Centerville Families,

It is not too late to sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences! We are aiming for 100 percent participation because your partnership makes such a difference for your child. Conferences are October 7th and 9th, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. If you have not registered yet, please take a moment to do so before the window closes on October 5th at 9:00 PM.

And tonight is the Homecoming football game at 7:00 PM! Come cheer on the Cougars and enjoy a great community night. Please remember that elementary students need to sit with their parents or guardians and no balls are allowed in the stadium.

We hope to see you both at conferences next week and at the game tonight.

Go Cougars!

Mike Macken
