Central Public Schools - Education Is Central

Following dismissal today, a water pipe burst at the elementary school in the boiler room. The NYA Fire Department and Carver County Sheriff's Office responded to the alarm that was triggered. Everyone is ok, however we are assessing the damage, the availability of heat and water for tomorrow, and any other damage caused by this. I am messaging you now to say there is a possibility that we may have to cancel school for 2.17.21 at the elementary school only. All evening activities at the elementary school, including ECFE and 5th grade boys basketball, are cancelled for tonight. I will update you on the status of school tomorrow by 10pm tonight when I know more. There is a possibility we will be calling an "e-Learning" day. Kids Company families are encouraged to come pick-up their children as soon as possible as we do not have usable bathrooms at this time. Tim Schochenmaier Superintendent

Congratulations to Peyton Tietz and Hailey Buckentin for their 3rd place finish in Duo at our (Virtual) Albany Speech Meet on Saturday! Like everything this year, speech looks a little different. We are actually competing entirely virtually through a dedicated platform that looks a lot like zoom. The students are presenting their pieces to the judge in much the same way that teachers are presenting to their classes to the virtual students. What that looks like on the backside--as long as we have students in school, we will be bringing our team to school on Saturdays. We just won't travel anywhere. Students will hang out (socially distanced and masked of course) which will give them some of the social aspects of speech. Then each student will go to an individual classroom in our high school to compete. Each student will be assigned a classroom, for several equity reasons, and also if they are alone in the room, they will be able to take their mask off for the duration of their performance.
