Centerburg Elementary Newsletter - August 2025
From the Principal - Mr. Thompson
Welcome Back to School! My Vision for our school is to provide a fun, safe, caring, and challenging environment for learning for staff, students, and parents.
Please check PowerSchool often to keep informed of you child's progress in each of his/her classes. If you need help logging in to PowerSchool, please contact beth.todd@centerburgschools.org
Illness
Students with a fever(temperature of 100°F or higher) will be sent home and should stay home at least 24 hours after their fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicines.
Cellphones and SmartWatches
The staff at Centerburg Elementary School is dedicated to creating positive learning environments for our students. Personal Communication Devices (PCDs) often disrupt instructional time for our
students. For this reason, classrooms are cell phone and smart watch free. Students need to turn them off and store them in their backpacks until the end of the day.
Attendance
If your child is going to be absent or if you need to change the way your child is going home, please email attendance.el@centerburgschools.org. The secretaries will be
checking it throughout the school day.
I encourage you to make sure your student is in school. Attendance is critical to students' success. Students who are consistently in school have better grades and do better on local, state, and national tests. It is important that parents and schools work together to make sure every child is in school. See below for an infographic on attendance.
Let's make it a great year!
Welcome New Staff!
Mrs. Huddleston is our new 4th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher this year. She is a recent Franklin University graduate with a Primary Education degree. She substitute taught and student taught at Northmor Elementary school. This is Mrs. Huddleston's second career as she was a former Surgical Technologist at The OSU James Cancer Center. Although teaching is her heart she is also heavily involved in family life. Her children go to Northmor and are actively involved in sports. She is excited and eager to work with the 4th grade students where they will feel safe, loved, and important.
Fundraiser
We are excited to announce that our Cookie Dough, Gourmet Food & Gift Fundraiser starts Wednesday, August 27th. We will be sending home all of the information with your student.
Our goal is to raise as much money as possible so we can fund Field Trips, Staff Appreciation, School Assemblies, and Student Rewards and Incentives.
You can help us be getting started early with online selling and sharing the Fundraiser. Simply go to FundPrizes.com to register and share the Fundraiser with at least 7 People Today! Your student will earn a prize for completing this task that they will hear all about at the big Fundraiser Kick-Off.
Stay tuned for additional information and be sure to check your student's backpack on Wednesday.
Thank you in advance for your support!
