As you have heard, flu is running around and wreaking havoc in our region.
If your child is having any fever or vomiting, they should stay home until symptom free for 24 hours.
The Klinger Nurse’s office does not keep cold and cough medicine in stock. If your child requires over the counter medicine, we advise they take it prior to the school day.
The best way to prevent any type of spread of germs is hand washing. Stress the importance of hygiene to keep ourselves healthy and able to learn!
Medical Information:
Physical Form - All incoming 6th grade students are required to provide the school nurse with a physical examination record.
Dental Form - All incoming 7th grade students are required to provide the school nurse with a dental examination record.
If your child has tested positive for Covid-19, please note the start date of symptoms. Positive students should remain home for 5 days from symptom onset and then may return to school and wear a mask days 6-10.
A parent/guardian should notify the attendance line that their student will be absent, and their planned return date.

Family Trips Scheduled During the School Year
Although the scheduling of family trips during the instructional year is not encouraged, the Centennial School Board recognizes that students may benefit educationally by accompanying their parent(s)/guardian(s) on trips. Principals are permitted to approve up to five (5) days for students. Any trip beyond five (5) days will need the approval of the Superintendent.
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) who are requesting approval for a family trip need to complete and submit the attached form to their building principal at least three (3) days before the trip.

In response to parent suggestions, last year the district began accepting absence notes electronically. While you may certainly continue to submit written notes, parents are encouraged to submit absence notes via e-mail.
Below you will find some details.
Please know you will still receive automated phone calls
on the days your child is absent from school.
Please use this email: KLAttendance@centennialsd.org
to report your child absent from Klinger.
E-Mailing Attendance Notes
- Parents with children in Klinger may e-mail attendance notifications/notes to the following address: KLAttendance@centennialsd.org
E-mail notifications are encouraged on the morning of the absence day. However, e-mailed absence notes may be sent on the day following the absence.
When sending an absence notification please include the following information:
Child's Name
Child's Grade
Date(s) of Absence
Reason for Absence
Contact Phone # for Parent/Guardian
Other Pertinent Information
While you may still continue to call the school on the day of absence, a follow-up e-mail or a written note is still required for the absence to be excused.

Chromebook Chargers
Please make sure students charge their Chromebooks when they get to 15%. Please do not wait until they get down to zero.
If they need a replacement charger, they can buy them from our tech department or go on Amazon.
Chromebook tip: Charge the Chromebook before your student goes to bed. A full battery will last your student all day.
Chromebook Guidelines
The following are general guidelines to care for your HP Chromebook.
Charging (This is the MOST Important!)
The Chromebook’s display is a sensitive component. If you drop your Chromebook,
slam the lid shut, and/or expose it to excessive pressure or weight, it may crack. Make sure
you don't have anything between the screen and keyboard as you close the case.
Don't place items on top of your Chromebook as the weight can cause damage to the
screen. Always keep magnetic devices away from your Chromebook.
Always close the Chromebook lid prior to moving it.
