As we enter the 2020-2021 school year with all students learning remotely, we have scheduled days and times for parents to pick up materials that students will need in order to begin instruction on August 12.

On Thursday, August 6 (3:00-7:00 PM) or Friday, August 7 (7:00-11:00 AM) please come through the front carpool carpool lane to pick up the following items:

Chromebook & charger-All students in grades K-5 will be issued a Chromebook (required by the district as an essential resource for instruction and assessment). For those who need a ChromeBook for the 20-21 school year, please complete this required form in advance.

EnVision Student Book math book 1 (K-5) and HMH myBook 1 (1-5)- If your student(s) already has a Chromebook you still need to come to pick up other grade level material to start the school year.

As a reminder, all students will be learning at home from August 12 through September 8 (regardless of Face-to Face or School@Home selection). Unless there is a district-wide extension of remote learning, we will be ready to welcome the students who opted for Face-to-Face learning back to campus on Wednesday, September 9.

1. We ask that each vehicle have a sign with the Student Name and ID # and Grade Level. Please have this taped to the passenger side window and in a large, dark font to make it easy for staff to read from the curb as you pull up to the station. You may use this template if you wish.
2. In an effort to make the process efficient for all, please open your trunk and we will place materials inside the trunk of your vehicle.
3. This process will occur in the front of the school (car pool lane). Please pull forward and allow spacing in between cars. After your pickup is complete, please continue forward to exit. Please follow the direction of Centennial staff members while on campus to assist with the flow of traffic.
4. During this process, all Centennial Staff will be following safety protocols and practicing social distancing. Masks and gloves will be worn when collecting/distributing materials.
5. Students and families will not be granted entrance into the building. All students and passengers will need to remain in their vehicles and open their trunks or provide access to their back seats at the assigned station. All interactions will be conducted curbside; we will need the ability to communicate through vehicle windows.

Thank you to all of our families for your patience and flexibility.

The following expectations for parents and students are in place when coming to Centennial to pick up materials:

• Please wear a face covering when picking up or returning student materials.

• Follow COVID-19 preventative practices as advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

• Please stay in your vehicle. Follow the curbside process provided below.

• Please do not come to the campus if you have been ill, if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days, or if you are currently under isolation/quarantine orders.

As you know we have the best of the best with our staff. They have a few more days of their summer break and have already reached out to us with great ideas and enthusiasm for the school year. As our teachers plan and work with their teams, they will develop plans that work for virtual, remote instruction for our start of the school year.
