Dear Center School Families.
The Fancy Day Dance Special Special is back! On Wednesday, February 14th, students are encouraged to invite a special someone to come join us for some dancing in the gym during their grade level specials time. Please dress to impress and come ready to shake a leg... after all it's Fancy Day!
Please join us for our Kindergarten Parent Orientation on February 22 at 6:00PM here at Center School. If you have friends or neighbors with students who will be entering kindergarten or want to know more about our program, please share the information with them.
In order to celebrate our love of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics), the Center School Specials Team is pleased to announce that we are planning to hold our annual STEAM Workshop Academy on Wednesday, March 13th, 2024. Have a hobby or interest that you’d love to share? An area of talent or expertise that you just know kids would love to learn about? We need you! Come spend the day with our amazing students and pass on your knowledge. Please click here for more information.
If your child is bringing in Valentines for their class, please have them write their name on it. They will then give one valentine to each of their classmates. Per BOE policy, we are not permitted to hand out class lists. Also , please do not include any food or candy with the valentine.
We are looking for parents to join our school climate committee to help plan ways we can celebrate our students. The committee will be revising our school-wide expectations and recognition system. Please complete the form if you are interested. The committee will meet 8-8:30 or 3:30-4 on a schedule they determine.
I would like to introduce the newest member of the Center School family. Michael Gagne will be our new School Security Personnel starting on Monday. Mr. Gagne is a retired Law Enforcement officer of over 30 years. Mr. Gagne raised a family locally and has over 10 years of coaching and other child care related experience.
Our Virtual Backpack can be found here.
Best,
Lisa

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.
