Good Morning Jaguar Families,
We are looking forward to welcoming our Jaguars back to campus on Monday, October 19!
Our Jaguar family is strong, and we are here to support one another! If your family has been displaced or is experiencing financial hardship due to Hurricane Isaias, please reach out to us CSoffice@santarosa.k12.fl.us so we can assist with available resources.
Events originally scheduled for this week are currently being assessed as we work through recovery efforts. We hope to share additional Athletic Event and Homecoming updates as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families. <3
Our hearts are heavy as we see the devastation and loss our community has experienced in the wake of Hurricane Isaias. We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the families who have been affected.
While Central School sustained damage during the storm, we know that buildings can be repaired and plans can be adjusted. Right now, our greatest concern is the well-being of our students, families, staff, and neighbors.
During difficult times like these, we are reminded of the strength of our community and the importance of coming together to support one another. We are more than a school. We are a family.
In light of the impact on our community, all Homecoming 2026 festivities scheduled for this week have been postponed.
An update will be provided as soon as we are able to return on campus and further assess future activities.
We love our the jaguar community and look forward to being back on campus together soon. ❤️🐆
