Principal's Welcome Letter

July 2024

 

Dear Parents/Guardians:

 

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year. As we start the new school year together on Monday, August 19, 2024, the staff at Centennial Elementary School looks forward to collaborating with you and your child. Our Centennial staff strongly believes that the education of children is a partnership between the home and the school, and that parent involvement is crucial to the success of our students. Please mark August 15, 2024, Back to School Night from 5:30-7:00 pm when you will meet our staff and receive valuable information about the coming school year.

 

The Centennial Elementary office will extend their hours on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, for registration. The office will be open through 7:00 PM.

Class lists will be posted Thursday, August 15, 2024, on the cafeteria and/or office windows. These lists will indicate your child’s teacher and room number. No room changes will be made prior to Tuesday, September 10, 2024. Please note that due to the possible enrollment changes we may need to create or collapse classrooms. There is a possibility that your child may be moved to a different class. We will contact you if this occurs.
