Dear Staff, Students, and Parents,
Welcome
to Centennial School! Our commitment at Centennial School is to provide
a safe, and academically challenging environment that will empower
students to become problem solvers, independent thinkers, and inspired
learning prepared to thrive in the twenty-first century. High standards
and expectations for each student in regard to academic performance
and responsible citizenship, are the foundation of our school. It is
with pride, that when students leave our building, that they are ready
for the next stage of their life.
Within our
building, Centennial Staff utilizes various teaching techniques to meet
the student's learning styles, in order to best educate them in the
foundational skills, such as: mathmatical computations, reading fluency
and comprehension. We use technology to assist in the instruction of
our lessons. Smart Board technology, Renaissance Learning tools Lexia,
IXL, and AIMs Web, are just some tools we use to compile data to help
prepare lessons that will advance our students academically, and to help
them think more critically about what they are learning. Each student
has their own device in the building, to access Google Classroom, as
well as an email address to help facilitate communication with their
teachers.
Nelson Mandela once said "Education is
the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world". I want
our student to change the world! As the school year progresses, you
will come to realize, that I am your child's biggest advocate here in
the school, I will work tirelessly to ensure that they are welcomed
here, and will provide an atmosphere that is positive, caring, and
focused on learning, which are my top priorities. Their journey will be
one that I truly hope they will enjoy, and look forward to on a day to
day basis.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Susie Thrush
Principal
Centennial Elementary School
