The BOGO book fair for Center School is coming up May 5-9 with set up on Friday May 2!
Check out the sign up below! Help is needed for classroom visits as well as public shopping hours. No prior experience needed
Thank you for your support - events such as the Book Fair are not possible without the support of our amazing volunteers. Money raised from the book fairs goes directly to the library!
To volunteer you need to have an active CORI on file with the school district. If you are not sure about the status of your CORI please reach out to the school and they will be able to provide assistance.
We are looking for volunteers from our school community to serve on the District Wellness Committee. Please complete this form by May 9th if you are interested!
We are happy to announce our continued partnership with the Southeastern Massachusetts Educational Collaborative (SMEC) in offering another Community Talks presentation.

Health Office Update:
It’s that time of year when we are seeing an increase in illnesses at school. As a reminder, here are common reasons when a student should stay home from school:
Fever greater than 100 degrees (must be fever-free for at least 24 hrs without using fever-reducing medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen before returning to school)
Respiratory virus symptoms such as a cough or nasal congestion that are worsening or not improving and not better explained by another cause such as seasonal allergies
Vomiting and/or diarrhea within 24 hours of coming to school
Rash or skin sores of unknown origin
Lingering sore throat with or without fever
For illnesses such as strep throat, impetigo, or conjunctivitis, a student must be treated for 24 hours before returning to school.
In general, a child returning to school should be well enough to participate in school with improving symptoms. They should also be able to manage cough and congestion on their own, and be able to tolerate food and liquids. Parents and caregivers should consult their child’s healthcare providers with specific questions about their child’s condition or illness.
