Planning for 2026-2027 School Year

 If your student will not be here next school year, please fill out the Google form below to help us form classes for next year. Again, this only applies if you know, or think, your student will not be here next year. We do understand things change and we can't plan for everything, but this will help. 


If your family is out of our boundary area, please fill out the renewal form for next year (if you haven't done so already), if you want your student to stay with us. This form must be done yearly.

 

Class Picture Day - May 5th

Order forms were sent home with your student. These forms will be collected on picture day. You may also purchase class pictures online by visiting https://www.clintworthphotography.com/ and using access code:4011.
 
the words walk n roll

Walk N Roll - May 13th

Our school hosts a Walk N Roll event one day each month. These are optional days that students can bike or walk to and from school, and once they arrive, can receive special prizes. Please wear helmets when riding, and make sure students are crossing roads safely. Walking or biking to school is not only amazing for your health, but it is also helpful to the environment! 
 

Taste of Kindergarten - June 3rd

For our new kindergarten families starting in the fall, we will be hosing our "Taste of Kindergarten" on June 3rd. Please remember to sign-up for a timeslot if you have not done so already. If you have trouble accessing the form please contact the office.
 

Attention 5th Grade Families

Please mark your calendars and join us on Tuesday, June 9th at 8:15 am for a special event. Our students and staff will be lining the hallways to cheer on and honor our 5th grade students and some of the graduating seniors from Olympia High School. The former students of Centennial will be returning to our school to walk the halls in their caps and gowns. Prior to this, our 5th graders will kick off the parade by walking the halls. We would love to have families gather in the playshed to cheer for their 5th graders as they finish up their walk. Once our 5th graders have walked the halls, our graduating seniors will come through. Please join your 5th grader in cheering on the seniors. This is such a special tradition for all of our students!

After this event, our graduating seniors will be heading back to OHS for their senior breakfast and we have a little something planned for our students as well. Sorry families, this is just for our students only and is a special time for them to spend together.
