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!

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.

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.

Update:

We will have two club sports this Spring: Pickleball and Lacrosse. These are in-house activities that do not require a physical. 6th grade students are eligible to participate. Meeting dates will be shared this week.

Log College's Annual 3 vs. 3 Tournament kicked off this week. Over 50 students participated with proceeds benefiting The American Heart Association.

On March 13, 2025, twenty students from Log College Middle School attended the Young Women in STEM Conference at Princeton University. It was an exciting day filled with science and exploration. The day started with the chance to learn from a Theoretical Physicist about what she does within her career and the experiences that she went through in life that got her to where she is today. Following this, students had the opportunity to explore various STEM exhibits. Many of these exhibits provided students with the chance to engage with female scientists and learn about topics through hands-on exploration. The day ended with the opportunity to learn from a career panel and observe a chemistry demonstration. Students were wowed by the chemistry demonstration; it had students hypothesizing what gases could be found inside of various inflated balloons, predicting what would happen to marshmallows when placed in a vacuum, and observing what happens to a balloon when it is exposed to liquid nitrogen.

Students from Log College Middle School were excited to participate in the BCMEA Bucks County Music Festival from March 20th- March 21st in Bensalem School District. Representing Log College in band were J. Campman, M. Croley, R. Lynette, C. Lopez Juarez, and A. Mahon. In chorus were C. Ayres, A. Bates, J. Beaman, O. Derzhko, A. Hildenbrand, S. MacGowan, L. Miller, A. Munroe, L. Price, A. Ungar, M. Ward. In orchestra were H. Guerrero, M. Chou, K. Ngo, O. Rexroth and N. Shelikhov.

Ms. Blaney earned a $500 grant for LCMS for student gardening. We can't wait to see what our students can produce!

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!

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.

Did you reserve a copy of this year's yearbook? You still have time to order!

The only way to guarantee that your child will get a copy in June, is to order online today! The cost of the yearbook is $32 or $35 for a personalized yearbook(digital name imprint on the front cover). To access the order center, just click the link below. If you are unsure if you ordered a copy, feel free to email Mrs. Hirsch to check!

As spring approaches, Mr. Devine’s science class will embark on an exciting experiment to explore the life cycle of plants. Students will choose their own seeds, plant them, and carefully observe their growth. This hands-on experiment will help students learn about the vital process of photosynthesis, while also tracking how plants grow with the right care and conditions, including water, sunlight, and soil. Regular sketching and note-taking will help track changes, while studying the process of photosynthesis will deepen understanding of how plants make their food.

Students have been working hard in Room 31! Sixth graders completed Math ‘All About Me’ Posters demonstrating mastery of learned math concepts, asking interesting and unique questions about themselves and solving math problems to arrive at the answers. They also completed an ‘Own the Word’ task for our Wit & Wisdom Vocabulary, demonstrating an understanding of the parts of speech and how the words are used in our class novel. Seventh and Eighth graders have been working on a research project, practicing locating reliable and credible sources for their topic. All the students worked hard in February to earn a class lunch incentive!
