Open house chance for questions, observe some sports
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, Charlotte Central School held the annual open house. Educators were waiting throughout the building to greet students and parents and answer any questions.
The first few weeks of school were designed for students to become experts in their learning communities; and they were encouraged to guide their parents through their school environment. Soccer games and a track meet were a bonus so staff could cheer on their students and the community could see opportunities in which students participate.
After the open house, Charlotte Central School hosted local first responders for a training session. This exercise helped prepare local teams and mutual-aid departments with information about the school campus and the inner workings of the building. Not only did they hear about the protocols and practices in place for staff and students, but it is hoped this training will help first responders to be effective and efficient in case of an emergency.
