Look for opportunities to compromise with your child.
Attention Parents/Guardians:
If you have a transportation change for your child, it must be communicated through a written note. We will not accept text messages, phone calls, or emails. All changes must be communicated before 1:00 PM. This is extremely important for the safety of your child. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

We will share information about the upcoming GMAS testing! You do not want to miss out on this event. We will meet in the front office first to sign in with your driver's license or photo ID. Then we will move to break-out sessions with your child's teacher.
Please see the flyers for more information. Your child will bring this home on Wednesday, January 24th. Please return the reservation form so we can plan for your attendance. We have study guides and other informative documents to share with you.

Sincerely,
Parent Engagement Department
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.
Establish or reestablish a morning routine that works for your family.
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
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.
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.

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
Talk with your child about mistakes. What are some ways people can learn from their mistakes?
Friendly Reminder: 2nd 9 Weeks Report Cards will go home with students on January 10th.
Teach your child: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
Suggest a book to your child in which the main character is a positive role model.
Is your child shy? Encourage your student to seek out someone who looks ill at ease and start up a friendly conversation.
