Attendance
Our attendance rate is 94.25%. We have one last push until the end of the school year to make it to 96% so we can slime Mrs. Byxbe/Mrs. Coniglio before they leave. Let’s do this, Huskies!! Congratulations to Mrs. Woelfle’s class who earned a Rootbeer Float Party for the highest attendance for our March/April Madness Competition!
PBIS – Positive Behavior Interventions & Support
Our monthly focus for May will be Finish STRONG! Students will be testing in the next few weeks to demonstrate everything they have learned. When the end is near, at times, it can be hard to stay motivated and show up. We’ve got to come to school every day and give that 100% all the way until our last day together.
We will call for Class PAWS at our last Late Start assembly next week and if we meet our goals, we will have Centennial’s Rendition of Masked Reader (similar to the tv show – Masked Singer) brought to us by some special guests. We continue to celebrate students when they visit the office for earning Purple PAWSitive office referrals. At our Late Start Assembly, we will also be celebrating students who have been working hard in our CICO (Check In/Check Out Program) this year.
