Special Notice about School Lunches
The federal funding program that provided free lunches for all students during the past two school years has ended as of June 30, 2022. Schools are returning to the previous procedures where families need to sign up to determine their eligibility for free or reduced price lunches.
It is important that ALL families complete the forms to determine their status for free or reduced lunches (even if you don’t qualify, it is important for you to complete the form to qualify Center for the maximum federal funding).
To fill out the form, go to the Parent Portal (you need to complete registration to have access to the Parent Portal). Here’s the link - Campus Portal Login (infinitecampus.org)
As an incentive for everyone to participate, Center will have a drawing to GIVE AWAY THREE LARGE SCREEN TELEVISIONS (50”) on the first day of school!!! Everyone who completes their on-line registration and fills out the lunch form by August 19th will be entered in the drawing.
NOTE: ALL Students will continue to receive FREE Breakfasts as part of our ongoing Breakfast in the Classroom grant.
We are excited to see all of our new and returning students and families for the 2022-2023 school year!

Juneteenth became an observed federal holiday June 17, 2021 in the United States. The federal holiday commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. During the April Board of Education meeting, the Board approved the Superintendent’s recommendation to include Juneteenth in federal holidays observed by the Center School District. This year will be the first year the district recognizes the holiday, and this observance will continue to be included in future district calendars. The holiday falls on Monday, June 20, 2022, therefore, Center’s schools and offices will be closed in observance of the federal holiday. Summer school will not be offered on Monday June 20, 2022.
Enjoy your summer break CSD. Please be safe and we will see you back in August! Thank you for all of your hard work this year. #CSD

Billee Potts who helps students at Indian Creek Elementary enhance behavior and social emotional skills earned May’s Employee of the Month for her focus on Lifetime Community and Family Centric Relationships. Each month CSD employees nominate peers who exemplify one of the CSD core values. The Core Values include: • High Expectations for Student Success • Safe and Respectful Schools • Lifetime Community and Family Centric Relationships • Highly Qualified, Diverse Staff • Diversity in Our Schools and Community The Hive Society, a staff collaboration, designed to promote a positive and vibrant work environment for CSD staff, recognizes a monthly District winner during the school year. “Ms. Potts received several nominations this month. Here is what her colleagues had to say about her: Ms. Potts is a fixture of the Center district in so many ways, it would be hard to conceive of it without her. Her community connections, her care for the scholars at Indian Creek (and beyond), her work to lead the Cheer team for the high school and the time she’s spent to build a family with the staff around her are all great reasons for her nomination. But I think most of all, her being a Center grad and giving back so much to the district speaks volumes about her character, her drive to create a better community, and to help build excellent young citizens who will build a better tomorrow.” Congratulations to Indian Creek's, Ms. Billee Potts!
