Important Information from Mr. Adams, Our Principal

Mr. Adams emailed this to all the staff and asked that we post it on our blog pages.  Please read all the information below as it has some information that references start time for school as well as pick up at the end of the day.

Breakfast & the Start of the School Day
This is a reminder that breakfast begins being served at 7:45 a.m. and students are expected in the classrooms by 8:15 a.m. Please help students arrive by 8:00 a.m. if they plan to eat breakfast.

Procedure for Picking up your Child at School
The following procedures are ways in which you can help with the safety and security of all children within our building.  Recall that door locks and camera system were installed in the entry way at the beginning of the school year. We ask parents and visitors to report to the office upon arriving at school. Your child will either be waiting for you in the office based upon a prior note or phone call informing the school of an appointment, or secretaries will call your child's teacher asking them to send your child to the office to meet you. Please report to the office rather than reporting directly to the classroom.
This would also apply to picking up your child after school. Parents and siblings are being asked to wait in the cafeteria, allowing teachers to get students ready for dismissal, and then students will walk to the cafeteria to meet you.  Thank you in advance for your help.
EduCare Tutoring in Reading & Math
Supplemental Educational Services (SES) such as before school, after school, and summertime tutoring in reading and math is once again being offered to eligible students at Crestwood Elementary. The services are in addition to the instruction the students receive during the school year. We plan to renew our contract with EduCare, the same company that provided tutoring services last year.  In addition, we are excited that they are interested in allowing us to expand upon their program with iPad usage. Students are eligible based on family income and attendance at Crestwood Elementary.  A second letter will be sent this week. Please respond by completing the form or calling Crestwood Elementary at 563-547-2300.  We plan to start the tutoring sessions after the first of the year.
