Central School District 51

Upcoming Events for November 2-7

Our CIS office crew added barista duties yesterday! Considering our frequent Faire Coffee runs, we’d say these costumes were a matcha made in heaven! 🤣☕💙 Wishing all of our Central Trojans and their families a safe, fun Halloween! 👻

7/8 Cross Cat made Halloween Chocolate Covered Pretzels! 🥨 Thanks, Ms. Webb and Mrs. Bennett, for leading these fun activities! 💙 #BetterBecauseYoureHere

🎬 Our 6th graders enjoyed a special field trip to the movie theater to watch Wonder after reading the book in class! They earned an A+ for representing Central! 💙 Our students picked up after themselves, showed respect, and were genuinely appreciative of the opportunity! A HUGE thank you to our 6th grade team for planning this WONDERful experience! #BetterBecauseYoureHere! 💙

💙🌟 TWO SCHOOLS. ONE INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY. BOTH EXEMPLARY! 🌟💙

We are incredibly proud to share that Central Primary School and Central Intermediate School have BOTH earned an EXEMPLARY designation through the Illinois State Board of Education's (ISBE) 2026 Profile of Performance!

This recognition reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our entire school community. It takes EVERYONE! Our students, teachers, support staff, families, and community members all play an important role in making Central a place where students learn, grow, and succeed.

We are so proud of this accomplishment and grateful for everyone who makes Central such a special place!

💙 BETTER BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE! 💙
