This is National School Psychologist Week, and we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on Center’s School Psychologists, Amelia Stern and Coryn Logue. Amelia and Coryn work with students that need extra support in academics, behavior, and social emotional development. We’re so glad they are part of our team!

Students & families: we know the government shutdown and loss of SNAP benefits may be creating challenges for families in our community. Please know:

⭐ The National School Lunch program is still running. Anyone who has applied and been approved for SNAP will continue to get free breakfast/lunches at school during the government shutdown.
⭐ The Free and Reduced meal application (FRAM) is still available through the Center School District Parent Portal and is still being processed and approved by the district.
⭐ Please reach out to the social workers, counselors, and administrators at your school if you have questions or need assistance.
