Mr. Macken's Message
Centerville Families,
As we begin our second month of school, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible support and enthusiasm you've shown for your children's education. The last four weeks have been a joy, and I've had the privilege of witnessing your children's growth and engagement in the classroom.
Our dedicated teachers have been working tirelessly to create a nurturing and educational environment for your little ones. They are excited to share your child's progress and accomplishments with you during the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences.
If you haven't already signed up for these conferences, now is the perfect time to do so. The deadline for registration is Sunday, October 6th, at 9:00 P.M. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to connect with your child's teacher, gain valuable insights into their academic journey, and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
Your active involvement in your child's education is an essential factor in their success, and these conferences are a vital part of that partnership. Please click this link to secure your preferred time slot and ensure you get the opportunity to connect with your child's teacher.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education, and we look forward to seeing you at the conferences. Together, we can continue to support and nurture their growth.
Go Cougars!
Mike Macken
