Last night, the Centennial Farmers Market at Klinger provided 200 families with groceries and produce. Many thanks to all of our staff and student volunteers, the Bucks County Opportunity Council, and our friends at the Warminster Food Bank. This month, the Warminster Food Bank provided 200 dry goods bags.

Congratulations to Mrs.Burke and Mrs. Regensburger's class on winning the Silver Spoon. One of our initiatives through Schoolwide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) is positive behavior in the lunchroom. Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Regensburger's classes have shown their PAWSOME behavior for the month of November. They were awarded a special table set up, lunch served, and a HUGE Silver Spoon to be held in the class for the month of December.

6th-grade students worked together in Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Flanagan’s classes at Klinger. This cross-curricular activity involved students flexing their math skills to create a delicious chex-mix. Students converted and measured to make sure the ratios of ingredients were correct so everyone had a delicious treat. After teams worked together to create their mix, students thought of a staff member that they had connected with last year and wrote them a card. Using the conventions and writing skills they have worked so hard on this school year, the cards they created brought joy to all the staff members they selected. The students did an amazing job on this collaboration, and the 6th-grade teachers can’t wait to plan another activity soon!

William Tennent High School's 6th Annual Slip and Slide was one for the books! From the biggest splashes to the best wipeouts, we had a blast raising money for the Special Olympics. Thank you to everyone who came out, got soaked, and showed their support!

In February 2026, Centennial School District, Warminster, Upper Southampton, and Ivyland Police Departments will launch a partnership with Bus Patrol, a school bus safety program in line with PA Motor Vehicle Code § 3345.1.

A fleet of 65 district buses has been modernized with advanced safety technology, including photo enforcement cameras to detect vehicles that illegally pass stopped school buses. This initiative aims to reduce dangerous driving behavior and enhance student safety. According to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS), school buses are estimated to unlawfully pass more than 45.2 million times each school year in the United States.

“At Centennial School District, student safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our partnership with BusPatrol helps protect children as they get on and off the bus and reinforces the importance of safe driving in our community,” said Jim Wertman, Director of Operations.

On Monday, December 22nd, musicians from the Log College Singers and the Log College Jazz Band performed holiday tunes for the residents of the Masonic Village at Warminster nursing home. The residents were delighted to hear the festive music and also received holiday greeting cards from Log College students!

As of 12/26/2025, we have completed a successful Classlink migration. As we return to teaching and learning in this new year, all students and families will see a new login portal for Classlink:

Student Login Credentials

Please select “Sign in with Microsoft” whether you are on a Chromebook or an iPad.

When students are prompted to enter a username and password to log into Classlink (on Chromebooks or iPads), they will need to utilize their entire email address, including the domain, as a username. This is a change from previous logins, where students could just use the first half of their email for their username.

• Example: For a student named John Smith graduating in 2038:

• Username: 38smitjo@stucsd.org

Students will continue to use their passwords and images as part of their log-in process. This will be a daily process for Chromebooks and a one-time process for iPads.

Student Troubleshooting

Sometimes, devices remember a previous login email that may not be connected to your account. If you are receiving an error message when trying to log into Classlink, consider troubleshooting by clicking the green "Microsoft Login" button on the top of your screen:

Family Login Credentials

Families will need to claim their accounts (if they have not done so already.) A stepper has been created to help with this. If you need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to submit an IncidentIQ ticket.

Hello CSD families!

The district has made the decision to discontinue Google Lens as an AI solution on student devices effective 1/5/2026. Students in Grades 6-12 will continue to have access to Google Gemini, which provides the same AI solutions as Google Lens but within an environment that can be better monitored and supported by our teachers and the Office of Technology. Students in Grades K-12 will continue to have access to Magic Student (when enabled by their teachers.) We continue to thoughtfully provide opportunities for our students to engage with emerging learning technologies in supported learning environments.

Teens are sleepy, so it's no surprise that the flashy, bright Alani and Celsius drinks would grab their attention. Many students use energy drinks as a quick fix to their sleepy morning struggle. However, that may not be fixing any problem our teens face and could create more issues like irritability, dehydration, and heart palpitations. Getting a good night's rest, limiting screen time, and having a healthy, balanced meal and hydration can help.

Students are encouraged to bring only water to school. Water is the best choice to stay hydrated and focused throughout the day. Please avoid sending juice, sports drinks, or energy drinks, as these can interfere with attention and overall wellness. Thank you for supporting healthy habits at school!

Liberty Urgent Care will continue to provide athletic physicals for the District at a cost of $55 per student. All students should indicate that they are from the Centennial School District when scheduling or arriving for their appointment.

Log College MS and Klinger MS faced off on Thursday night for their annual girls basketball matchup. It was a great game with a fantastic crowd. Following the contest, both teams met with one another as well as the WTHS coaches. Next year, many of the Klippers and Colonials will be Panthers!

Victory for the Klinger Klippers! They took down Bristol with a score of 48-36

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.
