Center School Chronicle

Veterans Day is Monday, November 11. We would like to recognize and honor our Veteran and active duty friends and family through a digital presentation, and we are asking for your help.

If you have a Veteran or active duty service member you would like to recognize in a video presentation, please send their name and any photos. A picture in uniform taken during their time of service and one today would be ideal. Preferably with your child included. Please include their name, years of service, and branch of service. Use the Form below to share this information.

Our fourth-grade students recently enjoyed an exciting and educational day at Historic Mystic! The visit brought history to life as students explored the seaport, learned about maritime traditions, and participated in hands-on activities that deepened their understanding of New England’s rich history. This memorable experience not only connected to their social studies curriculum but also sparked curiosity and appreciation for local history. We are so proud of our students for their engagement and thoughtful questions throughout the trip!

This week, the first half of our fifth-grade students had an out-of-this-world experience during their visit to the Glastonbury Planetarium! The trip provided an opportunity to deepen their understanding of astronomy and explore our universe. Students enjoyed the immersive star show, which brought constellations and celestial bodies to life. They also participated in interactive presentations that connected their classroom learning with real-world applications of science.

👏Congratulations to:

Quinn Mathieu – President

Hannah Flannery – Vice President

Aria Hinds – Secretary

Loni Wiesner – Treasurer

Students calculated fractions along the Spooky Trail and created a model of the trail.

If a student has four unexcused absences in one month or 10 unexcused absences in a year they are classified as truant. If a child misses 18 or more days in a school year – excused or unexcused absences – the student is classified as chronically absent.

Access to the East Hampton attendance policy is available HERE

Email process for reporting an absence:

To increase the ease of reporting an absence and documenting parent approval of the absence for a student’s first 9 absences, the East Hampton Public Schools has created email addresses that parents can use to contact their student’s school and report an absence. Effectively immediately, the following email addresses can be used by parents to report and document their approval of an absence:

• Memorial_Attendance@easthamptonct.org
• Center_Attendance@easthamptonct.org
• EHMS_Attendance@easthamptonct.org
• EHHS_Attendance@easthamptonct.org

If you have successfully emailed the school, you will receive an autoreply that notifies you that the absence communication has been received and recorded. This process is effective for your student’s first 9 absences. After your student has more than 9 absences, additional documentation or communication will be required to excuse the absence. Please use the email to continue to notify the school that your child will not attend. You may call your child’s school at any time to report an absence, as well.
