Center School Weekly Update

Dear Center School Families,

I hope you all have an enjoyable and healthy spring break.  We have many exciting events and trips coming up in April and May!

Dear Litchfield Public Schools Recipient,

This year, we partnered with Panorama Education to survey our school families about your experiences and perceptions. Your participation is completely confidential, meaning no one at the district or school will ever see your responses. Panorama Education is managing this process to ensure security.

Survey data will be used by the administrators to identify strengths and areas for growth.

To complete your survey, please click the following link: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/lps-rsd6/5834679765/surveys?language=en If you have trouble accessing the online survey, please contact us at support+lps-rsd6@panoramaed.com.

The survey will close on April 28th.

Thank you for your participation.

Regards,

Litchfield Public Schools Administration

At this time of year, we start looking forward to the coming school year.  We would like to offer you the opportunity to provide input for your child’s placement regarding learning styles, or other information related to how your child learns. Please complete and return the Parent Placement Letter in the Virtual Backpack.  All feedback must be received no later than April 24, 2023.  

As a reminder, if you are coming into the building for a meeting or visiting your child’s classroom, you are required to bring your ID and scan in using the device in the lobby.  If you are picking up your child (during the day or after school) you will need to show identification.  We have new staff members in the office and we need to ensure that students are leaving with an approved adult. 

Thank you for sharing your child(ren) with us and partnering with us in your child’s education!

Best,

Lisa

Fitness Bag Information

We are excited to introduce our Fitness bags which will be sent home with all Kindergarten through Grade 3 students this year.  The activity is sponsored by Fit Together.  Fit Together is a community collaborative formed in 2011.  The initial purpose was to identify and implement environmental and social improvements in the Northwest corner of CT. Their mission is to build the healthiest kids, families and communities through sustainable strategies that foster healthy eating and active living.

Each bag has a variety of activities for students to share with their family and friends.  Suggestions of games will be included, but you are welcome to create your own fun as well.  Bags will be sent home each Friday with one student from the class.  The bag should be returned with all the contents on the following Thursday so that another classmate can enjoy the following week.  

If you would like to email pictures or share any feedback, we would love to have it.  Information can be sent to the centerschool@lpsct.org address.

Food Services If you would like for your child to receive breakfast at school, please sign up using this form.  The food service program needs to track the breakfasts provided, so you must order by 7:45am daily.  You can also order for the full week ahead of time.

Starting March 1, all students are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch through the remainder of the school year.  Please see the Virtual Backpack for more information.
