Try to be available by phone or in person right after school. It’s often when kids are most ready to talk.
At bedtime tonight, tell a story about yourself at your child’s age.
Has it been a hard week at school for your child? Do something together this evening or make fun plans for the weekend.
Good morning Parents, If your student is a car rider in the mornings, we would like to remind you that our teachers who are on car duty leave their posts at 7:40 and the tardy bell rings at 7:45. If your child arrives at 7:45, your child is tardy and you must come inside to check your child in late. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Garner, Principal
Establish or reestablish a morning routine that works for your family.
Good morning,
There will be no GASA today. GASA Teachers have a planning day instead. Thank you.
“Because I said so!” is frustrating for middle schoolers to hear. Explain your reasoning.
When your child dawdles, set a timer. Say, “Try to finish before it rings.”
Look for a skill you and your child can learn together. It’s a fun way to get to know your child on a new level.
Parents,
Today your child(ren) will come home with Center Elementary's monthly newsletter to keep you informed. It will include information about upcoming events and other news. The English and Spanish copies can be found by clicking this link: https://5il.co/2c5j5
Attention Please: This is a reminder to complete the Census Verification Update for your child(ren). If you have more than one child, it only has to be completed once for all of your children. We want to ensure you have updated your emergency contacts and other important information. Follow the directions in the bottom right corner if you already have a Parent Portal Account. A copy of the instructions will be coming home with your child(ren) today. You may have received a REMIND message from your child's teacher this week in addition to this today. If you have already completed the verification process, please ignore this message.

Be sure to ask your child about pictures that went home with them today. They should be in your child's bookbag. Picture Retake Day is on January 17th for anyone who needs them.

Choose a number from 1-12. How many things can your child think of that come in that number?
