***OUR 2017-2018 PROGRAM***
Dear CHS Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2017-18 school year at Centennial High School! We are excited to provide an education to close to 1,900 students this year. Our faculty and staff are prepared to provide the best education for your student(s). I am delighted to have your student in my classroom this year and look forward to exploring and sharing new learning experiences this school year with him/her. As the Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security (LPSCS) Instructor, I will create an educational partnership with you and your student that will foster courage, determination, and passion for knowledge. In addition to this, my commitment as an educator will be to provide your student with a nurturing and challenging educational environment that will ensure his/her academic success throughout the high school years and beyond.
Since the LPSCS curriculum is very challenging, homework will be an important reinforcement tool to help students achieve mastery with the standards. Homework will be assigned to your son/daughter every week as needed. It will reinforce concepts already discussed in class and always be a natural extension of their class coursework. Many homework assignments will require your student to study at home. When studying at home, students should have a quiet, distraction-free environment. Throughout the school year, your son/daughter will also be responsible for various assignments that may require a commitment of time on his/her weekend to complete, however, these occasions will be limited and you will be given advanced notice of when they will be assigned and when they will be due to the classroom.
Attendance and appropriate behavior at school are crucial to the learning process, therefore, it is imperative that your son/daughter attends school every day as a mature and responsible student. During the first week of school, I will be working together with my students to develop classroom expectations and out-of-school field trip guidelines. If an absence or tardy is unavoidable, your son/daughter will have the opportunity to complete their missed assignments, but nothing can recreate the classroom environment filled with student-teacher interaction when a student is late or absent.
Through our strong partnership, I will ensure that our common goal to have your son/daughter reach his/her full potential with the standards will be realized. Please look for future communications regarding SkillsUSA, Mock Trial, and LPSCS related information on this website. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you in advance for both your support and partnership for the upcoming school year. I look forward to working with you! Go Knights!!
Sincerely,
Brandi Terrell
