There will be an educator parade this Saturday, April 25 starting at 10:00am. Centennial teachers and staff will drive the bus routes to wave at our families who are practicing safe, social distancing. The educator parade will begin at the top of Liz' bus route in El Rito at 10.
The parade will follow the route to Chama and then through the Town of San Luis. The parade will then move west along the bus route towards Old and New San Acacio, and will follow the bus route to Mesita, Jaroso, and end in Garcia just before noon.
Feel free to stand on your porch, come to the end of your driveway or wave from your yard as we pass.
We want to thank you for all you have done during this unusual time, and we look forward to ending the year with a continued focus on the successful learning of each student. This parade is meant to reconnect us as we enter the final weeks of the school year. Go Rams!

Good afternoon Centennial Families,
It is with heavy heart and a deep commitment to the health and well-being of our community that we must announce that school will be closed to in-person learning for the remainder of the year. Students will continue their remote learning through the end of the scheduled school year. In a meeting this morning, Governor Polis announced this closure to the state superintendents. Please, login to our website, app, or Facebook page to read the letter from Superintendent Melster discussing this action.
Preschool Registration for the 2020-21 school year begins next week. Come pick-up your registration packet at any grab and go meal location on Monday, April 27. Registration packets must be returned to the grab and go locations on Monday, May 4. See flier for details.
Good evening Centennial families:
We have extra milk available this week. Please, come by the school from 8:30-9:30 tomorrow morning to pick up milk. This is a special milk distribution this Tuesday, tomorrow, from 8:30-9:30 at the school. Come get some extra milk this week!
To login to the wifi, go to "Centennial School R1 Guest" and enter the password: t*yB2%nFNSri
The login/password information will be part of the materials pick-up next Wednesday.
Good afternoon Centennial families:
We have recently installed a booster antenna to the school to provide wifi for students to use in our school parking lot. This signal may reach to some parts of San Luis close to the school as well. To access it, just look for "Centennial School Wifi Guest." With a charged laptop or Chromebook, students will be able to access Zoom meetings, work on assignments in Odyssey, or access their Google classroom resources.
We are still trying to get hotspots for families, but there is reliable wifi in the school parking lot now.
Tonight's Special Board Meeting will be held via Zoom. The action item on the agenda tonight is in response to the pandemic and includes: Adoption of resolution granting emergency powers and suspend policies.

Attention Centennial Families: There will be no meal pick-up on Monday, April 13 because of the Easter Monday Holiday. There will be a special meal pick-up on Tuesday, April 14 at the same times and locations. We will return to regular meal and material pick-up/drop-offs on Wednesday, April 15. Please, return the bags that materials came in on Tuesday, so we can refill them for Wednesday; however, do not return your student's work until Wednesday when you pick-up the new assignments. Thank you and stay safe!

Good evening Centennial families,
Tomorrow will be the first time each family is dropping off completed work for their children. To make this process as smooth as possible, we will drop off assignments at the same time we pick-up new materials for this week. If you have been contacted about checking out a Chromebook, this week's materials will need to be picked up at Centennial, so you can sign a technology check-out form. To make this process as smooth as possible, please follow these steps for your pick-up location:
If you are picking up meals and/or materials in Chama, El Rito, San Acacio, or Garcia, bring all completed assignments to your meal pick-up and put them in the box the cooks have. They will then give you your materials for this week.
If you are picking up at Centennial, pull around the school after you get your meals. There will be a black barrel to drop off your assignments in. While you drop-off the completed assignments, we will place the new assignments in your trunk. If you are checking-out a Chromebook, we will have you pull forward to complete the paperwork and then give you the assigned Chromebook. You will not need to get out of your vehicle at anytime, which will help us all practice safe, social distancing.
On a separate note, third quarter report cards will be part of the material set next Wednesday.
Thank you for your continued patience as we transition to remote learning. We hope your children's learning experiences this week were engaging. We have established several systems to support you and your children during this time. These include regular phone calls from teachers, established office hours for students to contact their teachers with questions about their assignments, and integrating virtual platforms for live, video conferencing.
Many teachers will be using different virtual tools and platforms to deepen your children's learning this week. Most have scheduled Zoom meetings and other strategies to make sure your children are receiving the instruction and supports they need to be successful. Be sure to reach out to teachers during their office hours if you or your child need assistance. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, you can also let us know during your teacher phone check-ins or reach out to the school directly.
Tonight's Board of Education Meeting will be held via Zoom. It is open to the public, and we will have our public to be heard section. To join this meeting virtually, use this link: https://zoom.us/j/795347615
