Extended school year for some students
The last day of school is scheduled for Monday, June 15th, however, students identified as qualifying for the extended school year programming (ESY) will continue their learning remotely this summer. The district states that it is important to note, however, that ESY services are not designed to be a complete duplication of all services a student would receive during the school year. Remote summer learning for ESY will take place July 6, 2020 through July 30, 2020 (4 weeks). During those weeks, high school remote sessions will take place on Monday through Thursday, from 7:45am - 11:15am. Source: May 29 update from MSD communications via schoolmessenger email |

Graduating seniors and any students who are leaving the district must return the borrowed Chromebook. At the moment, we are not asking students who are returning to school in the fall to return borrowed Chromebooks.". Source: May 28 update from MSD communications via schoolmessenger email |

Ebsco Usage Statistics
Looking at how our students and our faculty are using the Ebsco resources at Central, statistics show about 5% of our users are on a mobile device. For operating systems of our desktop users, we are mostly split between Windows and ChromeOS. Our yearly timeline shows the highest login and search
activity was performed in December with a monthly average user logins of 804. Coming a close second are the months of
