We had a wonderful week while working to finish up the month of October. It's crazy to think we are on the cusp of November! Time is flying!

We continue to be proud of the learning and growing our students do each day. Not only are they becoming better readers, writers and mathematicians, but they are learning to be a good friend, think critically, problem solve and collaborate. There are so many skills being worked in during any given day. It's truly amazing to see how they evolve all year long! Kudos to our phenomenal staff who foster all of those skills each and every day.

Fall conferences are coming up quickly. Please see the letter below for more details on dates and times. We hope to have a lot of our families in the building, but are happy to accommodate with a virtual conference if that is needed. Let us know how we can make sure to connect with you! There is so much wonderful information to share about your child!

On November 11th, Craddock will be hosting Veterans as part of our celebration of this special holiday. Please see the flyer linked below for more information. While we cannot invite all of our families to attend, we are inviting any Veterans related to any staff or students.

We will begin this week with our annual Fall Festival. I am so excited and I know the staff and students are too! Please read the document linked below for all you need to know about this special day.

Enjoy this beautiful fall weekend! Yeah Bucks and Go Browns!

Sincerely,

Kim Menta, Principal

Students can be dropped off at 8:40 a.m. at the earliest! Please do not allow them to exit your car until that time, as there is no staff to monitor them. Pick up will begin promptly at 3:10 each day. If everyone knows the system and cooperates, we will have all students in cars in 15-20 minutes.

Here are some things I need all car rider families to do, which will help immensely.

• Please do not use Willard to line up for drop off or pick up. We are working with the police to get it blocked off, but in the meantime, please avoid it. Enter Hurd Road off of New Hudson and begin lining up there. Please see the map below for guidance.
• Parents are not permitted to get out of their car when dropping off or picking up their child(ren). It is one of the main reasons the flow of traffic slows down. If you need to do that, you must pull into a marked parking spot. Again, we ask you don't do it at all. We have plenty of staff available to help your child in or out safely.
• All students must exit their car on the passenger side of the vehicle. We understand this can be tricky with child locks and car seats, but it is in the best interest of all our car riders to have it be this way. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
• We are not permitting people to turn left into the school from Hurd Road. You will be asked to continue down Hurd, turn around and join the end of the line.
• We ask that you please respect the guidelines we have set up and follow them consistently. Everyone involved in the car rider process, staff and parents, thank you!
