Centerville Families,

Have you noticed white Cougar Tickets in your child's pockets? That's a sign they're meeting our behavior expectations, and it's something to celebrate!

This past week, we've been teaching kids about our four core values: Respect, Responsibility, Readiness, and Making Right Choices. Our PBIS rewards students with Cougar Tickets when they demonstrate these values, and they can win prizes in our weekly drawings!

To support your child's growth in these areas, we're introducing a new section in our Friday Flash.

This week, we'd love for you to:

1. Watch our " Cougar Pride in the Hallways" video with your child.
2. Discuss these questions:
• What does a voice level of "0" mean?
• Why is walking facing forward important?
• Set a hallway goal together (e.g., walk on the right side, open doors slowly, or keep facing forward).

For a complete list of our behavior expectations, check out our PBIS Expectations Matrix.

Thank you for helping us foster positive behavior at Centerville Elementary!

Go Cougars!

Mike Macken

1. Watch our " Cougar Pride in the Hallways" video with your child.
2. Discuss these questions:
• What does a voice level of "0" mean?
• Why is walking facing forward important?
• Set a hallway goal together (e.g., walk on the right side, open doors slowly, or keep facing forward).

• All contributions for classroom and field trips are made online in the parent portal.
• Follow THESE easy directions to make a contribution to either your student's classroom for fun activities throughout the year or field trips that classes will take.
• More information on classroom money and field trips will be shared by teachers during Parent Information nights.

• Interested in volunteering in a classroom, library, or with one of our wonderful events throughout the year?
• Complete the below survey and we will reach out with opportunities throughout the year.
• Opportunities vary in time commitment and can be weekly, monthly, as needed/available basis.
• Volunteer Survey

Do you have an hour a week that you would like to help us out? We are looking for volunteers to pick up Power Packs this year.

Volunteer Responsibilities:

• Drive to the Middle School on Wednesday
• Grab the tote(s) with CVE on them.
• Drop them off at Centerville School.

The more volunteers we get, the fewer times you need to go. It works great if we have at least 4-5 as that will only make the trip once a month.

If you are interested in helping us with the pickups, please call or email Judy Montain at 763-792-5804 or jmontain@isd12.org.

• Buy early and save money! Purchase your 24-25 yearbook here.

• We are looking for first day of school pictures of students!
• These pictures can be by themselves or with a group (at the bus stop, carpool lane, at home!) The more pictures the better!! 🙂
• HERE is the link to submit pictures!
  

• Students who participated in the Reading Challenge should turn in their reading logs to their teachers by Friday, September 13th.
• The Ice Cream celebration will take place on Thursday, September 19th.

The Centerville Parent Teacher Association (CPTA) is a great way to be engaged with your child’s school and meet other families.

Check out the CPTA Website for more information.

Ticket Information:

• Tickets for admission should be purchased prior to arriving to Cougar Stadium to expediate the process of entering the venue.
• Only online digital tickets are available for sale. Cash is not accepted for admission tickets to events at Centennial High School.
• HERE is the link to purchase online admission tickets.

Elementary aged students are welcomed to attend Centennial High School Athletic events. As a reminder, they are required to be accompanied and supervised by their parents/guardians throughout the event.

Elementary school students should be in the bleachers with their parents/guardians not gathered or congregating near the main entrance/concessions due to heavy amount of traffic from entering Cougar Stadium, concession lines, and restrooms.

Outside athletic equipment/supplies (i.e., balls, bats, sticks, etc.) are prohibited at Centennial High School Athletic events. Please leave them at home or in your vehicles. Failure to comply will result in event staff taking the items and holding them until the conclusion of the event.

Reminder: Immunization Information
Minnesota law requires children enrolled in childcare, early childhood education, or school to be immunized against certain diseases, unless the child is medically or non-medically exempt.

If proper documentation is not provided, students will be unable to attend school after November 1st, 2023. What you need to do:

• Contact your health care provider and review your student’s immunization status to make sure they are up to date.

• Follow up with your students’ school if they have reached out to you regarding your student’s immunization status.
• Turn in medical (must be signed by health care provider) and non-medical (must be notarized) exemption forms to your child’s school.

Visit the MDH website for vaccine schedules, exemption forms and more information including where to get free/low cost immunizations today. Please reach out to your student’s school for any questions. Please note, K-12 immunization status is available on Campus Parent Portal.
