👑 CDHS Student Council has been working hard to make this year’s Homecoming one to remember—but they need your help to pull it off!
There are already six vehicles lined up for the parade on Thursday, Sept. 25th but FOUR MORE are needed to transport our Homecoming Court and other special guests. Specifically, they’re looking for convertibles or open-top Jeeps. If you have one of these vehicles and are willing to help us celebrate, please reach out to emily.sutton@cd-csd.org or jana.jory@cd-csd.org—we’d be so grateful!

🎉 Exciting News, Sabers! 🎉 To celebrate being back in school, the first week of activities at Central DeWitt is FREE for all students! Come out, show your Saber pride, and cheer on our teams!
As we gear up for our first home football game of the season this Friday at Birney Field, we want to make sure the experience is safe, fun, and memorable for everyone. To help with that, here are a few important game-day expectations:
🏟 Family Areas: The grassy areas on the home side are perfect for families with young children. We encourage parents to keep their little ones close and enjoy the game together—cheering on our Sabers is more fun as a family!
📌 Designated Seating Areas: To ensure everyone has the best view and experience, we have designated seating for different groups. Intermediate School students will be in the bleachers on the north side, Middle School students will be near the scoreboard, and High School students in the main bleachers’ student section. Our amazing CDHS Marching Band will have their own section in the main bleachers, furthest to the north. Students are asked to stay in their assigned areas and soak in all the excitement of the game. Of course, students can also sit with an adult in other areas if they prefer.
👀 Supervision: All students in 6th grade and under must be accompanied by an adult. This ensures our younger students are safe and well-supervised, allowing everyone to focus on enjoying the game.
❌ No Extra Equipment: To keep the atmosphere focused on the game, please leave any equipment like footballs, scooters, skateboards, and backpacks at home.
🍿Food and Drink: No outside food or drinks are allowed. Support our Central Saber Athletic Boosters by purchasing snacks, drinks, and treats at the concession stand—every purchase helps our athletic programs!
Thank you for your incredible support of our students, staff, schools, and activities. Your enthusiasm and cooperation help make our Saber community truly special.
Go Sabers!

We are so excited for our students return tomorrow morning!
