Goal:

To provide a positive safe learning environment that promotes mutual respect and cooperation, we employee the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) model. We teach students expectations in all areas of the building and help them meet those expectations. Each day our students recite the Panther Cub Pledge (below). CES does follow the RCS Discipline Regulation Guide when students are unable to follow the school expectations. 

​

As a Panther Cub, I will 

  • C- Cooperate

  • U- Use Good Judgement

  • B- Be Responsible and Respectful

  • S- Show Kindness 

 

Actions:

Central P.T.A.

Central Elementary School has been designated as a low performing school by the North Carolina State Board of Education.  As defined in G.S. 115C-105.37: “The State Board of Education shall identify low-performing schools on an annual basis. Low-performing schools are those that earn an overall school performance grade of D or F and a school growth score of "met expected growth" or "not met expected growth" as defined by G.S. 115C-83.15.”

 

Central School received a School Performance Grade of D. Although we are committed to improving this score, it is important to remember that just as no one single score or grade tells the whole story of a student, neither does it tell you everything about the performance of a school or the opportunities that our school provides. We work hard to maximize student instruction through various opportunities.
