A Few Policy Notes
Attendance Procedures
As we approach the end of the year, we typically see an uptick in student absences for various reasons. As a reminder, please send in absence notes within three days of your child’s return to school. This will prevent illegal absence letters from being generated in Skyward.
Per School Board Policy 204 (Attendance), illegal absence letters are generated after three days, four days, and six days. An illegal absence means that no note was sent in after the student was absent. After four days of illegal absences, the school will contact you to set up a SAIP (Student Attendance Improvement Plan) meeting to discuss absences, and set up a plan to avoid additional illegal absences. After six days of illegal absences, a child is considered habitually truant and can be subject to a referral to a school or community-based attendance improvement program, Children & Youth, or can be cited in District Magisterial Court.
In addition to the illegal absence letters, a letter is generated after 10 cumulative days of absence (excused and illegal). After a student is absent for 10 or more days, notes from a “licensed practitioner of the healing arts” is required.
Absence notes can be sent electronically to our Attendance/Guidance Secretary at lcattendance@centennialsd.org.
For additional information about attendance please refer to CSD Policy 204: Attendance.
Thank you for your assistance with this, and we look forward to a successful conclusion to the ‘24-’25 school year!
Dress Code
With the warmer weather, we are seeing a rise in inappropriate/revealing dress by some of our students. Please make sure your children are wearing school-appropriate clothing each day.
Bus Reminder
We have had a number of requests for students to ride other buses recently. For the past two years, policy has not allowed this practice; students are only permitted to ride their assigned buses.
Title I Night - Rock the Test (PSSA Information) April 9 from 6:00-7:00
Spring Sports Schedule Now Available
Club Sports
Update:
Pickleball and Lacrosse will be happening this year. These are not PIAA sports and meet as clubs; PIAA physicals are not needed to participate. These clubs are open to 6th grade students.
Log College Student is a State Champion
Log College student and local gymnast Michael Ward recently competed in the Pennsylvania State Men’s Gymnastics Championships. He placed first all around in the state as well as championed in parallel bar and high bar in his level! We wish Michael luck as he moves on to the Regional Championships and, hopefully, Eastern Nationals.
6th Grade Trip to Hideaway
The 6th Grade field trip and end of year celebration will be on Monday, June 2nd at Hideaway Swim Club in Hatboro. Student permission slips will be distributed in classes in late March/early April. Stay tuned for more details!
Reading is Fundamental
Put down the phone....pick up a book!
We ask that you please encourage your child to read at home! Not only is reading a great hobby, it helps children to become better learners and helps them focus. It is the single, greatest way your child can help him or herself. Plus, more and more, reading is becoming an expectation for our English classes.
