We still have not received Online Emergency Procedure Card information from 40% of Centennial students. This is a critical situation. Without this information, the school will have no means of getting in touch with parents and guardians, should an emergency occur. If you haven't done so, please provide your Online Emergency Procedure Card information as soon as possible.
Please call the school if you need a hard copy of the emergency card. Please complete the information and return the emergency information to the Front Office.
College Essays
On Wednesday, October 11th, while freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are taking the PSAT, seniors are invited to meet with an English teacher who will provide feedback on students' college essays. English teachers will be available in the Media Center during the morning of October 11th starting at 7:30. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this one-time only offer.
Regularly scheduled classes will occur periods 4, 5 and 6. Students need to remember to bring their textbooks and other materials just like any other academic day.
Come out and support the Eagles!
Have a great weekend.
