TREATY LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

As members of the Centennial Elementary School Community, we are filled with gratitude as we honour Treaty 6 Territory, a traditional meeting place to the Cree, Metis, Blackfoot, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Saulteaux, and Inuit. Our inherent responsibility to safeguard and preserve the Earth stems from the First Nations’ relationship to the land.  Today, and all days, we acknowledge our shared history and the work we must do collectively to make the future a better place for all in our journey of reconciliation.

At Centennial, we are driven by a vision that every individual feels a sense of belonging within our safe, supportive, and inclusive community. We empower our students to embrace challenges with courage, cultivate a passion for lifelong learning, and make a positive impact on our school, our community, and the world beyond.

Our mission is centered on fostering curiosity and supporting each child in becoming a critical thinker, a confident communicator, and a lifelong learner. By building positive relationships and maintaining a shared belief in our collective ability to achieve, we ensure that all students are equipped with the skills necessary for success. Through continuous improvement and collaboration, we help students develop the resilience, responsibility, and compassion needed for personal and academic growth.

Centennial students engage in a variety of learning activities that connect them meaningfully to the curriculum. Our school offers a range of resources, such as an extensive library, guided reading collections, home reading materials, and classroom libraries to promote literacy. Students also have access to math manipulatives, Chromebooks, iPads, field trips, extracurricular clubs, leadership opportunities, and artist-in-residence programs that foster creativity and critical thinking.

We believe that responsibility, resilience, growth, community, and compassion are the core values that guide everything we do. These values are embedded in our approach to teaching, which is both differentiated and inclusive. Our educators use thoughtful planning, strategic assessment, and flexible instruction to meet the diverse needs of our students. This includes whole-class teaching, group work, partner activities, and individualized support where necessary. 

We are committed to ensuring all students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. At Centennial, we recognize that educating our children is a shared responsibility, one that involves students, families, school staff, and the community. Open communication is vital to the success of our partnerships, and we encourage your involvement, feedback, and support throughout the year. Our dedicated staff are here to work with you in nurturing your child’s potential and providing the best educational experience possible.

Through meaningful relationships and a focus on a growth mindset, we strive to create an environment where every student feels capable, connected, and valued. Our vision is to help each student succeed in ways that are not only academically fulfilling but also socially and emotionally enriching. Together, we are creating a space where students feel empowered to contribute to their school community and the wider world in meaningful ways.

On behalf of the entire Centennial staff, we warmly welcome you to our school! We look forward to partnering with you on this exciting journey.

Sincerely,

Shannon Harwood
