CENTRALIA HIGH SCHOOL
BACK TO SCHOOL INFORMATION
2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR
Welcome Back Tigers!
Thank you for your patience as we develop our all-virtual start to the 2020-21 school year. We are committed to
providing a robust, meaningful distance learning program for our students. We have been working on the all distance
learning model and our staff members are dedicated to providing exceptional instruction and support. We learned
many lessons from the school closure in the spring and are using that information to create an improved, rigorous,
instructional model.
Please click HERE to find Centralia High School’s all online distance learning daily schedule which was sent to students
and families on Friday August 14th.
The official first day of school for Centralia High School is Wednesday September 2, 2020. However, we will be
conducting Chromebook checkouts for all CHS students starting Tuesday September 1st. Centralia High School will
schedule a checkout time for each student on either Tuesday September 1st (9th & 12th graders) or Wednesday
September 2nd (10th & 11th graders) This will be a required activity for all CHS students. During this check out time,
students will receive their school issued Chromebook, fill out corresponding paperwork for the Chromebook
checkout, have their picture taken, receive a link to the student handbook, information how to access the student’s
class schedule, and receive their school ID card. Please stay tuned for more information regarding these orientation
days as we will be providing additional information as the time approaches.
CHS Modernization Project
Our CHS modernization project, which has completely remodeled our entire school, is complete! Thank you to our
10th, 11th and 12th graders who have been so patient during this process. All areas of the school will be ready for full
use as soon as we return to in person learning. We are very excited to see our new school used as it was designed!
We will send updated traffic flow information as we approach the start of face-to-face learning. In the meantime, if
you are accessing the CHS main office, please use the entrance at Borst and Eshom and if you are accessing the
Performing Arts Center or Gilmore Commons, please use the south entrance to access our new south area parking
area (bus turnaround and loading area).

Food Service
For the 2020-21 school year Food Service at Centralia High School will be providing breakfast and lunch at no cost to
students as a part of the CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) in Washington State. This means students will not be
1charged for meals this school year. Families will receive an annual income data survey in the first weeks of school via
regular U.S. mail and it will also be attached in our regular Student & Family Update communications. We encourage
you to complete and return the Income Data Survey, as it helps provide much needed funding for the district. An á la
carte menu will continue to be available to students at lunch. Menu prices and selections will be determined by food
service. In our commitment to continue to serve wholesome meals we will begin offering a curbside pickup point at
the high school for the period of time that school is NOT in session. This service will begin on September 2nd, our first
day of school and continue as long as we are engaged in virtual learning.

2Appropriate Dress
CHS students, whether it is in face-to-face or all distance learning model, are expected to dress appropriately to
ensure a positive learning environment and a safe school community. The dress code at CHS assists students as they
prepare for the work place. Clothing should be neat, clean and decent (Reference: SB Policy 3224/P Student Dress).

that may constitute a disruption to the educational environment or to the safety and well-being of CHS students.
