Veterans Day
Alateen
The Log College Middle School Guidance Department will be sponsoring a virtual Aateen group that will meet weekly throughout the school year. Alateen is a group for students that have a loved one in their lives that struggles with alcohol or substance abuse. This is an extremely private group that is conducted by trained facilitators and is run by participating students.
If interested please contact either of the school counselors, Mr. Sayre, sayrbr@centennialsd.org (215.441.6075 X14031) or Mrs. Rudenko, rudeja@centennialsd.org (215.441.6075 x14030)
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.

All medication taken during school hours must be dispensed by the school nurse. For further information, please see Centennial School District Policy 210-USE OF MEDICATIONS.
