Century High School
Principal’s Message
Greetings Century High School Parents and Students, At the October 16th Board Meeting, Dr. Lockard appointed me Acting Principal of Century High
School. I am thrilled to be given this opportunity to provide leadership at the greatest high school in
the state of Maryland! Having worked at Century before, I am very excited to return. I promise to
support the initiatives that are in place for our students to continue preparing them for life after high
school.
I am coming to Century from Westminster High School where I served as Assistant Principal. Prior to
Westminster, I was an AP at both Winters Mill and Century. The current seniors were freshman
when I left Century, so some may remember me. Before administration, I taught students art at
Shiloh Middle School. I have worked in several schools around different parts of the county, and
Century has always held a special place in my heart.
While the timing of this transition is unique, Mr. Barnes has been very supportive and has given me a
lot of guidance regarding the current state of Century High School. I feel well prepared to take on
this responsibility. Over the course of the 2019-2020 school year, I look forward to meeting as many
students, families, and community members that I can. I look forward to learning the position of
Principal and being a positive leader and role model. Most of all, I look forward to rejoining the
Century Family!
Sincerely, Brian Booz

AAPPL TEST- SEAL OF BILITERACY Information
The AAPPL test has been approved by CCPS for use as an assessment option to earn the MD Seal of Biliteracy
at graduation. The AAPPL test is given by computer and consists of four sections: Interpersonal
Listening/Speaking, Presentational Writing, Interpretive Reading, and Interpretive Listening. The test is
offered in many languages including: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish
and ESL. They also recently added assessments in Hindi, Italian, Japanese, and Thai. The four components of
the test take a total of approximately two hours. The AAPPL assesses the ability of a candidate to engage in
linguistic tasks on topics of personal, social, and academic relevance across the three modes of communication.
Each task, such as writing an email message, video-chatting in the target language, or making selections from
something heard or read, takes place in the context of the language classroom. Students who earn a minimum
rating of Intermediate High (or I-5) on all four sections of the assessment will be eligible for the Seal of
Biliteracy. Score reports should be available within two weeks of the testing date and will be sent to each
student at his or her school.
We will be offering the AAPPL test on two separate test dates for the 19-20 school year.
The first will be on Saturday, December 14, 2019 at Westminster High School at 7:30am, in the
Media Center.
The second date will be on Saturday, April 18, 2020 at Westminster High School at 7:30am, in the

The cost of the test is $20 per student and must be paid in cash or by a check made out to the
student’s home school, with AAPPL testing in the memo section.

Weather-Related School Closings
We wish to remind parents that we use School Messenger as one of our notification systems when we experience inclement weather and there is a change to the normal school day. Parents will receive an email message and a phone call to the Primary Number. We also encourage parent/student to look for announcements on our home page of our web site at www.carrollk12.org, CETV Channel 21 on Comcast Cable, and local and regional radio and television stations – WTTR (1470 Radio), WCBM (680 AM Radio), WBAL (1090 AM Radio), WMAR-TV (Channel 2-TV).
Cancellation of Extracurricular Activities Due to Inclement Weather
All practices, games and extracurricular activities are
CANCELLED when schools dismiss early due to
a weather-related emergency. Please do NOT call the school. We need to keep our lines open for emergency communications. If you do not want your student driving home if school closes early due to bad weather, please tell him/her ahead of time to ride the bus home or expect someone to pick them up. Having an emergency plan in place with your students prior to an unexpected closing will help to limit incoming and outgoing phone calls. We appreciate your cooperation

Acceptable Dancing Agreement for Students and Guests at School-sponsored Dances
2019-2020
An important part of the Century High School mission is to prepare students for the future by fostering the growth of social skills. An important social skill is the ability to behave with respect and responsibility in social settings. As we approach upcoming social events sponsored by the school, we feel that it is necessary to address potential student behavior that might fail to meet these standards of respect and responsibility. In this agreement, we are specifically referring to the type of dancing that is displayed at school dances. Sexually suggestive dancing is not a reflection of the behavior we accept from Century High School students, does not reflect community standards and is certainly not acceptable at school-sponsored dances. This agreement is intended to convey to students and their parents that the school administration and staff will neither accept nor tolerate dancing of this type. Individual students and guests engaging in sexually suggestive dancing will receive one warning. If they continue this type of dancing, their parents will be contacted and the student and their guest will be required to leave the dance for the remainder of the evening forfeiting ticket admission costs. In addition, the student’s eligibility to attend future dances may be jeopardized. Further, if this style of dancing is pervasive in the opinion of the Administrator in charge, the dance may be halted and students sent home without refund of the costs of admission. We encourage parents to discuss what is acceptable behavior at formal events such as the Homecoming Dance and the Junior/Senior Prom. It is our hope that the style of dancing by all in attendance will be appropriate so everyone will be able to enjoy school dances. In order to purchase a dance ticket, a student must have this signed agreement on file. Once the agreement is on file, the student will be eligible to purchase a ticket for any school dance for the remainder of the school year. Guests of Century High School students do not have to submit this agreement, however Century High School students who invite guests are responsible for ensuring that their guests also comply with this agreement. A Guest Pass is still required for those guests who are students of another high school.

Welcome to the Cafeteria!
2019-2020 School Year Welcome Back! We’re glad that you are here! Please be sure to join us every day for a delicious, healthy breakfast and lunch. We have been busy making your school cafeteria hi-tech and better than ever. Here are some things that we think you need to know to enhance your cafeteria experience.
Did you know that your child has a cafeteria account? Every student who goes through our cafeteria line will
use a unique, Personal Identification Number (PIN) to access their account. Parents have the option to add any
denomination to the account for the purchase of meals and snack items. It is a convenient way to ensure that
money is not lost or forgotten during that hectic morning rush!
Ok, so what is the PIN? Each student has been issued a unique, 5 digit PIN number. Please help them
remember this number! It makes the line move faster and ensures that everyone has plenty of time to enjoy
their meal. If they do happen to forget the number, the cashier will be able to find it for them.
How do I put money on the account? It’s easy!
Visit www.myschoolbucks.com to add any value to the account with a credit card. (There is a small service
provider fee for the transaction.) You’ll need your child’s PIN number to complete the simple registration
process. Please note: online payments require 24 hours to process before your child can access the
money.
You can still send in a check to your school’s cafeteria. The cafeteria manager will add it to the
account.
The money added to the account can be used to purchase meals AND snack items.
And of course…we will still accept cash! Cash transactions will also require your student to enter their
PIN number.
Can I monitor what my child is purchasing? Sure! Visit www.myschoolbucks.com and set up a FREE account. Once
you complete the simple registration process (you’ll need your child’s PIN to get started) you can set up low
balance alerts and monitor what they are purchasing.
You can forget about use it or lose it! Any money that is left on your child’s account will carry over from year to
year.
