Center Connection
Principal's Message
Dear Center School Families,
As we conclude the first month of school, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your incredible support. Your commitment to ensuring that the students arrive each day ready to learn has made a significant difference in our school and culture. The enthusiasm and preparedness they bring to school are a direct reflection of the encouragement and guidance they receive at home.
We are off to a wonderful start, and I look forward to the continued partnership as we work together to make this school year a great success.
In partnership,
Kerryann Coppinger

New Attendance System: PickUp Patrol
Thank you for your support in having a clear streamlined process for attendance.
If you haven't confirmed your default plan please click the link in your email and do so as soon as possible. This is critical to ensure we have the proper end of day plan for each student Pk-5.
All attendance changes will be communicated through PickUp Patrol. If your child is going to be absent for the day please confirm the absence in the app before school starts. The app will close to absence edits at 9:30am. Any afternoon dismissal changes must be submitted prior to 2:00pm.
Thank you for your support in getting this awesome new program up and running!

Center School Fun Run – Just 2 Days Away!
For the past week, our students have been working with the Boosterthon team, learning about important character traits, preparing for the run and earning fun prizes along the way. We are now only 2 days away from our Center School Fun Run!
This event helps raise vital funds for our STEAM program, with a goal of $25,000. Students are encouraged to collect pledges from family and friends—either per mile run/walked/jogged or as a flat donation.
The Fun Run will take place on Wednesday, October 1st, and we would love to see families come out to support and cheer on our students!
Students will run according to the below schedule and families are welcome to attend the outdoor event. If you arrive to watch the Fun Run you may go walk directly to the baseball field. You do not need to come sign in the office.
9:00 Pre-School (Pre-School will be on the front playground doing their own fun run day activities.)
9:00-10:00 - Grades 4/5
10:15-11:15 - Grades 2/3
1:30-2:30 - Grades K/1
*These times are for the "outdoor" Fun Run. Families are invited to attend if it is outdoors.
*If the Fun Run needs to be moved inside due to weather the schedule will be different and families will not be permitted to attend. If it is indoors each grade level will have their Fun Run individually during their Related Arts block (40Min).
Thank you for helping us make this fundraiser a success and for supporting our students as they run toward their goals!

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.
We appreciate your help in growing our substitute pool!
