Dear Centennial High School Community,

On the eve of our first Student Progress Conferences of the year, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage all students to take advantage of the Tutorial classes that we offer each Monday to Thursday, 8:40 to 9:10am.  Though not mandatory, all students can benefit from taking this time to see whichever teacher they may want to connect with – to catch up, ask questions, or just work quietly.  The majority of our students are currently not accessing Tutorial time.  I am hopeful that parents and guardians can help me in reminding our students that this is a resource they should take advantage of as much as possible. 

Please read on for some important updates.

No Classes Friday, October 20

• As Student Progress Conferences are being held in person tomorrow evening and via Microsoft Teams on Friday, there are no classes this Friday – it is officially a Non-Instruction Day set aside for Student Progress Conferences
