Dear Parents/Guardians of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders,
This spring, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be participating in an exciting skateboarding unit presented by instructors from Square State Skate in Boulder.
This unit will focus on:
- Safety and proper equipment: Learning about helmets, pads, and safe riding practices.
- Basic skills: Developing balance, coordination, and fundamental skateboarding techniques.
- Fun and fitness: Incorporating skateboarding into a healthy and active lifestyle.
To ensure student safety and participation, we require an online permission slip for each student.
The link to the permission slip is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10_P68xAHxDvp0l9BiELiP5s18JH0oTFFVbn3y-XAMFM/viewform?ts=67cb58b4&edit_requested=true

Did you know that students learn Centennial Teach To’s? This slide deck is used in every classroom and shared with students. These are very clear and consistent expectations for being a husky and following TRACK. You can click here to see them so that you can also review them at home with your child(ren). Please reach out to your child’s teacher or Sarah Coniglio if you have any questions!
When we celebrate the positive behavior students are demonstrating, we see more of these positive choices. We continue to celebrate this at school by giving out TRACKS and Purple PAWSitive Office Referrals. Students are so excited and feel proud when they are recognized for their positive behavior! We also celebrate Attendance, Academics and Citizenship each month at Late Start assemblies.
