Friday, November 20th is a Staff Work Day
Friday, November 20th, will be a Staff Work Day. There will be no school for students. The purpose of the Staff Work Day is to complete a deep cleaning throughout school campuses and buses prior to the Thanksgiving Break. Please make note of this change to the calendar. Thank you!
Attention: Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases and the shortage of staff members on campus, we are having to postpone our parent luncheons for Thanksgiving on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. We will be reimbursing funds for those parents who paid in advance the week of November 30th. We apologize in advance for this, but it is outside of our control. We do plan to have an outside picnic luncheon in late February/early March if it is possible. As always, thank you for your continued support of Center Elementary! Be safe!
Thanks,
Tyler A. Bennett
Principal
Center Elementary School
