Reminder Dress to Impress School Spirit Day- April 7th

Centerville's PTA invites you to bring your Centerville scholar to a light breakfast before

Kindergarten Registration Continues
A Shift in Enrollment Procedures
We made a shift in enrolling our scholar for kindergarten and are moving away from the packet sign out. Parents will be directed to fill out the packet here at CES. No packets will be signed out this year. This will allow for accurate accounting of enrolled scholars and allocating kindergarten staffing. Please bring the required items listed below when you come to CES to enroll. We will have a location for you to complete the packet here at CES. Thanks in advance for your collaboration to ensure we adequately staff kindergarten.
Required Items for Kindergarten Registration
- Provide your scholars most recent immunization record
- Provide proof of birth date
- Proof of Residency: (gas, electric, water/sewer bill, property tax statement , or a signed lease/rental agreement) Must contain your name and dated within the last 30 days
- Enrollment form will be given to you at the school.
Please contact Mrs. Welch at 240-566-0103 or by email at susan.welch@fcps.org with any questions.
We say goodbye and hello!
During the March 7th Principals Chat I shared our staffing allotment for the 2017-18 school year. Due to the projected enrollment decrease we were allotted three less teachers for the 2017-18 school year.
At the end of the school year we will be saying goodbye to Mrs Pain,1st Grade teacher, Mrs. Stone 3rd grade teacher, and Mrs. Whang, 5th grade teacher.
Mrs. Jennifer Riley will be joining our staff as a half time teacher effective July 1. Mrs. Riley is currently a teacher at Tuscarora Elementary. We wish everyone a great start with their new venture.
Staff 2017-18
Can I request a specific teacher for the 2017-18 School Year?
FAQ
Can I write a letter about the teacher I want my scholar to have or not have next year?
Yes, you can write a letter sharing the characteristics of the ideal teacher your star scholar needs to be successful in the classroom.
Do you take specific teacher requests?
No we do not take specific teacher requests because staffing can change at anytime and any CES staff members will meet the needs of your star scholar. Specific teacher requests will not be honored.
When is the optional letter due to Mrs. Hilliard describing the characteristics of the ideal teacher for your star scholar?

5th Grade Promotion
Promotion ceremony for our 5th grade students is in the planning stages. We are holding the program on June 8th at 9:30.
As we are working on the details, it is a concern of our planning committee that we will not have the space that we have had in the past due to the large size of our 5th grade class.
At this point we are looking at our physical building space, working with our facilities department and determining a number that we can safely gather for the promotion ceremony.
We will keep you posted, but please understand that we will have limited space.
