H.S.A. - What is that?
The Central School Home School Association (HSA) is a non-profit volunteer
organization that supports Central School and its students. The Central H.S.A.
contributes to the maintenance of high quality education, provides weekly
communication between parents, teachers and students, and carefully selects a
diversity of programs and assemblies that will allow each child to experience something
new. Our fundraising efforts allow the H.S.A to support these activities and teachers to
enhance everyday learning.
Where does the fundraising money go?
The money raised by the H.S.A. is used to fund educational enhancement for Central
School. Below are some of the projects, programs, school items and events purchased over the years by the H.S.A:
- ALL Enrichment Programs are fully HSA funded. (BMX Biking, Liberty Science Center Assemblies, Weather Station Assemblies).
- Circus Week
- All Classroom Enrichment bins for indoor recess
- The Space Ball on the playground
- The Gaga Pit
- New Library Furniture
- New Furniture for the Teacher's Lounge
- New White Boards for the classrooms
- New Basketball Hoops, both inside the gym and on the playground
- New Rug for the Music Room
- New Outdoor Table with Umbrella for the teachers outside of their lounge.
- End of Year Party on the playground with pizza and DJ.
- Supplement Field Trip Costs for each Child
- Kindergarten/New Student Ice Cream Social
- Staff Welcome Back Lunch
- Teacher Appreciation Week
- Autumn Fun Day (Scarecrow Building)

All of these would not be possible without the support of our membership and executive board.
How do I stay informed?
Members and non members are invited to attend monthly HSA meetings. Attending
HSA meetings is one of the best ways to stay informed about happenings at Central
School and the school district. You can learn about everything going on at school, and
it’s a good way to share your ideas. The meetings alternate monthly between evenings
and afternoons. Dates, times, and locations can be found on the Central H.S.A website

How can I help?
There are many ways to get involved with the Central School H.S.A, whether you are
working, have children at home, or are just looking to get involved. Everyone’s
contribution is important.
What is the Federated H.S.A. and what is Central’s H.S.A role?
The purpose of Federated is to promote the general welfare of the public schools of
Glen Rock through the cooperation of the Glen Rock district's individual school Home
and School Associations and to discuss topics, issues, and/or concerns important to
schools district-wide. Some topics discussed are homework policies, security,
technology, academics, and building maintenance.
The Federated HSA consists of representatives from each school's HSA, the Special
Education Parent Advisory Council, Glen Rock's Superintendent of Schools, principals
from each school, the Community School director, and representatives from the Glen
Rock Education Association and the Glen Rock Board of Education.
All parents are invited to attend Federated meetings. Come and hear what's happening
at all of our schools! Meetings will take place four times during the school year. You can
find the meetings on the HSA calendar:
