Attendance Information
- For more detailed information, please refer to the student handbook.
- ATTENDANCE PHONE LINE: 208.855.4252
- Please use our attendance line to report any of your student ABSENCES or request a PERMIT TO LEAVE!! If you get the attendance voicemail, please leave a message, as the attendance secretary checks it regularly
If it is necessary for a student to leave campus, they must obtain a permit to leave from the attendance office. Failure to secure this permit will result in a major truancy as stated in the school handbook. In order to facilitate a student’s release, the ATTENDANCE OFFICE NEEDS AT LEAST ONE (1) HOUR NOTICE. A parent or guardian must call the attendance office prior to the student needing to leave. Notes will not be accepted. Please be advised that NO PERMITS TO LEAVE CAMPUS WILL BE MADE AND NO STUDENT WILL BE CALLED OUT OF CLASS 20 MINUTES BEFORE LUNCH AND 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY.
- If your student will not be attending Centennial this year, please make sure that you contact the registrar at nimmo.julie@westada.org to withdraw your student. Parents must sign a withdraw form with Centennial High to be withdrawn. If you are moving at a later date, you can still get the withdraw process started. It will help to get your student's correct grades into PowerSchool before the withdraw date. We want the students' transition to their new school to be smooth. Please return the laptop/charger, books, ID Badge, Parking Permit, pay monies due, and any other items to our bookkeeper at Centennial to avoid charges.

Applying for a transfer....
We have a new online transfer application process and no longer accept paper copies. Please go to West Ada School District website and click on the enrollment icon, off on the right it says in and out of district transfers. Click the + sign next to it and it will expand. You can apply for a transfer for 2023-2024 school year. Please remember that the deadline to apply for a transfer for next year is this April 1st, 2023. You will not be able to apply for a transfer for next year after this date. You need to apply for a transfer even if you attend Centennial now, but your boundary school is not Centennial. You do not automatically get to stay here at Centennial. Transfer applications are required every year.
You can no longer apply to transfer for 2nd semester as the window for second semester has closed.
