Central SD 51 will be releasing students early today due to the expected severe weather for this afternoon. The forecast is calling for some very severe weather conditions and there are many members of our community expressing their anxiety tied to their experiences during the 2013 tornado. Though we normally would not consider an early dismissal for this type of event, today is unique and the four local school districts are in agreement that this decision will best serve the needs of our community.
Reach will be open for regularly attending after-school students. They do ask that you pick up your child as soon as possible.
Please have a safe and enjoyable spring break!

Continuous Improvement-
Central 51 has been awarded a $50,000 matching School Maintenance Grant through ISBE. Superintendent Heidbreder applied for the grant to finish the ceiling tile at CIS and to add fobs to the baseball/softball concession stand. The eighth grade hallway at CIS was not part of the recently finished $14 million renovation and construction project that was funded from referendum and district funds. In order to add the ceiling tile to match the rest of the building, the sprinkler system and boiler pipes need to be rerouted to provide the proper ceiling height. LED lighting will also be installed in the hallway to decrease the energy usage and will provide considerable savings to the district. We continue to focus on making our facilities the best they can be for our students.
