Don't forget your mask

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 continue through the school year.
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.
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.Â
