Parent Teacher Association
The Central School PTA funds enrichment programs with our iGNITE contributions and PTA Membership dues. The PTA Enrichment Coordinators work closely with the grade level teachers to develop a list of programs that directly enhance the curriculum and classroom experience for our kids.

Arts in the Evening occurs once or twice each school year. A performer or production is showcased for members of our community at Central School, usually in the auditorium or the gymnasium. All tickets are funded by iGNITE.
Art Awareness occurs over several days or weeks. Recent events have included students making traditional pieces of raku pottery, developing an environmental piece of art in the spirit of Christo, and learning about the importance of symbolism and crest during the Renaissance. Most recently, the students created an urban landscape painting.
The Central Elementary School Garden is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year! The garden is a wonderful school-wide resource, utilized by our Outdoor Classroom teacher who provides hands-on, curriculum-based lessons for all grades. Many of our faculty incorporate the garden into their teaching throughout the year, and children can enjoy the peacefulness of the garden during recess and after school.
Central School PTA is responsible for raising the funds necessary to support our students’ participation in exciting, multi-sensory experiences that enhance curriculum-based learning. Parent contributions to Central PTA’s iGNITE will continue to be used exclusively for Central School and its students and staff.
Central School PTA asks each family to make a single, upfront donation each year that covers their child’s portion of these valuable programs. We’ve crunched the budget numbers, and these great programs cost at least $150 per student per year (approximately 80 cents per school day).
