CSD Weekly Update

FROM THE OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION
Dear Parents & Guardians of K-8 Students,
After careful consideration, Centennial School District has made the decision to update its content filter to block student access to YouTube videos on all K-8 devices beginning August 27, 2025.
While YouTube can be used as a learning tool, we have found that it can also be a distraction for students. In addition, if students are unsupervised while accessing YouTube, they could inadvertently be exposed to inappropriate content. While students will not be able to access YouTube videos on their devices, teachers will still have access to YouTube to share content with students using their classroom projection system when educationally appropriate. Additionally, teachers may choose to whitelist specific educational Youtube videos for independent viewing to help students with extension/ remediation at home. In that instance, only teacher-approved YouTube resources will be accessible.
If you have any questions regarding this update scheduled for August 27, 2025, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your continued support,
Dr. Kristin Herman
Director of Technology & Innovation

COMMUNITY EVENTS
CENTENNIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT eFOLDER
Each year, more and more people and organizations are turning to our District to help get the message out about various activities, events, fundraisers, etc. The intent of this process is to support student achievement and to provide mutual assistance and benefit through shared information. Our district spends a great deal of time collecting, reviewing, and posting flyers to the District eFolder. The District no longer is posting eFlyers to any social media outlets or the District cable channel. You may refer to Policy 913 for additional information.
Please click on this link to connect with all the community eFlyers of the month
