Centre School will be switching to the remote learning model on Monday, February 15th, and Tuesday, February 16th. This is due to the anticipated severe weather conditions that will be impacted by ice, snow, and extremely low temperatures. Students are being sent home today with their computers, ipads, and any materials that they will need for those two days of remote learning. Teachers have provided students with zoom links to their classes. Students are expected to remote into their classes on time, as these will be counted as two regular school days even though they are at home. Please stay warm, stay, safe, and use extreme caution in the anticipated severe weather. Please watch for additional information we will send out concerning the date next week when students may return to the school building.
