DON'T MISS OUT:  To continue to receive the Comet Connection and other PTA       e-mails, you must go to the Centennial PTA website to update your Parent & Student Information beginning on August 1st.  The e-group for the previous school year (2017-2018) will be purged by the end of August! 


Are You Returning to Centennial for the 2018-2019 School Year?

DON'T FORGET THIS IMPORTANT STEP...

 

All returning students must update their registration through Parent Portal.  The Centennial Administration asks that your returning student registration be updated in Parent Portal between 7/26 and 8/3. This will help formulate complete class lists for Centennial teachers, allowing teacher assignments to be shared on August 8th.  Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

2018-2019 Returning Student Registration


2018-2019 PISD Volunteers Applications Opened July 1st!

We LOVE our Centennial Volunteers! Please take a moment today to submit your application as a 2018-2019 Volunteer. Go to PISD's Volunteer Application website and complete your registration form. All volunteers must complete this process every year, including returning volunteers. 

The approval process can take several weeks to complete due to the volume of applicants. Submitting now is a great way to ensure that you will be approved when school starts.

If you are volunteering at more than one school, you may save time by selecting all the locations on the "Jobs" tab, but please make sure you select Centennial Elementary.

If your spouse or other adult family members would like to volunteer during the year, please have them complete the application at this time as well.

If you have questions, visit PISD's PTA & Volunteering website or contact JulieTraub at vp.volunteers@centennialpta.net

Also, we are looking for Grade-level volunteer coordinators for 2nd - 5th grade. This person will be the contact for teachers in each grade level when they need volunteers. It is a great way to get to know the teachers and other parents. If you are interested, please contact Julie Traub at  vp.volunteers@centennialpta.net.
