Centennial School District R-1 will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11, due to an ongoing investigation of a potential threat to the school.
We are working closely and proactively with the Costilla County Sheriff’s Office to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community. While the investigation continues, we believe it is in the best interest of everyone to cancel school and all activities out of an abundance of caution.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. We appreciate your patience and understanding as law enforcement completes its work and we take time to ensure our campus is fully secure before reopening.
We will provide updates through our district communication channels — including phone, text, Facebook, and our school website — as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in keeping our Ram community safe.

The Centennial R-1 Board of Education will host a Board Work Session on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 5:30 pm., in the Centennial Library. The public is encouraged to attend.
Due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits for November may be delayed. Hopefully, the Federal Court Order on Friday directing the Federal Government to fund SNAP during the shutdown will mean SNAP benefits will not be impacted.
Centennial is here to help during this time. We are providing several reminders and opportunities if your family is impacted and needs extra food assistance.
School meals are still available free to all students. We also provide Friday school options, which include breakfast and lunch. During the month of November, Friday school will include special activities and events to provide additional learning opportunities. Have your student join us on Fridays to learn, eat, and grow.
Monday, November 3 is the next commodities distribution. Costilla County's commodity distribution, primarily through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), is scheduled for the first Monday of the month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Public Health Agency. This program provides USDA food boxes to low-income households. You must register at the distribution site and can only pick up food for yourself and one other household.
There is also the local Food Bank who provides food to families in need. We have resources to support families identified as McKinney-Vento. We also have many partnerships around the Valley to help you during this time. Give the front desk a call, so we can connect you and support you and your family during the time of additional need.
If you need additional food before your SNAP benefits are available, here are local resources that can help:
Colorado 211: Call 2-1-1- or 866-760-6489 or visit www.211colorado.org
Feeding Colorado: Visit www.feedingcolorado.org/find-food or email info@feedingcolorado.org
