Letter from Principal Rosenbach

Dear Centennial Families,


It was great to see so many of you at our Start Up days this last week! If you didn't get a chance to purchase items in person, please remember you can do this online. Also, if you were unable to come to the Start Up days, please make sure to print and turn in to the front office a copy of the health form listed below. The staff is excited to get to know all of their new students and teach them this year.


The first day of school will be 7th grade only, as our fantastic 8th grade WEB leaders show them around this big new world and give them a chance to adjust before we get everyone in the building on Thursday, September 7th.


Picture day is on Wednesday September 13th and the retake day will be on November 1st. Students will receive their ID/ASB card the day their picture is taken. You can purchase pictures on the website below and we are also sending home a hard copy picture packet with your student on Friday the 8th.


On Monday and Tuesday, the 11th and 12th, we will be checking out materials needed for the school year including a set of textbooks that students keep at home, as well as a computer. Every student is expected to have a charged school computer with them at school every day. Devices brought from home are not allowed this year.


Get your laptop ready for school! After students have their computer checked out to them, they will first need to charge the device and then will need to logon to the computer. Students should charge their school computers every night and bring a fully charged laptop to school with them every day.


I look forward to serving our students and school community this year and having an awesome year together.


Respectfully,

Josh Rosenbach

Counselor's Corner


September 2023: Welcome to Middle School


Middle school is a time of emotional, physical, social and academic changes. Your child is learning and developing skills that will make it easier to adjust to the challenges of high school and beyond. Research shows that teens do better in school when their families are involved in their lives in and out of school. Read this month's Counselor's Corner to find out how to help.

1:1 devices and Technology Protection Plan information

Snohomish School District students will soon be provided with a 1:1 device to aid in their learning. This technology shift for the school district of providing every district student with a device (laptop, touch screen or iPad) will happen beginning with the 2023-2024 school year.


As part of the 1:1 device rollout, students will be expected to bring/have a district-provided device/laptop at school every day. All students will receive district-provided devices/laptops, and students should not bring personal devices/laptops from home. The district-provided device/laptop must be charged and ready to use for classroom learning each day. When students receive a district device/laptop at the start of the school year, the student will also receive information about the district’s Technology Protection Plan.
