Mr. Macken's Message
Centerville Families,
I can't believe we are almost halfway through the year! We only have one week left until we wrap up the first semester of the school year. That means report cards are just around the corner, with conferences soon to follow in early February. Please see the information below regarding accessing your child's report card.
Report Cards Available at 12:00 PM on Thursday, January 25
After the first semester, you can view and print your student's report card directly from the Parent Portal. Teachers are currently busy completing the process of grading. As you can imagine, tests, homework, and projects all need to be reviewed and graded by the teachers before the process is complete. I share this with you as I don't want to cause undue stress if you look at your child's grades on Parent Portal between now and January 25, as grades are subject to change while this process is being finalized.
Go Cougars!
Mike Macken

Don’t forget about reading when making family New Year’s resolutions
A new calendar year offers an opportunity to think about the past and set goals for the future. This includes family reading goals.
With your child:
• Talk about books or stories you’ve enjoyed together in the past year. If the books are nearby, look through them. Have your child choose three favorites. Ask, “What was the best part of this story? Why?” Or, “What is your favorite picture in this book?”
• Discuss future reading plans. Are there ways you can refresh or improve reading habits? Could your family read more often? Could you read new things together, such as children’s magazines? Could
you listen to some audiobooks in the car? Could you start a family book club?
Build daily reading time into your family’s schedule and make 2024 your family’s best year ever for reading exciting materials!
