🧠 Behavior Focus: Completing & Submitting Work on Time!
This week, we’re practicing how to finish it, check it, and turn it in. Building this habit strengthens responsibility and confidence!
Try these quick games at home:
🎯 Race the Timer – Finish a small task before time’s up.
🗣 Say the Steps – “Finish it. Check it. Turn it in.”
📅 Due Date Game – Ask later, “When is it due?”
Small, playful practice makes a big difference! 💙🐾

🦷✨ Celebrating National Children’s Dental Health Month at Center Valley Elementary! ✨🦷
We were proud to celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month in a special way this year! The McElroy family applied for and received a grant on behalf of Center Valley Elementary to provide oral health kits for all of our K–4th grade students.
Because of their initiative, our students went home with resources that promote healthy smiles and lifelong healthy habits.
Thank you to the McElroy family for investing in our students and supporting Center Valley! 💙🐾

Another tournament for the CVE Robotics teams this past weekend. This time we traveled to Bethel Middle School and played amazingly! Both teams made it to the finals and the 4th grade team came home as the Teamwork Champions. This win includes an invitation to the State Robotics Tournament on March 9th.






🧠 Working Memory Focus This Week: Stop – Sort – Plan!
This week, we’re practicing organizational skills at school using the strategy Stop – Sort – Plan — and you can try it at home, too!
✅ STOP – Pause and talk about what needs to be done.
✅ SORT – Put tasks into categories (now, later, done).
✅ PLAN – Make a simple checklist or schedule together.
Small daily practice builds big lifelong skills!
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success!

January Dates to Remember

On Thursday, Jan. 15th, we will have our annual Book Character Parade. All students and staff are encouraged to dress as a favorite book character and carry the book as we parade through the halls at 8:15. Kindergarten and 1st Grade classes will gather in the Dining Hall following the parade, where they will go on stage and introduce themselves. (Students may want to bring a change of clothes and save Dr. Seuss costumes for Dr. Seuss Day in March.)

We are proud of all of our Spelling Bee participants and congratulations to our finalists!👏🏻🐝

The CVE Robotics team competed in their first tournament of the season on Thursday, December 11th. They performed well, had fun, and came back with new ideas for the robot.




Thank you Cyclone Softball Team for greeting our students this morning! #funfriday🤗

Don't forget Spirit Week next week!🎄

Thank you to Jane's Blessings and K's Junktique for donating prizes for our staff Ugly Sweater Contest!
