There is a special Board of Education meeting this Wednesday, January 7 at 6:00p in the Centennial library. The public is encouraged to attend.
We are so excited to return to learning together tomorrow, January 5, after Winter break . Take a moment this evening to set a goal with your student for their first week back. This is an important quarter filled with valuable growth. Try asking: "What is one learning goal you want to work on between now and Thursday?" This sets the tone for our return to school and all the great things that are ahead.
Come start the holiday break with a night of family fun at the Movie Night hosted by the Class of 2027. This Thursday at 6:00p in the Centennial Commons.
Reminder: There is a special Board of Education meeting tonight at 5 PM in the Centennial library. The regular Board of Education meeting will be on Wednesday at 7:30 PM in the library as well. The public is encouraged to attend.
