Good evening Centre Parents and Students:
The USD 397 Board of Education met in a special board meeting this evening to discuss recent Covid-19 positive cases and possible exposure impacting Centre School. To ensure the well-being of all students and staff, the board voted to move PreK-5 classes to remote learning beginning Monday, December 7th thru December 18th. There will be no school Thursday and Friday, December 3rd and 4th for grades PreK-5. Students in grades 6-12 will continue to remote into their classes as scheduled. Additional information will come from your student's teacher detailing the remote learning process.
Based on what we know today, the plan is for students in all grades, PreK-12, to return to the school facility to receive in-person instruction on Monday, January 4th, 2021. Any changes to this plan will be communicated before January 4th.
Please contact Susan Beeson, PreK-5 Principal, at email address: sbeeson@usd397 or 6-12 Principal, Trevor Siebert at email address tsiebert@usd397.com for additional assistance.

Special Board Meeting Notice
Centre's Junior High and High School students orr parents who are not currently in quarantine, can come up to the school at any time today to pick up supplies, homework, books, and instruments for the next couple weeks. Teachers and staff have worked hard this morning to gather up everything that we think that your student will need in the next couple weeks of remote learning. Please either call when you drive up to the school or ring the doorbell, and we will be glad to bring the supplies to you. Students who are not currently in quarantine will be allowed to come into the building and clean out their gym lockers if they have one.
If your student at Centre is learning remotely, they are still eligible for free breakfast and lunch. They will sign up remotely with their first hour class as they remote in for the day. We are unable to deliver meals at this time, as our school waiver does not provide for that service. Meals can be picked up curbside at 11:45 each morning. We ask that if you do sign up, please make sure to pick up the meals so that food does not go to waste.
This is the Centre class bell schedule for 6th thru 12th grades. As students remote in, please remind them to be prompt. They are expected to remote in each and every class period.
Athletic practices and games are cancelled until students return to school.

Centre Parents and Students:
A special Centre Board meeting was held this evening concerning the increase in Covid-19 symptoms experienced among our students. In our effort to provide safety to all and gain time to mitigate the spread of virus, the Centre Board of Education voted to move JH/HS classes to a remote learning delivery model, beginning on Monday, November 16th thru November 30th, 2020. Tomorrow, Friday, November 13th, will be a non-school day for 6th -12th grade.
Mrs. Terri Bina will contact students to get a list of items, books, supplies, and resources needed for learning. At that time, Mrs. Bina will also provide a time for parents/students to pick-up the items at curbside in front of the school.
The board will reconvene on Monday, November 30th, to re-assess the level of risk for students.
Elementary classes, grades PreK-5, will continue face to face instruction at Centre School.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and wish you good health.
