Cooler Weather Is Coming! Outerwear Guidelines & Uniform Store

As temperatures begin to change, we want to remind our CA families of our outerwear expectations! Any outerwear worn inside the building or classrooms must be solid navy blue or black, with no logos or designs other than Centennial Academy branding. Scholars may wear coats of any color outdoors; however, coats may not be worn inside the building or classrooms unless they are solid navy blue or black.

Need to stock up? Our CA hoodies, zip-up jackets, and crewneck sweatshirts are available for $30 each in our online uniform store!

Weekly Order Pickup: Orders placed by Wednesday at close of business will be ready for pickup at the HERO Desk on Friday after 12:00 PM.

Thank you for helping our scholars stay warm, comfortable, and in uniform!

Homecoming Coronation

Join Us for the Centennial Academy Coronation Ceremony!

Get ready for an unforgettable day as we celebrate the crowning moment at the Centennial Academy Coronation Ceremony. This in-person event brings everyone together for a joyful and memorable experience. Don’t miss out on the fun, the excitement, and the chance to witness something truly special.

See you there! Get Your Tickets Here! - A LIMITED AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL TICKETS WILL BE RELEASED MONDAY!

SPECIAL NOTE: Guest Attire

To help us create an elegant and memorable experience for our scholars, guests are encouraged to dress in business casual or cocktail attire for the Centennial Academy Homecoming Coronation.

Please note that aisle seating will be reserved for guests dressed in business casual/cocktail attire, as these areas will be prominently featured in official event photography and videography.

We appreciate your partnership in helping us create a polished and celebratory atmosphere worthy of this special occasion!

Parent Volunteerism

ALL parents and guardians who wish to volunteer, chaperone field trips, assist with school events, or otherwise be inside the building and around scholars must complete the APS security clearance process. Background checks done prior to this school year are not valid. The level three security clearance must be completed in person at the APS CLL Building once scheduled by our HR department. Please contact Mr. Brewer who will work with HR to schedule your appointment.

Attendance Polooza

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible Centennial Academy families for making sure that your scholars were present during the month of September. Nationally it’s Attendance Awareness Month and because of your scholars showing up everyday, we were able to celebrate them with a K-2 Day Party and a day at Main Event for our 3-8 scholars. We will have more exciting things happening and hope to see your scholar in school everyday!

Fall Picture Day

Fall Book Fair

Fall Festival

Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat

CA Families, get ready for some fall fun! Our upcoming Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat is right around the corner, and we need our Crew to help make the celebration a success.

There are three ways to get involved: volunteer to help work the Fall Festival/Trunk or Treat, donate individually wrapped candy for our Candy Wars competition, and donate pumpkins for our Literacy Pumpkin Walk. Candy Wars is officially on, so let’s see which classroom can collect the most candy and earn a class party! Pumpkin donations begin October 1, and decorated Literacy Pumpkin Walk entries are due October 29 (for classroom teachers).

Please review the attached flyers for all the details and sign up to volunteer below. Let’s make this a fun, festive, and memorable celebration for our Heroes!
