2. Notes From Mrs. Mizell
Dear Parents,
On behalf of the teachers and staff of the Central Elementary
School (CES), I would like to welcome you back to school. I
anticipate that the 2013-14 academic year will prove to be an
exciting and productive year. To those who are new to Central, we
hope that you will quickly feel at home and become involved in the
activities of our school through the PTA and your child’s classroom.
As I continue as principal at Central Elementary, I will work diligently
with parents and faculty to foster an atmosphere that promotes a
learning community that is child centered. Working as a team we will
move forward in our mission to create a
warm, caring, disciplined, and challenging environment in which all
students can learn and reach their highest potential becoming
responsible members of society. Although we strongly believe in
academic excellence, we also feel that learning must be fun and
rewarding for each child. By working
together, students, parents/guardians, and staff can make Central
Elementary School an exciting and enjoyable place to learn. I am
blessed to work with the Central staff, families, and community.
Reaching New Heights-Soaring to Excellence
Sincerely,
