Attention All Parents and Staff:
Please mark your calendars for 9-23-21 for our Annual Title I Parent Meeting. The recorded meeting will be shared next week via email, text, and social media. Please see the invitation for details which will go home this week with students.
This Wednesday AND Thursday Center Elementary is celebrating International DOT DAY in honor of the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. We will be encouraging our students to "Make Their Mark...and See Where it Takes Them!" Please encourage your children to wear dots on that day. It can be on their clothes, socks, shoes, face, hair...wherever!!! Let them be creative. Let's have fun with this. We will be taking pictures and sending them to the author. Hopefully we will make it to his webpage! We will also post pictures to Center's Facebook page as well. Thank you so much!! Can't wait to see everyone dotted out!!
Good morning, Parents,
This week, your child has received a paper copy of the following documents: Parent-School Compacts, Center Elementary and Ware County's Parent Engagement Plan, and the Right to Know letters in a packet. This is a reminder for you to read over the documents and become familiar with our school's plan for family engagement. All of this information is also available to you through our website and can be accessed by clicking the links below. One important document that needs to be returned after you and the student sign is the Signature Sheet (cream-colored paper). This is very important for our school to collect and we encourage you to sign and return this document by next week.
Thank you for your help!

Dear Parents,
If your student owes a fine, before he/she will be allowed to check out a Chromebook the fine must be paid or you must purchase the $22 insurance for each Chromebook. This insurance is purchased online through the link provided below. Please do not send money to the school for the purchase of the Chromebook insurance.
All forms (device form, internet form, and copy of driver's license) need to be returned in addition to the paid fine and/or insurance purchase.

Parents, we are sending home a letter today with each student notifying you if you have not completed the Device Form, paid any fines from last school year, and/or not provided a copy of your driver’s license. Please look for this letter so that we can issue your child a Chromebook. Also, we will be available today for another sidewalk drive-up in front of the media center between 12:45-1:30 PM. Any student not having on file the Chromebook Device Form will not be issued a Chromebook. Thanks in advance!
Attention! Attention! Parents, if you have not completed the Chromebook Device Form, paid any fines from last school year, or provided a copy of your driver’s license, we are waiting on you and are here to help you this afternoon! Stop by the sidewalk in front of the media center between 2:45 PM and 3:15 PM, and we will make sure that you are taken care of so that your child can be issued a Chromebook! Thanks in advance!
Good Afternoon, Parents,
If you have not completed the Chromebook Device Form and submitted a copy of your driver's license, please do this as soon as possible. By taking care of this paperwork, Center staff will be able to release the Chromebook to your child. If you do not have the paperwork, please click the link to access the file (you will need a printer) or stop by the front office to pick up the form: https://5il.co/x14u
Please come between the hours of 9:00 AM-1:00 PM to make any payments or to pick up a form. We will also be available for a drive-up option between 2:45-3:15 PM in our car loop.
Also, if your child owes a fee for damages, he/she must take care of this fee before another Chromebook can be issued.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

ATTENTION: Parents of Kindergartner students. Please disregard the traffic map and information that was shared this morning about the kindergarten drop off. This was an error. We are correcting the map now.
Again, disregard the message about Kindergarten having a different plan. Thank you.
Dear Center Parents,
I know firsthand how long our first day of afternoon car rider pickup lasted. I want to thank you for your patience and for your understanding on this first day, and I want you to know that we are implementing several strategies on Day 2 to help alleviate some of the issues from today. I promise you that by Friday we will have our car rider line running like usual! However, please know that when dismissing and loading over 400 car riders that we will do so with safety as our top priority, especially on Day One! Again, thank you for all you do, and I hope that all of our students had a great first day back at Center! We were excited to see them!
Sincerely,
Tyler A. Bennet
Principal
