Century Updates
October 12, 2020
Century Families,
Last week we hosted our very first Virtual Back to School Night. Thank you to all who attended. Watch for an evaluation coming your way in the near future. Teachers posted grades on Sunday and our new registrar will send those out shortly. This is a good reminder to all students and parents that the quarter (and periods 1-4) will end in four short weeks at which point students will earn .5 credit per class. Attendance and work completion matter as the next four weeks will fly by. We encourage parents to visit Parent Vue frequently to check on attendance and achievement in classes. If you have questions, connect with your student’s teachers.
SRO Survey:
This summer our district collected community, family, student, and staff feedback on your personal experiences with School Resource Officers at HSD schools. Due to the summer timing of when this survey was administered, we received responses from less than 5% of our student population. It is important to us as a district and community that we ensure any decision about our SRO program partnership is responsive to our students’ needs and therefore we will be readministering the student survey between October 7th and 12th during advisory.
Signing Up For AP Exams:
If your student is taking an AP course, it’s time to sign up for AP exams. Currently exams are $95. Jeremy Corwin, our AP Coordinator will be available from 7-8am at this week’s Chat It Up to answer questions about how to sign up. For information about signing up, here are the links:
Booster Club is a group of parents that support the high school in any way we can. Our monthly meetings, held on the second Wednesday of the month, are attended by the Principal, the Athletics Director, and the Activities Director. Each of them give an update to keep us informed of what’s happening at our school and answer any questions we may have.
Check out our current Century gear inventory here. To place an order, email us at centuryjagsboosters@gmail.com.

NHS:
Letters went home three weeks ago inviting juniors who were eligible for NHS to join. This letter contained information on joining our NHS Google Classroom page, filling out the application to join, and paying the $10 annual dues at the Century Webstore. The link to the Induction Ceremony Video was sent out after school on Monday, October 12th. If you did not receive a letter but know you should have, please contact Ms. Koch at kochbr@hsd.k12.or.us.
The first virtual NHS meeting of the school year is Thursday, October 15th, from 3:25 - 3:55pm. Please make sure you have joined the Google Classroom for more information.
In March, sophomores who qualify to join NHS will receive an invitation. The Induction Ceremony will follow in April. Please contact Ms. Koch with any questions.
Welcome back Roger Will!
In Ms. Guise’s absence, former CHS counselor, dean and assistant principal (and current RA Brown MS principal) Roger Will has been named support principal. Roger will split his time between BMS and CHS. Dean of Students Jeremy Corwin will also temporarily serve as assistant principal. Congratulations Mr. Corwin and welcome back to our school, Mr. Will.
Chat It Up:
We want to offer an opportunity for our students and families to ask questions with our administrative team. We will have an open hour twice a week where people can drop in and chat. We invite you to join us!
