Center Community Chat
DECEMBER 17, 2023
Dear Center Community,
Five more wake ups until a much needed winter break! Please be sure to check out the lost and found area if you are in the school for a classroom event or pickup. There are some beautiful coats and sweatshirts ready to be returned to their rightful owners, writing your child's name on clothing items help us to do so. All items remaining on Friday will be donated.
Staff Updates
Please join me in welcoming Gabrielle Laferriere, who will be providing para educator support to students in Ms. Driscoll's class. Brianna Langlois left Center to fill a long-term substitute position at the Harrington school. We wish her well.
Drop Off and Pick Up Reminders
- Please pull up to the very front before allowing students out of the car.
- In the afternoon the drive in front of the K wing is for special education transportation only.
- Please adhere to the No Parking signs along the drive exiting the school. This becomes extremely important when we have snow, as parking there does not allow the safe travel of two-way traffic.
Center Chirps:
- If your child comes home with an unfamiliar hat or mittens no need to return them. We wash and make available those left in lost and found. A big thank you to Mr. Woodman's mother who made many pairs of mittens for our students!
Warm Regards,
Dianna and Donna
