At Central, the safety and well-being of our students is always a priority. We are excited to welcome FBI Special Agent Jake Griffin to Central Intermediate School on Thursday, December 3, at 6:30 PM for an important conversation about keeping our children safe.
This presentation, designed for parents and guardians of K–12 students, will focus on preventing Nihilistic Violent Extremism, including early warning signs, online safety, open communication at home, and ways we can work together as a community to support our children.
We know this is a busy time of year for families, but we hope you will make time to join us for this important opportunity to learn, ask questions, and better understand how we can help keep our kids safe.
We welcome Central families and families throughout the Washington community!

🎬 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!
