For Freshmen

Welcome Freshmen Parents and Guardians!

We are looking forward to working with you on helping your child become Warrior Graduates. The following information will help you understand the policies, procedures, and process here at Central High School.

Parent Responsibilities

ParentVue is the tool that teachers use to communicate with you progress, grades, and attendance.
We expect parents and guardians to log in to ParentVue on a regular basis to monitor Daily Assignments, Class Schedule (communicate with teachers), Grades, and Attendance.
You can opt-in to receive notifications with an active email address. If you encounter problems with ParentVue, please reach out to our attendance office, or visit: ParentVue Info

More information about communicating with teachers can be found on page 8 of the Parent/Student Handbook. CHS Student expectations can be found here.

Remember, we are preparing students for life AFTER high school!
