Cub Connections- CTE

Dear CTE Families:

One thing we value as educators here at Centennial Elementary is our partnership with families. We are so excited to have our fall conferences this Thursday, October 10th and next Tuesday, October 15th. Conference links are closed now, so if you have not yet scheduled a time, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

Our time together is a short 15 minutes, so please ensure you are on time for your child’s conference. Teachers are scheduled back to back all evening long, so if you are late you will not be able to be squeezed in. A phone conference will need to happen at a later time.

This conference time is a great opportunity to check in on how your child is doing academically and social/emotionally/ behaviorally, and how to partner to ensure your student is highly supported by all this year.

Check out the photos below of incredible events happening at Centennial Elementary!

All my best,

Jen

100% of funds raised go back to CTE. CEPO is in our fund collecting phase of the fiscal year and in early 2025 we will determine how much we are able to donate to playground improvements.

Please let CEPO (teamCEPO@gmail.com) know if you have any questions.

Thanks for supporting CTE and CEPO!
