How or where do you like to volunteer? My family and I are looking forward to helping with different events through CPTA and other events through the school.

Why did you decide to volunteer? We are new to the community and saw connecting with the school, and CPTA, as a great opportunity to meet people and give back.

What is your favorite part about volunteering? We like to make volunteering a family event and get everyone involved.

• Interested in volunteering in a classroom, library, or with one of our wonderful events throughout the year?
• Complete the below survey and we will reach out with opportunities throughout the year.
• Opportunities vary in time commitment and can be weekly, monthly, as needed/available basis.
• Volunteer Survey

If you pick up or drop off your child at school, please help us by filling in both lanes coming off of Main Street and then zipper merging after the last driveway without blocking the driveway.

The Centennial Area Food Shelf Powerpack Program supports families by sending home a weekend bag of breakfast items, individual meals, and snacks for school-age children. Power packs are delivered discreetly to students participating in the program. interested in receiving Powerpacks for your student(s)? Please contact your student's school to enroll.

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. If an emergency situation should occur in our schools, Centennial uses the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) in partnership with our local police departments to help ensure clear communication and action by staff, students, and families. Staff and students will be trained throughout the school year on the procedures.

If an emergency arises, the District will first ensure our students and staff are safe, and once the District has accurate information, a communication will be sent to families by email and text, depending on the preferences you have indicated. Messages will reference the response protocols below.

We ask families to support the safety priority, be patient, and not call the school office or text your student during an emergency situation. We need to keep networks clear for emergency information. (Training/discussions led by your student’s teacher) will take place throughout the school year, beginning on Monday, September 25, 2023

Five Emergency Categories and Actions:

• Hold (Hold inside the classroom): Used when there is an incident inside the school when hallways need to be cleared due to a medical emergency or a spill. Learning continues as usual.
• Secure (No one allowed in or out): Used when there is an incident outside the school such as an emergency in the neighborhood or a wild animal on the playground. Learning continues as usual.
• Lockdown (Locked classrooms): Used when there is a dangerous situation inside or close by the building. An additional option for students and staff who cannot access a locked room is to evacuate and be transported off-site for reunification with families.
• Evacuate (Move to a safe location): Used for fire or when threat inside the school and the building is in “lockdown.”
• Shelter (Shelter for safety): Used if there is bad weather such as a tornado or hazardous situation.

More information on SRP and student training can be found on the Centennial website.

Questions? Please contact the school’s office.
