This week, a delegation representing Central Consolidated School District and the Navajo Nation traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet directly with U.S. Senators and their staff — advocating for the federal funding that supports our students every day.

Meetings focused on key programs including Impact Aid, Johnson-O’Malley (JOM), Title VI Indian Education, tribal scholarships, and higher education support, as well as concerns around road infrastructure in our communities. The delegation met with senators and staff across several committees, including Appropriations and Department of the Interior leadership.

The most powerful voices in the room? Our own students. CCSD students spoke firsthand about how JOM and Impact Aid funding shapes their education and their futures — a reminder of why this advocacy work matters so much.

In this week's address, Superintendent Carlson reminds families that Monday, September 21 is a student late start day. Elementary schools and Newcomb and Naschitti begin at 10:30 a.m., secondary schools begin at 11:25 a.m., breakfast will not be served, and dismissal is at the usual times.

He encourages parents to download BusQuest, a free app that shows where your child's bus is and when it will arrive, and shares that the district is looking for substitute bus drivers for after-school programs and team travel. If you or someone you know would like the opportunity, reach out to our transportation department.

Superintendent also thanks staff and safety officials for completing shelter-in-place and safety protocol training at all 15 schools, and thanks Navajo Nation Police officers for greeting students at our schools during this week's attendance campaign.

The sports update covers Kirtland Central, Shiprock, and Newcomb, including volleyball at the Santa Fe tournament, Shiprock cross country's sweep at Rehoboth, and Kirtland football's matchup against top-ranked St. Michael's. The full late start schedule is posted at centralschools.org and on ParentSquare. For BusQuest help, contact your child's school or the CCSD Transportation Department.

In this week's address, Superintendent Carlson shares the start of work on a district strategic plan, which began at the August 21 and 22 Board Retreat with the Board of Education and district administration. The superintendent also recognizes the August 29 blessing and ribbon-cutting at Eagle Peak Career Academy and thanks Principal Brian Paniagua, Dr. Joseph Chee, and the Eagle Peak staff, along with everyone who came out to support the new school.

Shiprock High School students received a surprise visit from Shiyazh Pete, a 2021 graduate who played football at New Mexico State University and the University of Kentucky before signing with the Dallas Cowboys. He spoke at the fall pep rally about perseverance and playing for one another.

The sports update covers Shiprock High School, Kirtland Central High School, and Newcomb, including congratulations to Shiprock junior Taleah Phillips on being named one of the nation's top prep athletes by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

Happy Labor Day to our students, families, and staff. For district news, visit centralschools.org.

🏈 He walked these halls. Now he's inspiring the next generation of Chieftains.

Shiprock High School alum Shiyazh Pete came home this week to fire up students and student-athletes at a fall pep rally — and the energy in that gym said it all. Pete graduated from SHS in 2021, went on to play college football at New Mexico State and the University of Kentucky, and signed and trained with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent.

But the message he brought back wasn't about football stats. "You don't have to be the most talented or the strongest," Pete told the crowd. "I surrounded myself with people who had great perseverance — people who just kept showing up and put in the work, even when they were tired. That's the one thing that really stands out."

Fall sports are officially underway — come support your Chieftains this week!
🏈 Football hosts Crownpoint 📅 Thursday, Sept. 3 at 7 PM 📍 Home.
🏐 Volleyball heads to the Farmington Volleyball Invite 📅 Friday, Sept. 4 at 10 AM.
🏃 Cross Country competes at the Rehoboth Invite 📅 Friday, Sept. 4 at 3 PM.
