Student Schedules will be available in Skyward on August 12. (All Skyward Beginning of the Year information must be completed in Skyward to view your child's schedule. See Skyward section below for directions.)

In order to determine your child's lunch, please see below:

If your child's WIN Period is 3A, his/her Lunch is 1st (10:38-11:08)

If your child's WIN Period is 5B, his/her Lunch is 2nd (11:37-12:07)

If your child's WIN Period is 5C, his/her Lunch is 3rd (12:10-12:40)

While some students have teachers that meet with students on both teams, the majority of students will see only Team A or Team B teachers. The easiest way to determine your child's team is to identify his/her Social Studies teacher:

6A - Ms. Ball 6B - Mr. Stanfield

7A - Ms. Chase. 7B - Ms. Crognale

8A - Mr. Leiby. 8B - Mr. McManus

If your child is on the A team, he/she will have Mrs. Oessenich as his/her counselor.

If your child is on the B team, he/she will have Mr. Sayre until November, when Mrs. Brooks will resume her role as counselor.

Though school begins on August 28, you can start planning for the athletic season in advance.

Athletics:

In order for 7th/8th grade students to participate in our athletic program, each child must have a physical submitted prior to the first day of tryouts (tryouts typically begin during the first or second week of the school year).

PIAA sports physical -

• All students must have a completed PIAA physical (dated after June 1, 2024).

• Sections 1 to 5 within the PIAA sports physical packet must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian. Section 6 must be completed by an authorized medical examiner (family doctor, urgent care, minute clinic). You can ignore pages 7-8. Page 9 is only for students participating in wrestling during the winter season. The physical forms can be downloaded from the link - PIAA Physical Form - Updated 3/22/23

• You may also visit any of the Liberty Urgent Care Locations between now and the start of the Fall season, and they will honor our district’s price of $20.

Concussion Test completion

• Concussion tests are a baseline assessment that helps our coaches ensure the concussion safety of our students as they participate in sports throughout the season.

• Within the first few school days, each team will host an information session after school (from 3:00-4:15 p.m.). Concussion testing will be completed during these sessions.

• Following the session, late buses will also be available to return students home, or you may pick up your child.

• Going on a vacation/trip during the school year? Please fill out the district’s family vacation form Family Trip Form. (Must be submitted at least three days in advance of your trip; only five days per school year will be approved).

Attendance letters are automatically generated by the Skyward student management system on a weekly basis, based on student attendance reports. As we move through the year, the number of attendance letters generated increases a good deal. There are currently four types of letters generated weekly:

• 3-days of Illegal Absences
• 4-day SAIP letters
• 6-days of Illegal Absences
• 10 days of Cumulative Absences
  
  

Illegal absences simply mean that there is no accompanying parent note or doctor's note to excuse the absence. All absences default to illegal in Skyward until a note is received by our attendance office.

The three-day letter is considered a "warning" letter. After the four-day threshold is met, our school social worker will contact families to set up a SAIP (Student Attendance Improvement Plan) Meeting, where the absences are discussed and a plan to improve attendance is created. Once the six-day threshold is reached, other measures can be taken, as a student is considered "habitually truant" under the law. These COULD include fines in district magisterial court, Children and Youth involvement, or attendance diversion programs.

The 10-day letter is a cumulative letter meaning it counts both legal and illegal absences are counted. Once a 10-day letter has been generated, a 'licensed practitioner of the healing arts' must provide a note. That can include a doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, etc.

Absence notes must be turned in within three (3) days of your child's return to school. Absences will remain unexcused until notes or turned in or if the three day window is exceeded. Absence excuse notes can also be emailed to Log College at the following address: lcattendance@centennialsd.org

For family trips during the school year, a Family Trip Request Form must be submitted to the Principal at least three (3) days prior to your trip. All requests submitted less than three (3) days prior will be denied. Family Trip Form
