Dear Center School Families,

What an incredible and busy week at Center School! Our fall season has been filled with so many wonderful moments, and this week was another reminder of what makes our school community so special.

We enjoyed some amazing celebrations, including the PTO Trunk or Treat, our Harvest Parade, and the classroom celebrations that brought so much excitement, laughter, and joy to our students.

A huge thank-you to our PTO, staff, families, and volunteers who helped make these experiences so memorable for our children. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm truly make a difference!

As we head into Halloween weekend, I wish all of our families a fun-filled, festive, and safe celebration. Enjoy the time together, make wonderful memories, and have a fantastic weekend!

Please be reminded that there is no school on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.  

Please check out the attached flyer and consider donating to the Ellington Human Services' Food Drive next month. These donations will help support the Porch to Pantry program which is available to families experiencing food insecurity in our community. The link to sign up for weekly food deliveries from the Porch to Pantry program is here.

Check out the Academic Enrichment @ Center.  We have added a Math Club option.  

Check out our PTO 2026-2027 Updates!

Have an excellent weekend.
