Centerville Families,

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all our soldiers, veterans, and their families. Your dedication, love for our country, and selfless sacrifices have protected the freedoms we hold dear.

On Tuesday, Centerville Elementary honored our veterans by creating a Wall of Honor that recognized family members who have served. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos and information. We hope to continue building on this tradition next year.

A special thank you goes to Peter Postma, who is currently serving in the Army Reserve, for visiting Mrs. Rand’s class. What an incredible opportunity for our students to learn about serving our country.

Finally, thank you to our students and teachers who created a display of appreciation along Main Street. Their banners honored our veterans in a meaningful way. Everyone’s efforts not only helped our students understand the importance of veterans’ contributions but also allowed our school to express our heartfelt appreciation.

Go Cougars!

Mr. Macken

School Board hosts listening sessions

In ongoing efforts to gather feedback from stakeholders, the School Board is hosting quarterly Listening Sessions for the public. The sessions provide the opportunity for community members, staff, parents, and students to meet informally with board representatives and the superintendent to discuss topics in the schools. Listening Sessions increase communication and engagement work that reflects the district’s commitment to excellence. Additional sessions to seek input/perspective on topics established by the Board would be scheduled as a special or additional Board Listening Session.

Board members or the superintendent may ask clarifying questions of you as the participant to gain a thorough understanding of your concern, suggestion, or request. If there is any follow-up or response to your comment or suggestion, you will be contacted via email or phone in a timely manner by a member of the board or administration. Please be aware that disrespectful comments or comments of a personal nature, directed at an individual either by name or inference, will not be allowed. Personnel concerns should be directed first to a principal or executive director of the department, then to the executive director of human resources, then to the superintendent, and finally, in writing, to the board.

Upcoming listening sessions:

December 1, February 9, and April 20. Sessions are held in the District Office Board Room from 5:30 pm-6:15 pm. More information can be found on the Centennial website.
