Principal’s Message

 

Welcome to Central School - Home of the Wildcats!

It is my honor and joy to welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year at Central School! Each new year brings fresh opportunities for growth, connection, and success, and I am excited to begin another wonderful chapter together with our students, families, and staff.

Now in my 23rd year in education and ninth year serving in Tracy Unified School District, I remain deeply committed to supporting every child’s academic and personal journey. My experiences as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, and school leader have shaped my belief that all students can achieve at high levels when they feel supported, challenged, and inspired.

At Central School, we are proud to foster a learning environment where every student is seen, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff works collaboratively to provide engaging, meaningful instruction that not only builds strong academic foundations but also nurtures curiosity, resilience, and a love of learning. We aim to prepare our students not just for the next grade level, but for lifelong success.

Strong partnerships with our families are essential to that success. We encourage you to stay actively involved in your child’s education and in our school community. Whether through volunteering, attending school events, or staying connected through ParentSquare and our school website, your engagement makes a meaningful difference.

Beyond the classroom, we are committed to creating memorable experiences that help our students grow as confident, compassionate individuals. Together, we will continue to build a positive school culture grounded in respect, collaboration, and high expectations.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. I look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and celebration.

Go Wildcats!

April Jacobs, Principal
