Health and safety
Check Temperatures Daily
Students must be fever-free for 24 hours, before returning to campus.
Don't forget your mask
Students and staff will respect one another by wearing masks while on campus.
Keep us informed
If health situations or return plans change, inform both Central Nine and your high school.
Please see the PDF above and review the information below for tips on how to be prepared for the first day of classes.
Central Nine will not host a registration day this year. Students will receive registration information on the first day of classes. It is extremely important that students and parents complete all of the required paperwork during the first week of school to ensure that we have the correct contact information on file.
High schools do not notify Central Nine of student absences. It is imperative that parents call both the high school AND Central Nine to submit an absence at 317-888-4401. *Be sure to complete all registration paperwork during the first week of school to ensure that we have the correct contact information on file should your child become ill.
Central Nine does not provide transportation services. Please direct any questions regarding transportation to your student’s high school. Students who have permission from their high school to drive to Central Nine will need a parking pass. Parking pass information will be sent home with students during the first week of school.
Our team will be at the entrances to welcome and direct students to their assigned classrooms. High schools create program assignments, so please contact your high school counselor if you have questions or concerns.
Your high school counselor is responsible for creating your class schedule and will be able to inform you of your program. He or she will also be able to tell you if you are enrolled in the morning or afternoon session.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Central Nine will not provide food or drinks this year. Furthermore, there will be no vending machine or water fountain access. Students who bring their own water bottles may use refilling stations, which will be sanitized frequently. Central Nine does not serve breakfast or lunch, as these options are available at the high schools.
Students should bring a notebook and pen or pencil to the first day of class. Teachers will provide information regarding class uniform/supply requirements during the first week of school. A mask will also be required.
If Students Show Signs of Illness on Campus...
As an additional measure of safety, the Student Services Conference Room will temporarily function as a sickbay. Any student who is exhibiting non-COVID-19 symptoms of illness, such as cold and flu, will be held in the sickbay until a parent or guardian can retrieve the student.
COVID-19 Point of Contact
These individuals will communicate with parents, our partner schools, health department, etc.

- By August 6th, staff will be trained on Central Nine’s expectations for cleaning and social distancing in classrooms and labs.

- Masks will be required, and social distancing standards will be implemented when possible.
- Cleaning procedures will be increased.

- Classrooms will be provided with hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes.
- Desks/work areas of sick students will be sanitized immediately.
- And finally, students and staff are encouraged to stay home if sick. Do not “tough it out.”
