From the Desk of Mr. Sondag
Dear Center-Stanton Families,
In our busy world, our minds and bodies can get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle, and may have a hard time slowing down. It is also easy to get stuck thinking about things from the past or in the future, while forgetting to focus on the here and now. We all start out with a healthy ambition to accomplish and grow our abilities. Sometimes along the way when things don’t seem to come naturally to us, it is easy to give up.
We can’t! We need to think positively and persevere. Anyone who excels in their field has come upon hard times. They succeeded because they persevered and learned through positive experiences.
CSES POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION & SUPPORTS:
The Teachers/Staff and Administration are continuing PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) in our school, as a way to encourage our students to promote positive behavior, kindness, and generosity toward each other. PBIS recognizes that students can only meet behavior expectations if they know what the expectations if they are known in advance. Everyone learns appropriate behavior and common language will be used when it is discussed in individual classrooms. By implementing PBIS, this school-wide approach to behavior focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn.
• Student + Parent +School + Community = SUCCESS
• Wildcats are… Kind + Responsible +Safe +Positive +Respectful = READY TO LEARN
The children are our future. We are role models for them. We owe our children the gift of love, time, and the ability to persevere. Wishing you a happy Fall season. I hope you find time to do everything that is important to you and your family.
Mr. Sondag

Facebook and Live fans, I am excited to announce that Center-Stanton Elementary School is off of Comprehensive Support from NDDPI.
We have great news! Students and Staff have been working hard to improve our test scores. When I arrived at CSES in 2018, we were already placed in CSI and labeled as a school in the bottom 5% of schools in ND as a result of our State test scores. I am very excited to provide you a copy of the letter received from NDDPI removing CSES from Comprehensive Support.
English Language Arts -
18-19 School Year = (State Avg = 47%) (CSES = 30.56%) Proficent
21-22 School Year = (State Avg = 42%) (CSES = 44.26%) Proficent
(13.7 % Gain) (Above the State Average) (Top 50% of schools in ND)
