Dear Center School Families,
Thank you to all you participated in Center School's first Scholastic Pajama Drive!!!
We collected a total of 58 sets of pajamas! These will go to the Klingberg Center in New Britain. Scholastic will also be donating one book for each set of pajamas! We also raised more than $1200 for CCMC! A final count will be given on Monday. Thank you for all your support for our community!
From Mrs. Caporuscio, School Counselor,
Next week during Second Step lessons, your child will begin Unit 2: Emotion Management. In this unit your child will learn how to identify and label emotions and use emotion-management strategies-to calm strong feelings down.
In the Virtual Backpack is a one-page unit overview by Grade level that introduces the concepts and skills being taught. This Home Link offers ideas that you can use to reinforce your child’s learning and support their practice beyond the classroom.
If there is a change to your child’s end of the day routine, you must send a note in with your child or email centerschool@lpsct.org. When teachers are absent, the office is not notified of changes. Please have all changes into the school no later than 11:00am. We understand that emergencies happen but we appreciate early notice.
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.
Please see the important information regarding the change in the breakfast and lunch program. Starting in January there will be a charge for students.
The Holiday Season is here, and it is a very exciting time for all of us. It also gives us a wonderful opportunity to help those in our community that need assistance.
If you would like to help those in need with holiday giving, at Center School we will be collecting donations of retail gift cards (Target, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Gap, Old Navy, etc.) This collection will begin on December 5th. All donations must be received no later than December 16th. Retail gift cards may be sent in with your student or delivered to the attention of the Center School main office. If you prefer to give a monetary donation so that appropriate gifts can be purchased, please make checks payable to “Town of Litchfield” and mark on the memo line “Community Holiday Giving Project”. You can send them to the attention of the Center School main office or mail them to P.O. Box 12, Bantam, CT 06750. We will also accept donations of unwrapped toys which we will place under our giving tree in the main lobby.
We hope the spirit of giving will make your own holidays happier. Thank you for your generosity.
Good afternoon Superintendent Chris Leone,
Senator Murphy invites your students to participate in his Office’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Essay Contest. We ask students from elementary, middle, and high schools from across Connecticut to participate in honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by submitting essays that reflect on Dr. King’s dream, their own aspirations, and the importance of what Dr. King means to them.
Submissions are now open and must be received by Saturday, January 7th at 11:59pm. Essays can be submitted online or mailed to our Hartford Office.
Essay instructions can be found via this link. Once you click the link, you will need to download the files. You are encouraged to distribute this link to your school community.
We look forward to reading and reviewing your student’s work! If you have any further questions, please contact Erin McBride at 860-549-8463 or email at MLK_Essay@murphy.senate.gov.
Best Wishes,
