Centerville Families,

I want to remind you about the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences at school. We are striving for 100 percent participation from all parents because your presence at these conferences plays a key role in your child’s success. Conferences provide a valuable opportunity for you to connect with your child’s teacher, get an update on how the first couple of weeks have gone, and discuss any areas where additional support might be needed. Your involvement helps us create a stronger partnership, ensuring your child feels supported both at home and in the classroom.

Here’s a quick recap of the details:

• Conference Dates: October 8th and 10th, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Registration Opens: Friday, September 27th, at 6:00 AM
• Registration Closes: Sunday, October 6th, at 9:00 PM
• How to Register: Click the link below (available starting 6AM on 9/27) or visit the registration page directly.

Attending these conferences is not only a chance to discuss academic performance but also to share insights on your child’s social and emotional well-being. It's a moment to work together to ensure they are thriving in all aspects of school life.

If you have any questions or need help with the registration process, please don't hesitate to contact our main office at 763-792-5800. Our staff is ready to assist with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership. We look forward to seeing you there!

Go Cougars!

Mike Macken

In ongoing efforts to gather feedback from stakeholders, the School Board is hosting quarterly Listening Sessions for the public. The sessions provide the opportunity for community members, staff, parents, and students to meet informally with board representatives and the superintendent to discuss topics in the schools.

Listening Sessions increase communication and engagement work that reflects the district’s commitment to excellence. Additional sessions to seek input/perspective on topics established by the Board would be scheduled as a special or additional Board Listening Session.

Listening sessions for the 2024-2025 school year:

• September 23, December 2, February 10, and April 21. Sessions are held in the District Office Board Room from 5:30 pm-6:15 pm.
