Centennial Middle School

Hello Centennial families,

We have just completed the first term of the school year and I cannot believe we are a quarter of the way through the year. Our students have done a great job starting the year and showing us what they know, while the staff continues to do what they can to support them. Our first-term grades will be mailed home at the end of this week, and it is a great time to discuss your student's progress with them. We just had conferences and it was great to see many of you, but if you were unable to make it I would encourage you to reach out to your student's teachers to discuss their progress.

This week we will also have our Veterans Day celebration on Thursday. Before the assembly, at 12:30 we will be hosting a small reception for all veterans that would like to join us. We are excited to have Captain Will Lennon, the Snohomish High School MCJROTC instructor, as our featured speaker. He has a great message for our students that we look forward to hearing on Thursday. We will also have no school on Friday as we observe Veterans Day.

Respectfully,

Josh Rosenbach

Principal

Athletes must pay for an ASB card and participation fee. The participation fee is $50 per sport with a maximum of $100 per year. This fee can be waived for students who have a current Free and Reduced Lunch Approval on file with the district. The athletic participation fee is due prior to the first contest. You can pay online or in person at the bookkeeping window. We accept cash, checks or cards at the school office.

At our final meeting in October club members carved pumpkins and made floral arrangements, then toasted the pumpkin seeds using a variety of different seasonings where they then enjoyed a taste test comparison!

Don't miss out on your opportunity to purchase a yearbook for 23-24 school year.

Yearbook sales will be open until November 23.

Absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with schoolwork, dealing with a bully, or facing some other potentially serious difficulty. Regardless of the reason, the effects are real. Once freshmen missed ten percent of school days, their odds of graduating dropped below forty percent.
