This is a friendly reminder about Field Day T-shirt money due by Monday, March 4th at 3:00 PM. Each shirt is $10. Checks payable to Center Elementary.
Happy Leap Year Day!
When your child overreacts, it’s important for you not to. Set a time to talk later when you both are in control.
Don't forget next week is Center Elementary's School Book Fair! Join us on March 4-8th from 7:20 AM to 2:15 PM in the school's media center. Proceeds benefit student incentives. Hope to see you soon!
Let your child daydream sometimes. It can build imagination and coping skills.

Spend 20 minutes on DEAR time today (Drop Everything and Read).
Challenge your child to match every hour of recreational screen time with a screen-free hour of time outside.
Listen with interest when your child describes class content. Ask follow-up questions.
Make it clear that school is your child’s job. It’s more important than sports, hobbies, or screen media.
Help your child organize something, such as a closet or schedule.
Don't forget Individual Spring and Class Group Pictures tomorrow. Bring your smile! Flyers went home last week.
Have everyone in the family spend a half hour cleaning up the house. Many hands make light work.
It’s Susan B. Anthony’s birthday. With your child, learn more about her achievements.
Notice and talk about the positive qualities of your child’s friends.
Share an interesting fact with your child. For example, the moon takes a little more than 27 days to orbit the Earth.
Take a walk with your child and use all five senses to observe the world around you.
Tell your child a family story. Try to think of one that teaches a lesson.
The next time you drop your child off at practice or rehearsal, stay a few minutes and watch.
