Center Community Chat
October 2, 2022
Dear Center Families,
We look forward to seeing many of you at our ice cream social on Thursday. The weather looks absolutely PERFECT for it. Thank you to all who have donated items for the basket raffle. They look amazing.
Volunteers Needed
We are in need of 2-4 parents to laminate materials for staff throughout the year. We will provide the training. Hours for this are flexible, any hours from 8-4PM. Please let Ms. O'Hearn know if you would like to be trained to support Center staff.
Center Chirps:
- We have a limited supply of free COVID tests. They are available for pick up at the main office.
Have a great week.
Warm Regards,
Dianna and Donna
PBIS - Show your PRIDE by being ready and safe
This week students were reminded of behavioral expectations in the bathroom. We discussed showing our PRIDE and respect in the bathroom by using the facilities appropriately so others have a clean and tidy bathroom to use. Please partner with us by asking your student to share the expectations with you.
