Welcome to Central Primary Center

Student Program
Central emphasizes a comprehensive K-2 academic program designed to meet the individual needs of each student. Our classroom teachers are supported by a librarian, physical education specialist and music specialist. Counseling services are also available. In addition to the above programs, Central is dedicated to each child's acquisition of strong basic reading skills. Central Celebrates Reading is a year-long program of events and activities designed to promote increased achievement n reading. The program includes Family Reading Nights, Accelerated Reader, after school reading club, summer Jump Start, special assemblies, school-wide reading goals, collaboration with the Snohomish Public Library, Snohomish High School, Americorps and local businesses. Central received a grant from the Books for Kids Foundation which enabled every child to own a book of his or her own. Central values and promotes regular attendance. Throughout the 1998-99 school year, the average daily attendance exceeded 93%.

Parent Involvement
Parents and community members are always welcome at school. Those wishing to volunteer at the school may contact a teacher directly or volunteer through the school office. Central has a very supportive group of parents. This is reflected in their high visibility as volunteers at conferences, concerts and at other school functions. Central also has an active and supportive PTA. This Parent-Teacher Association supports students with money and time. Field trips, playground equipment and technology are some of their many contributions.
