When nominating staff the nomination must again reflect how the staff member impacted you this school year by being trustworthy and/or respectful. Scholar nominations will be approved by administration before being awarded so that they reflect the pillars of character we are celebrating. In addition, the scholars can only nominate their current grade level teachers. Please do not use the Google staff form for scholars to nominate staff. They can come to the office for a form if needed.
Star Staff
Fun Run
$40, 000. As soon as I get the specifics I will send the information to team leaders.
School Spirit-Lead
We need a School Spirit Chair. The job will require you to plan one or two activities per month for our stars and staff to show school spirit. Send me (Tracy) and email if you are interested. Please as you all are much more creative than me so we need your ideas.
Fall Parties
Marla has created the form for you to use to communicate to your room parent. Please remember that we cannot give out email addresses, phone numbers and or collect money.
You can send the form electronically or print form.

Grades 1,2,4 on October 30st- 2:40-3:20
Scholars can wear a costume on the day of his/her fall party. Star scholars we ask that no masks, total coverage of face with paint or make-up or weapons be a part of the costume.
Please remind homeroom parent that due to many allergies we are requesting that the party snacks be limited to a sweet item, a salty item, and a healthy item.
Please communicate in your party communications that the fall party is for Centerville Elementary star scholars only. Due to space no siblings are allowed at the party. This includes siblings from the middle or high school.
This will be communicated to parents but we need you to enforce this and share with parents that they we strongly suggest they don't take their scholar before dismissal.
All star scholars will be dismissed at our normal dismissal time on the day of the parties. If they plan to pick up their star scholar he/she can meet them at their normal dismissal area.
If a parent wants to take their scholar early they must walk to the office (without the scholar) and make the request and the scholar will then be called to the office.
Thanks for your assistance.
