Center Elementary School

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

Parents, To help make tomorrow run smoothly, please write the following information on an index card for each child who is starting school tomorrow, even if you already shared this with the teacher at Open House. It will help to make sure our information is accurate. Student Name____________ Grade___________ Parent Phone Number_______________ On 8-4-21, my child is ... a car or bus rider (with number of the bus if you know it). If this information is changing for any reason on the second and third day of school this week, please send this card daily. Thank you,
