Good evening Centennial families, We learned today there was a positive COVID case on the Centennial campus yesterday in the High School. We have worked with Public Health to determine anyone who was potentially exposed and sent them home for quarantining. Public Health will follow up with these families. We want to thank our students and staff for doing their best to always wear a mask and maintain 3 foot social distancing. Because of this, it is a small potential exposure group. Keep up the good work to keep our school and community safe.

The Vaccine Bus will be at Centennial this Wednesday, August 18 from 9-12. People who get vaccinated can get a $100 gift card. Students aged 12-17 can get an additional $50 gift card from the Land Rights Council if vaccinated. Let's do our part to slow this virus.
