Central Stars Circular

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope this message finds you and your family well-rested and refreshed after the winter break. As we step into this new year, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the many opportunities and milestones that await us in the second half of the school year.

Our students have already accomplished so much, and we are incredibly proud of their growth and achievements thus far. With your continued support, we are confident that they will thrive even more in the months ahead. Together, we will nurture their love for learning, celebrate their successes, and guide them through any challenges they may encounter.

As we return to our routines, I encourage you to stay engaged in your child’s education by maintaining open communication with their teachers. Your involvement is invaluable and plays a crucial role in creating a vibrant and supportive school community.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead filled with learning, growth, and new possibilities. Thank you for being an integral part of our school family.

Educationally yours,

Mrs. Perreault

Central Elementary Principal

The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. The following letter explains our ALICE training and how we prepare for emergencies. Safety Letter

Don't forget to send winter gear with your children daily. The kiddos love to go out and play in the snow.

Our window for our district NWEA testing is coming up January 13th - February 7th.

For the safety and security of our students, it’s essential that anyone picking up your child after school is on the approved pick-up list. If someone different will be picking up your child, please call the office to ensure they’re added to the list.

Huge shout out to Ms. Laur for our 2nd and 3rd grade musical performances right before break. You and the students did an amazing job.

Have you noticed STARS tickets coming home with your child? These are part of our positive reward system! Students earn tickets for demonstrating STARS behavior. With each ticket, they have the chance to join various Star Clubs and can even have their names drawn during our assemblies. We’re excited to celebrate their achievements and encourage positive actions!

STARS stands for:

Show Kindness

Teamwork

Aim High

Respect

Stay Safe

We have noticed a growing number of items in our Lost and Found. To help us return belongings to their rightful owners, please make sure your child’s clothing, lunch boxes, and other personal items are clearly labeled. This simple step makes it much easier for us to reunite lost items with their owners. Thank you for your help in keeping our Lost and Found under control!

Auggie is a STAR at Central and doing amazing things with our students! Please consider donating to the Petoskey Pack as our goal is to get a therapy dog in every school. Your donations go toward training fees, dog licensure, and program maintenance. Thank you for your support!

Remind is up and running. You should be getting messages from the school please call the office.
