Dear Families,
We are bursting with pride for our incredible students who recently competed at the Fort Henry Championship Run and for a great running club season! We’re so proud of our Comets for showing true grit and determination. Your hard work and commitment to your goals are inspiring! Congratulations to the Atom Girls team for their third-place team finish at the district cross-country meet. Un grand MERCI and Thank You to Mme. Wallis, Ms. Schukei, Ms. Blackburn and Ms. Farndon for your time and commitment, as well as our supportive families for being part of the journey.
We look forward to seeing families at our Centennial School Council event this Tuesday. The Fall Family Fun event will take place on Tuesday, Oct 28th from 5:30-7:30. Please note that students should be accompanied by an adult for this event. Thank you to our council members and volunteers for their hard work to make this event accessible to all in an effort to invite and celebrate our wonderful school community. See you soon!
Please see the important information in the Code of Conduct below. We appreciate you taking the time to review this at home with your child. These conversations are key to helping students understand what it means to be their best selves at school and beyond.
To our families of students with IEPs, thank you for returning the consultation logs to your child’s teacher. These working documents play a crucial role in building strong, individualized programs—and your input is deeply valued.
Please see the information below about how to order for our pizza hot lunch days as well as an employment opportunity with FCCC.
As the weather continues to change, we thank you for sending clearly labeled, weather-appropriate clothing (including extra items) with your children. Being prepared helps students stay comfortable, focused, and ready for learning and fun throughout the day.
Resources that support foundational literacy and math skills at home can be found through the links below!
Please reach out to the school if you have any questions, we are here to support you!
