From the Principal

Dear Centennial Families,

As the announcement of school closing for the remainder of the school year affects us all, I too am grappling with the reality of it, particularly more this week. However, I am optimistic as teachers, PTA, and everyone that loves our Comets are coming up with ideas to make the end of this school year special. On our agenda so far are virtual celebrations of our fifth grade students, Field Day, end of the year assembly and recognitions, virtual bump up day and all that apply to ending this school year strong. We will keep you posted, so help us keep our Comets motivated and stay connected! We thank you so much for your continued commitment to remote learning! We appreciate all of your efforts and know that it's not easy!

We ask that each family take a minute to update us with their plans for next year. This year, it is especially important that we have returning information on ALL students (see details below).

Sincerely,

Mrs.Stewart

Principal
