Center School News and Updates 2/12/24
Thank you for your support with devices and toys coming into school. It has made a difference over the past few weeks.
We hit the 100th day of school and enjoyed seeing students dress as a “100 year old” person. May we all look that good when we reach 100!
Attendance letters will be sent out this week to families who have students with extensive unexcused absences, tardies, or dismissals. We will provide a copy of the attendance record for you to review and ask that you please let us know if there are excused absences that are not noted on the report. Consistent attendance in school is essential to a student’s academic success and social development. Every student is expected to attend school daily unless there are serious reasons to the contrary.
All parents/guardians are asked to adhere to the policies for attendance in school and provide the appropriate communication needed for absences. Please contact me directly if there are issues around attendance and we will work together to resolve them.
We have included a long list of important dates for the remainder of the school year. There are a few to be added and we add them as soon as possible. We are still finalizing some details of events and we will get more details out to you.
Enjoy the week! Be safe and share a ‘heart’ moment with someone special!
