Dear Center School Families.
Happy New Year! Students and staff are back and excited to continue our learning.
Our new makeup day for pictures is Monday, January 8th. If you are having your child’s picture retaken, you need to return the package you received. In the event of a delay on Monday, we will still have pictures.
If you have any gently used games that your child no longer plays with, we would love to have them. We have an “indoor recess” cart that will be available for students to choose games to play. The games can then be returned and new ones chosen next time.
A reminder that we will have outdoor recess as long as the “feels like” temperature is above 20 degrees. Please send your child to school with a coat, hat and mittens/gloves. If there is snow on the ground, they will need boots and snow pants to be able to play in the snow. Your child’s teacher will be sending more information as well.
Our Virtual Backpack can be found here.
Thank you for sharing your child(ren) with us and partnering with us in your child’s education!
Best,
Lisa

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.
Information regarding breakfast and lunch costs and who is eligible for free lunch can be found here.
Previously shared information
If you are picking your child(ren) up at the end of the day, please ensure that you are walking them safely to your car. If you would like to enjoy some time outside, you are welcome to use the playscapes in the rear of the building.
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.
