Centennial Elementary
May 2019
Letter from the Principal
May 2, 2019
Dear Parents,
We are on the countdown to our last few weeks of school! This has been an incredible year! I am beginning to hear children say they are ready for the next grade. We too are to preparing for the end of the year activities here at Centennial!
We completed our first round of the STAAR testing in April. The students did a nice job taking their time with the test. The next round of STAAR testing is scheduled for the week of May 13. We ask that you please schedule all appointments for another week. Less interruptions in the front office where students are testing will provide the best testing environment for our students.
The week of May 6 is Staff Appreciation and we are honoring our fabulous hard-working staff! It’s a time for our students to show their appreciation for the wonderful teachers we have here at Centennial. Please do not forget about them. A simple card goes a long way!
Field Day is right around the corner on May 20. Thank you to all of our volunteers who have signed up to work that day. We could not make this day possible without our volunteers.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Sara Stewart
Principal

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 2:00 PM.
