Mr. Macken's Message
Centerville Families
I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible partnership we share in supporting your children’s growth and success. This school year has already been filled with wonderful milestones, and your involvement and encouragement make all the difference.
The holiday season is a special time for reflection, connection, and rest. We hope you and your family enjoy a joyous and relaxing winter break filled with cherished moments together.
School will resume on Thursday, January 2nd, and we will be excited to see everyone back, refreshed and ready for the next chapter. Until then, I wish you a happy New Year full of health and happiness.
Go Cougars!
Mike Macken

cogAT Reports - Grades 2nd & 4th ONLY
In October, Centennial Schools administered the Cognitive Abilities Test to all of our current 2nd and 4th graders. Students are assessed in three domains to identify their strengths, which allows teachers to identify patters to help improve individualized instruction.
The cogAT results will be sent home, along with a letter detailing the information, on Monday, January 6, 2025.
