Center Valley Elementary

Our November Word of the Month is Responsibility!

Building responsibility starts with small, everyday habits. We’ve attached a simple family responsibility chart to help your child practice taking ownership, helping at home, and following through on tasks. Give it a try this week! Small steps help build lifelong skills. 💙🖤🐾

Another busy month ahead!

Happy October!
