I wanted you all to see what your staff is doing...missing you! Enjoy your weekend, everyone and stay healthy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hg_Nvqfp4g

Mrs. McDonald shared this today! We have some amazing kids at Center Drive. Remember, if you would like to be added to the meal list, send me an email. We love seeing the faces of our kiddos in the windows.

Good Afternoon Teachers worked on report cards Monday. They have been printed and mailed. You should be receiving them soon. Please understand, this was done very quickly. If you see any mistakes, please contact me, j.marvin@cdsedu.org and I will make note of it to get fixed at a later date. I am also hearing that some people are not receiving emails. If this is the case, please contact me and I will attempt to get it fixed as soon as possible.

All meals have been delivered. Thank you so much to our kitchen staff, our bus drivers and our volunteers for all of their help! If you did not receive meals, please email the office and/or call and leave a message and we will be sure to get them to you on Friday. If possible, please leave a tote or cooler on your doorstep if you are not going to be home and we will leave them inside.

Just a reminder we are here until 6:00 passing out learning packets. Look for the red "Enter" sign to check in and your packet will be delivered to your car.

We will be delivering breakfasts and lunches during the time students are out of school. Food will be delivered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays beginning March 18th.

In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, AOS 47, The Dedham, Orrington and Airline Community Schools will be closed beginning Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 27th. More detailed information will be forthcoming this weekend.

Please see the message below from our PTG: Due to all of the unanswered questions related to the virus – We’ve decided it’s best to make the decision to postpone the beach ball. A new date will be determined by the PTG as soon as possible. Heidi Sanders – PTG President
