Wow, what an opportunity for our students over the last two weeks! It has been a pleasure as we partner with the National Sports Center and take advantage of the Schwan Super Rink and their newly renovated Gymnasium. For so many students it was a first opportunity to slide across ice with a pair of skates. For those that have skated before, it was a chance to continue developing their skills and partner up with a buddy and coach them along. Their gym experience included volleyball, basketball and active learning stations for skill development. The trips to the NSC for our kids on April 15, 16, 23 and 24 allowed for a more conducive environment for our third and fourth grade students to quietly prepare for and take their Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment each morning.     

Thank you to the many volunteers who supported students in tying skates and participating in the experience. Also, thank you to our third and fourth grade families for coaching your students to do their best on the MCAs, getting a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast before heading off to school. Your efforts and partnership are appreciated! 

Finally, thank you to our awesome PTO volunteers for purchasing and delivering snacks for our students to eat during the MCA testing.    

Take Care,

School staff will soon be looking at classroom placement for the upcoming 2019-20 school year. Assigning students to homerooms requires careful planning by the staff. A great deal of thought will go into placing children into classes for the next school year. In creating class lists, the following factors are taken into account for developing balanced homerooms:  

• Gender                       
• Specific student combinations
• Equity                         
• Leadership
• Learning styles         
• Academic skill level 

Although new students are added as they register during the summer, once the lists are developed, we will keep changes to a minimum so as not to upset the balance of homerooms. 

If you have specific input regarding your child that you would like our staff to consider as we create homeroom groupings, please fill a parent input form, they available in the office. All Parent Input Forms are due by Friday, May 10, 2019. Specific teacher requests will not be accepted unless you have met with the principal.  

We promise to take into account any input you may have, and we can assure you that this process receives much time and effort by our staff. Each child is given special consideration when developing our educational program. Please feel free to call the school office if you have any questions.  

Take Care,

From the health office:

Due to the change in weather and all the melting happening on our playground, there are more and more puddles appearing. With all the puddles, the health office is running very low on pants, socks and shoes.

If you have any donations, please drop them off in the main office.

Elastic waist pants are preferred as it fits a variety of sizes and is free of snaps/buttons/zippers, which can be difficult for some students.

I am not accepting T-shirts or sweatshirts at this time due to storage issues.

Thank you,

Shelly Olson LPN
Health Specialist

Next week at Centerview Elementary we will be participating in Minnesota’s Severe Weather Awareness Week, which runs through the week of April 8. The Severe Weather Awareness Week campaign helps teach Minnesotans about weather hazards and provides resources to minimize the risks associated with severe weather.    

Each day of the week teachers will focus on a different topic:

• Monday — Alerts and Warnings 
• Tuesday — Severe Weather, Lightning and Hail 
• Wednesday — Floods 
• Thursday — Tornadoes (with statewide tornado drills) 
• Friday — Extreme Heat  

Two statewide tornado drills are planned, with the first one taking place on Thursday, April 11 at 1:45 p.m. Centerview will be postponing this drill until Friday, April 12. The drill will allow our school to practice our sheltering plans to be sure all staff and students are aware of the building procedure and expectations. The second drill on April 11 will be at 6:55 p.m. and is voluntary for families across the state.      

Learn more about the 2019 Severe Weather Awareness Week here.
