Principal's Message
Dear Families,
My message this week focuses on our family pick up and drop off procedures. If the line for pick up/drop off extends past our school driveway into Hartley Street, please ensure you drive up to Hale, and come back down into line. There is no taking a left into the parking lot once the line extends past the driveway. We appreciate you respectfully joining behind those who are already ahead of you and not passing any cars once in the line.
When entering the drop-off loop, please drive all the way forward to where the "Pick Up Starts Here Sign" is stationed before stopping. To keep traffic moving efficiently, students should begin unloading if they are positioned anywhere in the circle, stretching from the front sign all the way back to Nurse Audra. When cars wait to pull up further instead of unloading when they have a safe opening, it creates significant congestion and delays for the families behind you. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep the line moving safely and quickly!
Additionally, please ensure you utilize the Parent Pick Up line and do not drop off in the front lot when arriving at the start of the day. Also, please be mindful of our transportation vans and do not pass a van that is loading or unloading.
To ensure a smooth and timely start to the school day for all our students, we want to remind you that morning drop-off concludes promptly at 8:35 AM. Students arriving after this time must be signed in at the main office and will be marked tardy.
In a final note, you may have noticed we are utilizing the outside space for dismissal family pick ups rather than congesting the hallway. On days of heavy rain and in the winter months that will shift back inside but for now we will try to make best of the great weather!
We appreciate your partnership in keeping our drop off/pick up procedures safe,
Kerryann

Substitutes Wanted - We Need You!
Substitutes play a critical role in helping our school succeed and Center School needs more of them! If you have the flexibility in your schedule or know someone who does, it is an incredible way to support our school community. Please reach out with any questions.
