Dear Center School Families.
Thank you to all who were able to join us for our Fancy Day celebration on Wednesday! We had over 200 “special people” join us for a day of dancing and smiles. Some attended one session, some attended twice and some really special ones attended 3 times! We have a coat that was left behind if you are missing one.
Pre-Kindergarten applications for the lottery are due by February 27. Please share this information with any friends or family who have children who will be at least three years old by September 1, 2024. The program is for 3 and 4 year olds. You can find more information on our Region 20 website.

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.

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.
