teaching experience. 21 teachers hold advanced degrees. Principal Hecocks has over 38 years experience in education; 17 of those years as an elementary school teacher.

The 24 support staff assist in various capacities to ensure our students’ learning environment is safe, orderly, and focused on learning: the office staff, media specialist, instructional assistants, kitchen staff, and custodial staff.

TECHNOLOGYCentral Elementary received a technology update during the summer of 2014. Every classroom has a ceiling-mounted projector, document camera, sound system and microphone that interface with teachers’ computers and laptops.

This technology enables our students to have access to interactive and real-time learning experiences that bring the world into their classrooms.

ENRICHMENT CLASSES

PARENT INVOLVEMENTThe Central PTO is a highly active organization whose focus is to provide material and human resources to support the instructional program of Central Elementary. Numerous events are sponsored throughout the year.

Parents are encouraged to volunteer their time to share their expertise, talents, or interests to enhance the education of our students.

A variety of affordable fee-based classes are held after school on a regular basis to provide more opportunities for our students to explore new learning, including Choir, Juggling, Pottery, Bee keeping, Robotics, LEGO building, Bolder Boulder and 100-mile Running Clubs, Soccer, and Zumba.
