👕✨ Our first Life Skills shirts of the school year!✨👕

The Life Skills students have been hard at work making their very first T-shirts of the year! 💙 These shirts will be worn on our upcoming field trips so our students can proudly represent the Havana Ducks Life Skills Class wherever we go! 🦆

Did you know our Life Skills class can make shirts for YOU, too?! 🎨👕 If you’re interested in having shirts made with lots of love by our Life Skills students, email dharris@havana126.net with your shirt size, color, quantity, and design idea. Don’t have a design? No problem—we can create one for you!

Your order helps our students practice real-world job skills, teamwork, following directions, and pride in their work!

Thank you for supporting our Life Skills students and helping us create meaningful work experiences! 🦆💙

New Central Families, with the increased heat index, we made a few changes to help speed up dismissal today and it worked well. We will continue this until further notice. Families picking up transfer students (Pre-K, Junior High, or High School students riding buses over) should continue to pick up at the same location you have been using all year. Your pickup location is not changing. All transfer students will come through New Central and out the FRONT of the building as usual. Please DO NOT attempt to meet or pick up your student from the transfer buses in the back of the building. We’re hopeful this change will continue to make dismissal quicker and smoother for everyone and get students and families out of the heat a little faster! ☀️ If you have any questions please call New Central School at 309-543-2241.
