Central A&M CUD #21 is celebrating an extraordinary achievement by one of its students and preparing for another school year with new students and extra resources.  In that achievement, Central A&M high school student Jamesly Jesse won the National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award.  As district superintendent Sacha Young shared, the project accurately reflects Jesse’s character.

In other new developments, the district will begin using a new online mental health resource called Cartwheel.  The superintendent says this virtual provider will help more students and families get help more quickly. 

The next school year is still four months away, but the school district is getting ready already.  The elementary school held kindergarten screenings on Wednesday.  These screenings are meant primarily for families whose prospective kindergartners did not attend the district’s preschool.  This process helps students and families become familiar with the kindergarten experience and expectations. 

Central A&M students also wrapped up standardized testing in recent days.  Students in all grades took part in various exams, while the high school seniors had a special opportunity to help them prepare for what’s next.
