What's Happening at Log
In the coming weeks, a CONSIDERABLE amount of information will be coming your way. It is incredibly important that you read all eAlerts coming from Log College and/or the Centennial School District, as they will pertain to our reopening and how things will work. We have not included specific information about the reopening plan in this newsletter, as the district will be sending one unified newsletter out to all families that includes the Hybrid plan at all levels. If you would like to view the most current information available, we have included a link below that will navigate you to the district webpage that contains reopening information.
The teachers, staff, and administration at Log College are truly looking forward to seeing our students in person once again in the next few weeks!
Log Sports Update
A great effort by all of our student athletes! Keep fighting hard! Below are some photos from this week's games!

Medication & Health Supplies in the Health Room
You may drop off any medications or health supplies the week prior to the start of school from November 4-6. If this time is not convenient please contact the nurse to make arrangements for drop off.
If your child uses an inhaler or epi pen, please have your doctor fill out the action plan. Forms are available on our website under our school/nursing service/ forms. These forms must also be filled out if your child will be carrying. You may drop off, email or fax the form.

Documentation of a Tdap & Meningococcal immunization is mandated by the state and due now for all 7th graders. Please email, fax or drop off.

PIAA Eligibility
Now that the school year is under way as well as our sports seasons, the school runs weekly eligibility reports on all athletes. In addition to academic eligibility, students must meet attendance and behavioral guidelines for their continued participation in PIAA athletics. PIAA encourages the ideal of the 'student athlete,' which we wholeheartedly support. If you have any specific questions please feel free to contact Mr. Swartwood, Athletic Director, or Mr. Drago, Assistant Principal.
Attendance Procedures
Please be sure to turn in absence excuse notes within three (3) days of your child's return to school. Absences will remain unexcused until notes or turned in or if the three day window is exceeded. If your child has 10 or more cumulative days of absence, a doctor's note is required for all absences past 10 days.
Absence excuse notes can also be emailed to Log College at the following address:
For family trips during the school year, a Family Trip Request Form must be submitted to the Principal at least three (3) days prior to your trip. All requests submitted less than three (3) days prior will be denied.
Log College Middle School
Log College Middle School opened in September 1967 as a Junior High School serving seventh and eighth grade students. The school is named after the original school in Warminster, “Log College” established in 1727 by William Tennent, one of the original trustees of Princeton University. The school’s mascot is the Colonial in honor of the first Log College.
Log College became a Middle School in 1991 educating sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. In 2000 the school was recognized by the US Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School. Log College currently serves approximately 600 sixth through eighth graders.
