*Important Bus Update for Friday 12/12*
Families, due to a new road closure from Independence to Hawthorne, bus pickups on East Rodney will temporarily change.
If your student attends Clippard, Central Middle School, Terry W. Kitchen Central Junior High, or Central High School and normally gets on the bus at any stop along East Rodney, they will need to board at the corner of Themis & Pinwood until the road reopens.
Thank you for your patience as crews work in the area. We’ll update you as soon as the street is open again.

We really enjoyed the new version of the CTC 10th grade tour yesterday! It was so nice to not be rushed and for students to have choice in what they wanted to see! Here's a few snapshots of our day! Thank you for hosting and providing tour guides! Many of our students are VERY interested in applying for a 3 hour block their Jr. year!

Ms. Hull's class wrapped up the Management/Leadership Chapter with a fun activity.
The class was divided in half. 1/2 stood on the sheet, the other half made sure they didn’t step off. They had to communicate with each other to flip the sheet over and spread it back out without anyone on the team stepping off of it.
Ms. Hull said "It’s fun to watch who takes control of the situation and how they talk out their strategies. And how they handle a failure and try again."

Good morning, CGPS staff and families. The City of Cape Girardeau has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for a large portion of the city until 9:15 a.m. on Friday, November 21st unless otherwise notified. All of our school buildings are within that precautionary boil water advisory area EXCEPT for Alma Schrader and Blanchard. Those two school buildings are currently not in the advisory zone.
We wanted to let families know that we have closed the drinking fountains throughout the District, and are in the process of delivering bottled water for drinking water.
Our nutrition services staff members will follow the recommended precautions provided for food preparation until the advisory is lifted.
More information can be found on the City’s website.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
