The Centennial spirit could be found in schools across the district to celebrate homecoming!

If so, you must opt in ANNUALLY to receive messages. Text "Y" or "YES" to 67587. You may opt out of these messages at any time by responding to one of our messages with "STOP."

Note: The District will text only emergency information. SchoolMessenger is compliant with the Student Privacy Pledge, so be assured your information is safe and will never be given or sold to anyone. Terms and conditions: Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help; text STOP to stop.

Mark your calendar for the upcoming American Indian Education Parent Committee meeting on October 9. All meetings are held at Centennial High School, Room 435 from 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m.

The District has a reunification plan in place if a situation arises such as hazmat, fire, water main break, or other emergency in our schools which would prompt evacuation to an off-site location.

How will parents be notified?
Reunification information would be communicated to families by phone, email and/or text from the District Office depending on the communication preferences you have indicated. If reunification is needed, parents/guardians will need to bring an ID with them to the reunification site. It is unlikely parents/guardians will be granted access to the building by law enforcement or emergency responders to pick up their student.

View the video, below so you are prepared if your student needs to be picked up from an off-site location.

Students can have one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day through the state's Free School Meals for Kids Program. Students purchasing Ala Carte items must have a positive account balance.

Although no application is required to receive the free meals, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important. Your student may qualify for free and reduced benefits such as reduced fees at school. Follow the link to complete the application.
