SBAC State Tests
April 19, 2024
Dear students and families,
As we approach the state test, I want to take a moment to wish you all the best of luck and success. I understand that this test can be a source of stress and anxiety, but I want you to know that your hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed.
As your principal, I have seen firsthand the effort and commitment that you have put into your studies throughout the year. You have worked tirelessly to master the material and prepare for this moment. I do not doubt that you will rise to the occasion and perform to the best of your ability.
Remember, the state test is just one measure of your academic progress. While it is important, it is not the be-all and end-all of your education. Regardless of the outcome, you should be proud of all that you have accomplished and the growth that you have shown.
So, stay focused, stay calm, and stay confident. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and you will achieve great things. I am rooting for each and every one of you and know that you will do your very best.
Good luck and best wishes,
Mr. Serdar, Principal

Dear students, staff, and families,
Spring Break is here: There will be no classes, and no exams next week. No reason not to rest, relax and recharge to be ready for the remainder of the school year. This is a time for you to do something for yourself or your family that everyday life may otherwise hamper.
Whether traveling or staying close to home, I encourage you to take some time to engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Take the opportunity to care for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. We all do better in school and life when we are healthy.
As we look ahead to the remainder of the school year, I am confident that we will continue to rise to the occasion and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Let us return from Spring break with renewed energy and a sense of purpose, ready to tackle the next phase of our journey.
Thank you for all that you do, and have a wonderful Spring break!
Sincerely,
Mr. Serdar

Welcome Back to School!
August 2022
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the start of the 2022-2023 school year! I would like to welcome our incoming kindergarten students, new students, and all returning students and their families to Coral Academy Centennial Hills. I can’t stress enough how important it is to enter the new school year with a positive and optimistic outlook. Our positive words become positive thoughts that lead to positive actions.
CASLV Centennial Hills provides a safe learning environment and a positive school culture that centers on the philosophy that all students can, and will, Strive, Excel, and Succeed. I wholeheartedly believe that, academically, Coral Academy Centennial Hills is a high-performing elementary and middle school based on our students’ academic achievement in our core programs and the results on the state assessments. I want to thank all staff, students, and parents for creating and upholding Coral Academy's high level of expectation year after year.
We will continue with our building-level goals for the 2022-2023 school year that align with the school improvement plan. We will continue to focus on improving student achievement in the content areas of English/Language Arts and Math. In ELA we will foster literacy independence through the implementation of our core reading program and literacy-based centers during our ELA instructional time. In the content area of mathematics, we will focus on increasing student achievement through the implementation of best mathematical practices and math centers. With the new math curriculum, Reveal Math, we will have an additional math period this school year.
With the MTSS program and SOAR matrix, CASLV Centennial Hills will ensure that the emotional and social needs of students are coordinated to support student relationships and foster positive learning outcomes. We will make a concerted effort to embed SEL strategies and practices with our staff and students on a daily basis. We will continue to enhance our positive communication with parents. And lastly, we will continue to foster a warm and nurturing school culture. We will provide a safe and secure building environment for all staff and students.
Please take the time to visit CASLV Centennial Hills’ web page to read through the Elementary and Secondary Handbook. The handbook describes district policies and building procedures/expectations.
Thank you for your continued support to the dedicated staff at CASLV Centennial Hills. If you have questions at any time, please contact me so I can help. I look forward to a great school year!
Sincerely,

Dear Coral Academy Centennial Hills Families,
Posted in Fall
It is with great pride that I write this letter to you as the Principal of Coral Academy of Science Las Vegas (CASLV) Centennial Hills. I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich tradition both in and out of the classroom. We encourage you to experience our school culture, one that is focused on providing students with the academic and social resources that will prepare them to achieve their goals.
At Coral Academy, we believe that it is important for our students to be connected to the school through positive relationships and a strong sense of community. I believe that every student can learn and be successful if provided the right support and opportunities. Our teachers and staff are committed to providing all students with an appropriate and challenging educational experience in a respectful environment that fosters learning and growth.
A crucial part of success for students is attendance. As a parent or guardian, it is essential for you to maintain an attitude that “Every Day Counts” for students to be in school and ready to learn each day. At CASLV Centennial Hills, we will assist in helping parents and families understand the importance of instructional time and school attendance. Additionally at Coral, we recognize that family and community support are integral to our success. This is why we encourage you to join us as a volunteer. Parents/Guardians play the most important roles in a student's success and I invite you to collaborate with us in your students' education.
When we take the time to strategically plan, forge positive relationships, celebrate our achievements, and continue to build on our successful foundation, we can foster a learning environment where our entire Coral community thrives.
CASLV Centennial Hills is a place where exceptional teaching and learning are the norms. I am truly honored to be a part of the Falcons Community. I’m honored to continue serving our community. I have an open-door policy, and my number one goal is that our school community continues to thrive! Please don’t hesitate to contact me, I value your input.
