New Arrival Procedures
Our mornings at Centennial Middle will look a bit different this school year. Upon arrival from a car (please do not drop off students before 8:10am), bus, or walking, students must head directly to get their breakfast from the closest cart and then take their breakfast to their STORM Center (1st class of the day) to eat. Students who do not eat breakfast at school will be expected to go directly to their STORM Center (1st class of the day) as soon as they arrive on campus. Loitering and gathering in the courtyard, in hallways, outside or inside will not be permitted.
To reiterate - as soon as you arrive on campus, you must report directly to a breakfast line, then to your STORM Center (1st class of the day), OR you must report directly to your STORM Center (1st class of the day).
As a reminder, our new school hours are 8:30am to 3:08pm. We will also not be having any Early Release Days for 1st semester.
