As always, we are grateful for each of you and for our community.

School & Community Events

Mix & Mingle:

We will host a Mix & Mingle in the school yard on Friday, October 20th at Center School from 5:00 – 6:30 pm. The Mix & Mingle is a community event that brings families, students and Center School staff together. We will provide pizza (including a gluten-free option). Please bring your own beverages.

We can’t wait to see you!

Halloween Party:

The school will host its annual Halloween party on Friday, October 27th. Students have received their supply assignment and should also bring in a non-perishable canned or boxed food item.  Students should wear regular clothes to school that day, but bring in their costume to change into at lunchtime.

If you have questions, please reach out to your student’s advisor.
