Congratulations to our PRIDE
We were excited to recognize our students who were selected as the PRIDE of the Month for September! These students exemplified the core value of Community, showing kindness, collaboration, and a commitment to making our school a welcoming place for everyone. Their actions have inspired others and made a positive impact in our classrooms and beyond.
Congratulations to all of our outstanding students for demonstrating what it means to be part of a caring and supportive community!
The Amazing Rob Surette!
We were excited to welcome Rob Surette, world-renowned speed painter and inspirational speaker, to Center School for a truly memorable assembly! Rob dazzled our students with his incredible talent, creating stunning works of art right before our eyes. More than just a painting performance, Rob shared a powerful message about perseverance, kindness, and believing in yourself. His visit left a lasting impression, reminding us all to dream big and never give up.
Thank you, Rob, for inspiring our students with your art and words! Thank you to the EHEPTO for sponsoring this assembly!

Veterans Day Recognition Video
Veterans Day is Friday, 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.
Attendance Matters!
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.
