Central Families,
We had a great first day! On the first day, we invite students to come into the school with an adult. After the first day, however, students will need to enter the building independently. We have staff stationed in every hallway to assist students if needed. Thank you for your cooperation and helping to keep our school safe!
Mrs. Riccobono, Principal
Welcome Back Vulcans! Tomorrow Monday, August 14 is the first day of school! Students will have a half day. Central students will be dismissed at 12:05 and 6-12 students will be dismissed at 12:10
With school right around the corner... Think before you share: back-to-school photos.
Back-to-school photos often reveal personal information about your child. School name, grade, age, identifying features, etc.- these can all be used by predators and scammers.
Regardless of your privacy settings or friends, remember it is best to keep personal information to a minimum.
We had an amazing time at our District Open House on Tuesday.!Thank you to our Vulcan families and community members who took time out of their day to join us. We were blown away to see so many of you. A special thank you to Vassar Fun & Fit (Bluewater for Christ) for hosting a fun area for Central students and providing the Pit bbq.
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! Please read the Riccobono Reader for the latest news at Central!

Thank you to everyone who shared their input when we sent out a thought exchange asking, "What are some things you would most like to see in our facilities to support the success of our students?" We had a number of participants who provided us with great insight. The administration has gathered and reviewed all of your feedback. Please read the attached letter from Superintendent Blackwell for the latest update!
Thank you to those who participated in the thought exchange the district shared last month! We received great feedback from our Vulcan Community. Please look at the attached letter from Superintendent Blackwell, where she provides information from that thought exchange and more information on the no-tax-rate increase bond proposal and a non-homestead operating bond proposal.
On June 14, the Board of Education approved a new five-year Strategic Plan, which sets goals and creates a master plan for the district's future. This year-long process involved students, staff, families, community, and Board of Education members. Vassar Public Schools is proud to present the new Strategic Plan to our community and school families.
