About Central Elementary
Central Elementary, located in Alleman, Iowa, serves students in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. The school provides a nurturing, student-centered environment where each child is supported academically, socially, and emotionally.
A clear sense of purpose guides the school’s actions, fosters a strong sense of community, and supports growth both inside and outside the classroom. Mission statements are an integral part of the school culture.
“Our mission is for all students to be curious learners, that persevere, and value all.” This reflects the values lived out each day.
In alignment with the Leader in Me model, Central Elementary integrates leadership principles into everyday learning. Each classroom develops a shared mission statement that reflects who students aspire to be and how they choose to learn together. Teachers model this process with personal mission statements, and many students have begun creating their own. These statements support goal-setting, guide decision-making, and help students reflect on the kind of individuals they want to become.
