Happy New Year and Welcome Back!
Here's hoping everyone in the Centennial Community enjoyed a very restful and memorable winter holiday, filled with great times reconnecting with friends and family. We are back in full swing with students learning and growing by leaps and bounds. All the best for a happy and healthy new year in 2019.
Kind Regards,

NOTES FROM THE FRONT OFFICE
Helpful Reminders...............
- If your child wakes up ill and/or with a fever, please keep him/her home and remember to call our Child Safe Line at 469-752-0700, option 3, to leave a message letting us know. Please speak clearly with your student's name, grade level and why they will be missing school. As this is voicemail, you may call at any time of the day (or night). This is also important if you are going out of town, or if your student will be tardy because of doctor or dentist appointments. When your student returns, please send a signed note by parent/guardian or a doctor's note stating why they were absent within 3 days of return.
- Lunches and other items forgotten at home can be left on the grade level shelf in the front foyer. Each grade level will check the shelf prior to lunch to deliver the item to your child. This should be used for the occasionally forgotten item, not everyday.
- If a last minute change of dismissal plans occur, please contact the front office prior to 2:00 PM at 469-752-0700. We cannot guarantee that your child will get the message if the phone call is received after 2:00.
- Early pickups must be before 2:15 PM.
